The Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley reviews the Implementation of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) 2016; Calls for quick action to implement the IBC in a time bound manner
S.O. 2746(E).—In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of section 1 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016), the Central Government hereby appoints the 19th August, 2016 as the date on which the provisions of following sections of the said Code shall come into force:—
Terms and Conditions of Service of Chairperson and Members :– i. The Chairperson or the Whole Time Member shall be a person who does not, and will not, have any such financial or other interests as are likely to affect prejudicially his functions as such Chairperson or Member.
Applications are invited for the post of Chairperson and three Whole Time Members in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, a statutory body to be established under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
The intention of the Code is to do away with the antiquated existing laws covering aspects of insolvency and bankruptcy. Though the Code sets out certain provisions to amend and override the existing laws to avoid future litigation, a clear provision needs to be introduced to explicitly state the existing laws being repealed by the introduction of this legislation.
Background: Article 19 (1)(g) of the Constitution of India gives freedom to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business to the citizens of India, there are restrictions on closure of any industrial undertaking. Such restriction is justified on the ground that it is in public interest to prevent unemployment. As […]
There is no such framework for corporate debtors whose cases are already registered with High Court or SICA or other agencies where Liquidator has already been appointed, for transfer or for shifting of such cases under new Code, no such option is given in the Code. For example, in case where Liquidator has been appointed and case is pending for last 5 years or so, then the corporate debtor should have option to appoint resolution professional or insolvency agency and transfer the case to him so that the process can be completed in time bound period.
Even those different dates may be appointed for different provisions of this Code and any reference in any such provision to the commencement of this Code shall be construed as a reference to the commencement of that provision.
Insolvency & Bankruptcy code, 2016 (IBC) received the assent of president on 28/05/2016. The code has become an Act and provisions will be effective from a date to be notified. As stated in Section 255 read with schedule XI of ‘THE INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY CODE, 2016’. The Companies Act, 2013 shall be amended in the manner specified in the Eleventh Schedule.
Insolvency is a situation where individuals or companies are unable to repay their outstanding debt. It may be resolved by changing the repayment plan of the loans, or writing off part of the debt. If insolvency cannot be resolved, assets of the debtor may be sold to raise money, and repay the outstanding debt.
