Abstract
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) has been one of the most ground-breaking laws enacted in the country in recent times. It has already subsumed the existing Sick Industrial Companies Act (SICA), revamped the Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRT) and has emerged as a major legislation. Consequent to the implementation of IBC, there has been a paradigm shift in the debt-recovery scenario in India. Encompassing all companies, partnership firms and individuals, the code offers uniform, comprehensive insolvency legislation along with coherent and consistent provisions for the stakeholders affected by inability to pay debt or business failure. Unlike the time-consuming and never-ending process that used to be prevalent earlier, the code aims to attain time-bound and effective bankruptcy resolution. Now, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has taken a pivotal role. This chapter analyses the IBC’s effectiveness in handling the situation that it was created for.
