STEPS INVOLVED IN THE INSOLVENCY RESOLUTION PROCESS OF THE CORPORATES

Aug 10, 2021
     
In Indian law, legislation was clearly integrated in 2016 on insolvency. Until then, insolvencyand bankruptcy issues were primarily handled in several codifications that laid down rulesthat corresponded to the necessity of the defined code. For example, SARFAESI Act 2002provided for the discharge by the bank liabilities for the secured creditor for its securedinterest, and Banks and Financial Institutes Act, 1993, laid down the rules on the recovery offinancial debts, as laid down by the SARFAESI Act 2013 provision for the winding-up ofcompanies.Given the losses of the creditors in the absence of legal obligations in the event of non-payment of the debt in due course, Parliament introduced in 2015 the Insolvency andInsolvency Bill, approved in 2016 ('The Code'). The losses suffered by the creditors affectedthe financial stability of both creditors and the economy by extension.The Indian Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code ensures that the insolvency procedure forcompanies, partnerships and individuals is legally binding and sustainable.CORPORATE INSOLVENCY RESOLUTION PROCESS (CIRP)STEP 1:A petition is presented to the National Company Law Tribunal. If, as stated above, a firmfails to give its creditors payments, the creditors are entitled to make a request from the CIRPbefore the judging authority. In the case of the corporate debtor, a National Corporate LawTribunal (hereafter referred to as the NCLT) will be the relevant Adjudicating Authority.Once the petition is filed, the NCLT analyses whether it has or not a localus standi in front ofthe tribunal. If the Court cannot discover any substance, such as the default in an application,which does not comply, in accordance with Section 4 of the Code (currently the INR OneCrore, with the minimum INR One lakh barrier, the Court will refuse the request. However, ifthe tribunal decides that the petition is feasible, it allows that (see points 7, 9 or 10 of theCode) which leads the procedure to begin. Within 14 days after the submission of thepetition, NCLT shall call for the hearing.STEP 2:The Professional Resolution (hereafter "PR"), as specified in Code 27, shall be a licencedprofessional insolvency appointed and appointed to the creditors' committee. The NCLTappoints the IRP till that time. The second stage in the procedure is that the company IRP willcarry out the rest of the insolvency process and ensure that businesses are a worry for thecorporate debtor.STEP 3:It involves Moratorium: The term of moratorium begins when the tribunal admits the request.In accordance with Section 14 of the Code on declaration of that period the tribunal forbidsthe following; Launching of new cases (in financial debt) for outstanding claims against thecorporate debtor;; The corporate debtor's defence of any operational, financial, legal or administrativeresponsibility; Any further foreclosure or recovery of corporate debt in accordance with the Act ofSARFAESI in 2002; and the recovery of any property he has at the time of thebankruptcy procedure from the corporate debtor. Recovery from the corporate debtor of any property that he possesses at the time ofthe insolvency process.The term of moratorium will continue till the conclusion of the CIRP procedure. Moratoriumperiod remains in subsistence till the time the CIRP process is concluded. The upper limit ofcontinuance of this period is 180 days with a possible extension of 90 days under exceptionalcircumstances.STEP 4:It involves Collation and analysis of the facts. The Insolvency Resolution Professionalsystematically categorises and analyses the claims made by the petitioner under Article 18(b)of the Code. If the IRP requests the petitioner to expose a claim, the Code permits the IRP tosummon the petitioner for clarification in respect of the request. In accordance with section18(c) of the Code, the IRP is also obliged, within 30 days of the beginning of the CIRP, toform the Creditors' Committee (COC). The committee then appoints an RP after the COC hasbeen established. Depending on the committee's judgement, the IRP can potentially maintainthe post or a new nomination might be made.STEP 5:The Insolvency Resolution Professional /RP should follow a public notice by COC when itcollects and validates the petitioner's allegations. The notice indicates that the corporateobligor is in an insolvency process and is asked to submit a resolution programme that maypossibly be executed to any interested candidates or bidders. These offerors might beforward-looking investors, creditors, etc. The COC reads the same according to the numberof suggested resolution plans. The strategy for approving 75% of the COC will be submittedto the NCLT. The plan is guaranteed.STEP 6:The COC-approved resolution plan is submitted to the NCLT. The same is done and becomesobligatory on the corporate debtor and all stakeholders if the NCLT penalises the authorisedresolution plan. In the absence of a resolution plan by the NCLT or the COC in the specifiedterm, the COC will be unable to finish its resolution plan. Then, within 1 year of the order,the Court ordered the discharge of the corporate debtor.CONCLUSION:In the context of the foregoing stages, the Code has succeeded in stabilising and structuringthe insolvency process. The lack of a mechanism was a critical shortcoming in insolvencyimplementation before legislation became clear. The insolvency procedure is currentlysimplified and includes a deadline to finish the advancement following implementation of theCode.
