Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q2: Is an arbitration award enforceable in India?
A: Yes, both domestic and foreign arbitral awards are enforceable in India under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, subject to certain conditions such as public policy and due process.

Q3: Can I challenge an arbitral award in court?
A: Yes, but only on limited grounds such as fraud, bias, lack of jurisdiction, or violation of public policy. Courts in India generally uphold the finality of arbitral awards.

Q4: How long does the arbitration process take in India?
