Notice under IBC (Insolvency) — S.8 Demand

What this is

Send a statutory demand notice under Section 8 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code to a company or LLP that owes you ₹1 crore or more for goods supplied, services rendered or employment dues. The debtor has ten days to pay or show a genuine pre-existing dispute, failing which an insolvency application can be filed before the NCLT. It is for suppliers, service providers and other operational creditors of corporate debtors. Our panel advocate drafts, reviews and signs the notice on letterhead and it is sent to the debtor by email and WhatsApp, with tracked speed post if you choose it.
