- Government of India has initiated bold steps by introduction of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code 2016 in view to reduce NPA / recovery of dues of the banks / financial institutions. The code provides separate insolvency resolution processes by individuals, companies and partnership firms including LLP and endeavors to provide a speedy and time bound mechanism to deal with the proceedings.

The case of insolvency for Corporate / LLP’s shall be taken care by National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and for individual and partnership firm by Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).
- The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code passed by the Parliament is a welcome overhaul of the existing framework dealing with insolvency of corporate(s), individuals, partnerships and other entities. It paves the way for much needed reforms while focusing on creditor driven insolvency resolution. Earlier, there were multiple overlapping laws and adjudicating forums dealing with financial failure and insolvency of companies and individuals in India. The legal and institutional framework did not aid lenders in effective and timely recovery or restructuring of defaulted assets and causes undue strain on the Indian credit system. Recognizing that reforms in the bankruptcy and insolvency regime are critical for improving the business environment and alleviating distressed credit markets. After a public consultation process and recommendations from a joint committee of Parliament, both houses of Parliament have now passed the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Code). While the legislation of the Code is a historical development for economic reforms in India, its effect will be seen in due course when the institutional infrastructure and implementing rules as envisaged under the Code are formed.
