India until the introduction of the present Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 had offered a multi-pronged solution to the problem of recovery of debt/revitalizing the failing business. As many as 13 enactments (such as SARFASEI, RDB Act, SICA, Company law etc.) dealing with insolvency and bankruptcy existed and there was no single law in India dealing with Insolvency and Bankruptcy.
Pendency of serious criminal proceeding, as noted above, against the applicant adversely impacts his reputation and makes him not a person fit and proper for registration as an IP. In exercise of the powers conferred on the Board under regulation 8(3)(b) of the Regulations, I, therefore, reject the application for registration as an Insolvency Professional.
When a corporate debtor undergoes corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP), an Insolvency Professional (IP) is vested with the management of its affairs and he manages its operations as a going concern. He complies with the applicable laws on behalf of the corporate debtor. He conducts the entire CIRP.
Dr. M. S. Sahoo, Chairperson accompanied by all three Whole Time Members, Ms. Suman Saxena, Dr. Navrang Saini and Dr. (Ms.) Mukulita Vijayawargia appeared before the Joint Committee on “the Financial and Resolution and Deposit Insurance Bill, 2017” on 22 January, 2018 and presented their views on the said Bill.
Hon’ble President on June 06, 2018 gave his assent to promulgate the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018. These Sections shall come into force with immediate effect. An attempt has been made in this document to shed light on the key changes in the insolvency legislation.
The new IBC (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018 equates an allottee of a real estate project to be a person having a commercial effect of borrowing. He is now treated as financial creditor. He can initiate a corporate insolvency for a resolution against the errant developer.
Amid financial institutions and other financial and operational creditors being successful in instituting insolvency resolution process against the corporate debtors, the plea of the home buyers for initiating the insolvency resolution process against the corporate debtors, being real estate developers was struck down by NCLT.
