The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) is the specialist quasi-judicial body in India that adjudicates company-law and corporate-insolvency matters. Constituted under Chapter XXVII of the Companies Act 2013 (Sections 407-434), the NCLT became operational from 1 June 2016 and consolidated jurisdictions previously divided across the Company Law Board (CLB) under the Companies Act 1956, the High Courts (for company-law matters), and the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) for industrial-sickness cases. The NCLT became the principal adjudicating authority for the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC) when the IBC was operationalised in late 2016, further expanding its role.
