The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) are two important legal institutions in India that play a crucial role in resolving disputes related to corporate law. Both the NCLT and NCLAT were established under the Companies Act, of 2013, and are tasked with resolving disputes related to companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).
WHAT IS NCLT?
The NCLT is the primary forum for resolving disputes related to companies and LLPs. It has the power to hear and determine cases related to the winding up of companies, oppression and mismanagement, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters related to companies and LLPs. The NCLT operates at multiple locations across India and has the authority to pass binding orders and directions to the parties involved in a dispute. In the event of a dispute, a lawyer or legal professional can represent the parties involved in front of the NCLT.
WHAT IS NCLAT?
The NCLAT, on the other hand, is the appellate tribunal for hearing appeals against orders passed by the NCLT. It has the power to hear and determine appeals against orders passed by the NCLT, as well as to hear original applications in certain matters. The NCLAT operates at one location in New Delhi and has the power to pass binding orders and directions to the parties involved in a dispute. In the event of an appeal against an order passed by the NCLT, a lawyer or legal professional can represent the parties involved in front of the NCLAT.

It is important to note that the NCLT and NCLAT operate differently and have different procedures. A lawyer or legal professional is typically required to navigate these procedures and to represent clients in disputes before these tribunals.
The NCLT and NCLAT both play a crucial role in ensuring that disputes related to companies and LLPs are resolved in a timely and efficient manner and that the rights of all parties involved are protected.
In addition to the resolution of disputes, the NCLT and NCLAT also play a crucial role in promoting the ease of doing business in India. They provide a forum for the resolution of disputes related to companies and LLPs that is accessible and efficient, which helps to attract investment and promote economic growth.
