Government clarified that the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) does not have provisions for declaring companies as “corrupt” and is not applicable to cooperative societies. Specifically, no company named “Barshi Textile Mills” in Osmanabad Parliamentary Constituency is admitted under the IBC. Consequently, inquiries regarding its status, income, expenditure over the last decade, reasons for closure since 2019, or worker payments are not applicable. No proposals for restarting the mill have been received, nor are there pending actions related to worker payments under the purview of the IBC.
