Insolvency and Bankruptcy Law
Lending money is a risky affair in the Country, although we have several debt recovery laws, the effectiveness of the same was minimalist. The creditors who lend finance often have to face severe hardships and courtroom dramas to recover its money back. On the other hand the debtors/ promoters of the companies who have availed such loans continue to run their businesses and default to various other parties and stakeholders for several years.
The Government of India proposed the Code with an objective of consolidating and amending the laws relating to reorganization and insolvency resolution of corporate persons, partnership firms and individuals in a time bound manner for maximization of the value of assets of such persons. With an idea to give power to the Creditors and remove the defaulters/management but save the business the Code was developed.
