👉 NCLT Grants Three Days To Cox & Kings’ Suspended Directors To Submit Records - The National Company Law Tribunal on Monday granted three days to suspended directors of Cox & Kings (India) Ltd. for submitting statutory information and records to the resolution professional. The resolution professional of the tours and travel company told the tribunal that the former directors and the erstwhile auditor are not submitting statutory information and records, which is making the insolvency process difficult. The Mumbai bench of the NCLT in October 2019 admitted an insolvency application against Cox & Kings after the tour operator defaulted on its debt obligations to the company's financial creditor, Ratan India Finance Ltd.
