The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 9 Apr 2021The government has done well to allow pre-packaged insolvency resolution plans for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with defaults up to ₹1 crore. This debtor-initiated reorganisation plan in advance with creditors on board will give MSMEs a chance to rehabilitate themselves, rather than get liquidated. And those that cannot be restored would have their assets efficiently redeployed. Essentially, pre-packs underline the fundamental purpose of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC): swiftly bring back into a productive framework assets trapped in failing companies, rather than help banks and vendors recover their dues. Speed is vital when a company goes into distress to better the chances of its turnaround as a going concern. So, the time limit of 120 days for completion of a pre-packaged resolution plan is in order. It will help reduce the load on the National Company Law Tribunals.
