In India, one of the biggest challenges of the last decade was to overcome Insolvency and Bankruptcy, as the law pertaining to the same was out-dated and archaic. Therefore, to ease the distressed credit market and improve the business environment, there was a significant need to make reforms in the insolvency and bankruptcy regime.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 was passed with the aim to provide a uniform, consistent, and comprehensive set of legislations comprising of all the partnerships, LLPs, companies, and individuals.
The Code has shifted the prototype to the “Creditor in Control” from the existing “Debtor in Possession” regime. Not only does it aim to resolve the insolvencies in a time bound manner but clearly explains the Order of Priority as well. The IBC 2016 has an overriding effect on all the other prevailing insolvency and bankruptcy laws.
