The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 10 Apr 2019A column in this newspaper by Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog, and Richa Roy, a lawyer, rightly underscored the need to strengthen the working of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) for effective resolution of corporate distress. It assumes significance following the Supreme Court’s decision to quash RBI’s February 12 circular that directed banks to initiate bankruptcy proceedings against defaults above a specified amount. Banks must now, on their own volition, put the code to use. It is the real cure to tackle corporate sickness. But more can, and should be, done for the IBC to deliver better outcomes. For one, the government should provide more human and financial resources to the National Company Law Tribunal. Its appellate tribunals have interpreted the law, for example, on the share of different classes of creditors on the resolution proceeds. This must be corrected.
