IBC case document retrieval and organization service
The Opportunity
The IBC has processed ₹1.04 lakh crore in recoveries, but banks and creditors are drowning in scattered court documents, case files, and recovery paperwork across multiple courts and insolvency offices. No one is systematically retrieving, organizing, and delivering physical case documents to stakeholders who need them for legal action, asset claims, or compliance — they're hiring expensive lawyers or spending weeks in court corridors.
Market Size
₹300-500 Cr addressable market — based on ₹54,528 Cr recovered under IBC (2021-2026), with 15-20% of stakeholders needing document retrieval services at ₹15,000-50,000 per case
Business Model
Charge ₹20,000-40,000 per case to retrieve, photocopy, and courier complete IBC case documents from NCLT/DRT courts and insolvency office registries to banks, NBFCs, asset recovery agents, and corporate creditors. Recurring revenue from multi-case accounts.
₹25,000 average per case document retrieval (₹10K retrieval fee + ₹10K courier/filing + ₹5K markup)₹500-1,000/month retainer from 10-15 regular bank/NBFC clients for standing document requests₹5,000-10,000 per case for certified copy attestation and expedited court filing services
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Register as authorized agent with 2-3 NCLT benches (Mumbai, Delhi); visit court registry offices to understand document request process and fee structure; collect contact list of 20 recovery firms and banks
Set up small office within 2km of NCLT with filing cabinet, scanner, photocopier; create standardized case document checklist (order copies, adjudication notices, liquidation reports, asset schedules); test retrieving 2-3 live cases
Cold-call 30 recovery agents, bank asset managers, and NBFCs; offer first 3 cases at 20% discount to build testimonials; hire 1 part-time courier/filing person
Land first 2 retainer clients (₹500-1,000/month standing orders); systematize handoff process (intake form → court visit → scan → courier tracking); create WhatsApp status updates for clients on case progress
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
Register as proprietorship under GST (Service – Document Management, 18% GST applicable). No special license needed; court access is public. NCLT rules allow authorized agents to file document requests on behalf of creditors (verified through NCLT counsel manual).
