With IBC Amendment Bill, govt hopes to expedite insolvency process, maximise value: Key takeaways
The much-awaited bill to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who said that the proposed changes are aimed at reducing delays, maximising value for all stakeholders, and improving governance of all processes under the Code. The proposed modifications include provisions to ensure faster admission of insolvency cases, an out-of-court mechanism to address 'genuine business failures', and introduction of group and cross-border insolvency frameworks, and a slew of others. Introduced in 2016, the IBC promised an overhaul of insolvency resolution with the aim to rescue and reorganise distressed companies through a time-bound process, prioritising their survival as going concerns. While the IBC has fostered a culture of accountability and credit discipline among debtors, its efficiency has been undermined by procedural delays, shortage of personnel, deviations from key principles, and slow implementation of critical provisions. Although the IBC has had a few successes, it has been marred by issues like high case backlog, lengthy delays in admission and resolution, and steep haircuts for creditors. Over the past couple of years, various stakeholders flagged concerns and the need to rethink the IBC's design. The amendment bill—referred to a select committee for consultations—is expected to help make the insolvency resolution process swifter and efficient, in addition to being in line with international best practices. The proposed amendments are to facilitate faster admission, resolution, and liquidation, maximise asset value, and improve governance. Changes to deal with admission delays One of the key changes proposed in the amendment bill is that an insolvency application filed by a financial creditor 'must' be admitted if the default is proven, procedural compliance is met, and there are no disciplinary proceedings against the resolution professional. This means that there will be no real scope for rejecting such applications on additional grounds, and the default would be the only real ground for consideration of an insolvency application. The bill also clarifies that records from financial institutions are to be considered as sufficient and conclusive proof of default by the debtor. While the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) should ideally decide on whether a case can be admitted under the IBC within 14 days of an insolvency application, it often takes months and sometimes even over a year to initiate insolvency proceedings. The average time taken for admission is around 434 days. In 2022, the Supreme Court had held that admission within 14 days was not a mandatory provision of the IBC and that the NCLT had discretionary powers on deciding whether or not to admit the insolvency application. This meant that the NCLT, instead of considering just the default as the sole basis of admission, was to also consider the default's circumstances and the debtor's arguments. That is going to change if the bill is enacted in its current form. The amendment bill also stipulates that the adjudicating authority — the NCLT — should strictly enforce the 14-day timeline to decide on admission of insolvency applications, and if there is a delay, it would need to 'record the reasons for such delay in writing'. Out-of-court initiation mechanism option The bill proposes a creditor-initiated insolvency resolution process (CIIRP), with an out-of-court initiation mechanism for 'genuine business failures' to facilitate faster and more cost-effective insolvency resolution with minimal business disruption. According to the government, once implemented, this will help ease the burden on the judicial system, promote ease of doing business, and improve access to credit. As per the proposed amendments, for CIIRP, a financial creditor would have to get the consent of creditors representing at least 51 per cent of the debtor's outstanding debt. Meanwhile, the corporate debtor can continue to manage the company with oversight from a resolution professional, who would attend board meetings and will have veto powers. The CIIRP process would be required to be concluded within 150 days. If there is failure to reach a resolution within that time frame or the plan is rejected, the CIIRP can be converted into a standard corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) under the IBC framework. Group and cross-border insolvency frameworks The bill has proposed a group insolvency framework, which seeks to resolve insolvencies that involve complex corporate group structures. Essentially, it would facilitate coordinated insolvency proceedings involving entities of the same corporate groups, instead of individual proceedings for each debtor separately. The proposed framework is aimed at minimising value destruction caused by fragmented proceedings involving individual companies that are part of the same corporate group, and helping creditors to maximise value through coordinated decision-making in such cases. As per the bill, the government can prescribe how insolvency proceedings against more than one debtors within a corporate group should be handled. This would potentially allow having a common resolution professional for group companies and a joint panel of committee of creditors (CoC) of the group companies, among other measures, to save time and costs. The cross-border insolvency framework proposed in the bill aims to lay the foundation for protecting stakeholder interests in domestic and foreign insolvency proceedings, promoting investor confidence, and aligning the framework in India with global best practices. This is expected to improve the recognition of India's insolvency process in overseas jurisdictions, and help with recovery of foreign assets of corporate debtors undergoing insolvency proceedings in India. Other key provisions The amendment bill has proposed changes to improve the efficiency and oversight in the liquidation process by authorising the CoC to supervise liquidation. It includes a provision to allow the CoC to replace the liquidator through a 66 per cent vote. The proposed changes also include extending the moratorium on assets available under the CIRP to the liquidation process in a bid to expedite dissolution. The bill's provisions also allow the adjudicating authority to restore the CIRP once — on the request of the CoC — thereby facilitating the potential rescue of viable companies. The CoC can recommend direct dissolution if assets are negligible, and will be empowered to retain or appoint the resolution professional as liquidator, according to the provisions of the bill. The bill also proposes to expand the definition of resolution plans to include sale of assets. It also restricts the right of the corporate applicant to propose the resolution professional to ensure fairer and more transparent appointments. The amendments also propose restricting the withdrawal of CIRP applications before the constitution of the CoC and after the first invitation of the resolution plans, and also enable continuation of avoidance transaction proceedings after the resolution process has concluded. Other proposed changes include removal of the interim moratorium for personal guarantors and introduction of a provision to prevent transactions that defraud creditors. The priority of government dues is also clarified in the bill.

