Bankruptcy – Meaning
Bankruptcy offers an individual or business a
chance to start fresh by forgiving debts that simply
can't be paid while offering creditors a chance to
obtain some measure of repayment based on what
assets are available. In theory, the ability to file for
bankruptcy can benefit an overall economy by
giving persons and businesses another chance and
providing creditors with a measure of debtrepayment.
Bankruptcy – Definition
Legal procedure for liquidating a business (or
property owned by an individual) which cannot
fully pay its debts out of its current assets .
Bankruptcy can be brought upon itself by an
insolvent debtor (called voluntary bankruptcy) or it
can be filed by financial /operational creditors.
Bankruptcy – Present ScenarioPresently , Before a company goes into liquidation,
the debtors and creditors follow a complex
procedure which involves the following :
a) JLF/CDR
b) SDR
c) SARFAESI
d) DRT
e) BIFR
f) Winding Up.In the present scenario, creditors extend the funding ,
restructure the debt but the entire process to achieve turn
around is solely dependent on the capability of the present
promoters except in case of SDR where lenders search for a
new promoter for the company

Bankruptcy – The Code
The Code offers a uniform, comprehensive insolvency
legislation encompassing all companies, partnerships and
individuals (other than financial firms). The Government is
proposing a separate framework for bankruptcy resolution
in failing banks and financial sector entities.
One of the fundamental features of the Code is that it allows creditors
to assess the viability of a debtor as a business decision, and agree
upon a plan for its revival or a speedy liquidation. The Code creates a
new institutional framework, consisting of a regulator, insolvency
professionals, information utilities and adjudicatory mechanisms, that
will facilitate a formal and time bound insolvency resolution process
and liquidation
Bankruptcy – Triggering event
Default by Individuals and partnership firm : Rs 1,000/-Default by companies/LLPs : Rs 1,00,000/-
Bankruptcy – Proposed Model
The code proposes a two stage Model both for corporates and Individuals/partnership firms .
(i) Insolvency Resolution Process
(iI) Liquidation
Supermajority requires 75% voting in
favour/against of the resolution.
Insolvency Resolution Process Commencement of IRP : Individual and partnership firms will file
bankruptcy in DRT and the companies and LLP will file in National
Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)
Moratorium : NCLT will order a Moratorium period for Corrective
Action and all the beneficiaries will agree for holding on operation
during this period and stand still for any proceedings against the
company
Appointment of Resolution Professional : All the creditors will
form a credit committee who will appoint a Resoulution
professional who will act as agent of the credit committee and take
over the management charge from the company’s present
promoters.
Credit Committee and Revival Plan : All the creditors of the
company will form a credit committee where financial creditors
would be having voting power but operational creditor will not be
having any voting power. The committee will work on revival plan
and instruct the Resolution professional to act accordingly .
Liquidation ( 2nd stage of Bankruptcy)
Under the Code, a corporate debtor may be put into liquidation in the
following scenarios:
(i) A 75% majority of the creditor's committee resolves to liquidate the
corporate debtor at any time during the insolvency resolution process;
(ii) The creditor's committee does not approve a resolution plan within
180 days (or within the extended 90 days);
(iii) The NCLT rejects the resolution plan submitted to it on technical
grounds; or
(iv) The debtor contravenes the agreed resolution plan and an affected
person makes an application to the NCLT to liquidate the corporate
debtor.
Once the NCLT passes an order of liquidation, a moratorium is
imposed on the pending legal proceedings against the corporate debtor,
and the assets of the debtor (including the proceeds of liquidation) vest
in the liquidation estate.
