Corporate Law Questions
Browse corporate law questions asked by people across India.
Questions in Corporate Law are answered with reference to Section 185 of the Companies Act, 2013 on loans to directors, the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the SEBI Act, 1992. Each answer states the section that applies, the forum that hears the matter and the limitation period, so the position can be checked against the official text at India Code before you act on it.
The forum depends on the facts rather than the label: a dispute described as a family matter may be heard by a family court, a magistrate or a civil judge depending on whether the relief sought is maintenance, custody, injunction or declaration. Where the law has been renumbered by the 2023 criminal law reforms, answers note both the old and the new section numbers.