Tom Brady feels NIL is creating ‘messed up' values for NFL rookies
Tom Brady has expressed concern that the lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals now available to college athletes may be having an unintended effect on their focus, mindset, and readiness for the NFL. Tom Brady raised alarms regarding NIL deals, suggesting they may confuse young athletes and divert their focus from essential life values, which he believes are critical for their future success. (Photo by Billie Weiss / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP)(Getty Images via AFP) The seven-time Super Bowl champion, now in his first year as a FOX NFL analyst, during an appearance on The Joel Klatt Show, shared, 'Their frontal lobes aren't even fully developed yet, and now we're tempting them with real-life, adult situations and their parents, and now they have agents.' Since NIL rights came into effect in July 2021, college athletes have been able to profit from endorsements, sponsorships, and other commercial opportunities. For some, the earnings can surpass what they would make on a standard NFL rookie contract. ALSO READ| Tom Brady's new Gillette bronze statue dubbed 'weird', Patriots fans ask, 'where is the trophy?' Tom Brady's view on the NFL's NIL deal Plus, last month, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning pay-for-play NIL deals. 'I'm sure it's a very confusing time, and I'm sure a lot of parents are confused. I'm sure a lot of kids are confused, but because we're just talking about money, money, money, money, like, that's the only value in college. Is that what we're saying? That, to me, the priorities are a bit messed up,' Brady said. 'We're valuing the wrong things. I'm not saying it's not important. It's one of 10 things that are important, and certainly to me, it's not the most important.' 'So when kids do go through that the right way, they're actually learning the right values. When you have the right values in life, that's going to sustain you as you move on through the rest of your life,' he continued. ALSO READ| Tom Brady turns 48: A look at NFL star's sweetest moments with his three kids During the talk show, the seven-time Super Bowl champion credited his time at the University of Michigan, where he played from 1995 to 1999, before NIL rights existed.

FM tables IBC amendment bill to speed up insolvency cases
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman speaks in Lok Sabha during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, in New Delhi on Tuesday. (Sansad TV/ANI Video Grab) NEW DELHI: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday introduced amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), aimed at making the law more effective and speed up the process, while proposing an out-of-court mechanism to address genuine business failures, domestic group insolvency and cross-border insolvency frameworks. The bill, which has been in the pipeline for over a year, was referred to a select committee, which will submit its report in the next session of Parliament. "Once implemented, this will help ease the burden on judicial systems, promote ease of doing business and improve access to credit," Sitharaman said. With cases taking 434 days to be admitted against the mandated 14 days, the bill seeks to amend section 7 to specify that an application for initiating corporate insolvency action by financial creditors shall be admitted if a default exists, and no other grounds shall be considered for deciding such an application. In case of a plea by a financial institution, records from information utilities will be sufficient evidence to ascertain if there is a default. Besides, the definition of resolution plans is proposed to be expanded to include sale of assets and the right of the corporate applicant to propose the resolution professional is restricted to ensure fairer and more transparent appointments. The proposed amendments restrict withdrawal of applications before the constitution of the committee of creditors and after the first invitation of the resolution plans and also enable continuation of avoidance transaction proceedings post the resolution process. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn 57+ Languages Easily with AI [Join] Talkpal AI Sign Up Undo Further, enhancement of recoveries from avoidance transactions, wrongful and fraudulent trading by extending the look back period and allowing creditors to also file for these transactions have been included to maximise asset value. The liquidation process is also sought to be speeded up by empowering the committee of creditors to supervise it, including a provision for replacing the liquidator by a 66% vote, and extending the moratorium available under the corporate insolvency resolution process to the liquidation process (CIRP) in a bid to speed up company dissolution. The proposals allow the Adjudicating Authority to restore CIRP once on the request of the committee of creditors, to enable potential rescue of viable companies. The committee of creditors can also recommend direct dissolution if assets are negligible and can retain or appoint the resolution professional as liquidator. The bill also seeks to introduce a Creditor Initiated Insolvency Resolution Process and do away with fast-track CIRP, which has seen low interest. creditor-initiated insolvency resolution process (CIIRP) is being pushed as a new tool to speed up resolution, while preserving the asset value. Under this process, select FIs can initiate insolvency outside court with approval from unrelated financial institutions, while the corporate debtor can continue to manage the company with oversight from a resolution professional, who would attend meetings of the board of directors and have veto powers.
