Toh bhaiyon aur behno, Parliament ne finally IBC mein amendments approve kar diye hain. Is bill ko Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2026 bol rahe hain. Iska main goal hai ki companies jab financial problems mein phas jaati hain, toh unko handle karne ka system aur better ho jaye, especially foreign investors ke liye bhi.
Case Admission Tez Aur Court Ke Bahar Solution
Sabse pehle, ab NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) ko har insolvency application admit karni padegi agar default prove ho gaya. Pehle isme kaafi delays hote the kyunki reasons dhoondh lete the reject karne ke. Ab initial stage hi tez ho jayega.
Aur ek mast cheez hai Creditor-Initiated Insolvency Resolution Process (CIIRP). Isme, agar 51% financial creditors agree karein, toh company ke issues court ke bahar hi solve ho sakte hain. Yeh pre-packaged restructurings jaisa hai aur courts ke backlog se bachaega. Pata hai, abhi standard CIRP mein average 603 days lag jaate hain, jo ki legal limit 330 days se kaafi zyada hai. Toh CIIRP is gap ko fill karega.
Group Aur Cross-Border Cases Ke Liye Global Standards
Ab company group aur cross-border insolvencies ke liye bhi specific rules aa gaye hain. Yeh UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency jaisa hai. Matlab, agar kisi company ke assets aur creditors alag-alag countries mein hain, toh unka case handle karna aasan hoga. Investors ko ab legal certainty zyada milegi.
Distressed Asset Market Ko Boost
Is reforms se India ka distressed asset market bhi boost hone wala hai. Experts ko lagta hai ki delays kam hone se investors aur funds ko interest aayega. Log ab distress ko ek strategic opportunity dekh rahe hain.
IBC Timelines Mein Sudhar
Jab se IBC 2016 mein aaya tha, recovery rates badhe hain (average 26.5 cents se 71.6 cents per dollar). Par resolution time abhi bhi US, UK, Australia (1 year) aur Singapore (0.8 years) se zyada hai (India mein 1.6 years lagte hain). Yeh amendments is gap ko kam karenge, aur CIIRP India ko US Chapter 11 jaisa banayega jisme creditors ko zyada control milta hai.
Implementation Ki Chinta
Par bhai, sab kuch itna bhi smooth nahi hai. Kuch logon ko chinta hai ki law implement kaise hoga. Tribunal mein staff kam hai, professionals ki kami hai, aur infrastructure bhi utna strong nahi hai.
Ek aur worry hai ki CIIRP ka misuse ho sakta hai. Jo management ne gadbad ki hai, wohi shayad assets misuse kare agar koi automatic freeze na ho.
Kuch lawmakers ko lagta hai ki baar-baar changes se bade defaulters ko fayda ho sakta hai, aur chote businesses ko mushkil ho sakti hai.
Government Ka Vision
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman ne bola hai ki IBC ka main goal hai healthy businesses ko bachana, sirf debt recover karna nahi. Ab tak 1,376 companies resolve hui hain aur ₹4.11 lakh crore recover hue hain. Yeh naye changes isko aur better banayenge.
