      Insolvency And Bankruptcy Code
           A Bankruptcy Law Reforms Committee was set up in 2014 for providing an entrepreneur
      friendly legal bankruptcy framework for meeting global standards for improving the ease of
      doing business with necessary judicial capacity. Accordingly, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
      Code, 2016 (IBC) became operational in 2016. The Code aims to promote entrepreneurship,
      availability of credit, and balance the interests of all the stakeholders by consolidating and
      amending the laws relating to reorganization and insolvency resolution of corporate persons,
      partnership firms and individuals in a time bound manner and for maximization of value of the
      assets of such persons and matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It proposes a
      framework to ensure: early detection of stress in a business; initiation of the insolvency
      resolution process by debtor, financial creditor or operational creditor; liquidation of unviable
      businesses; and avoiding destruction of value of failed business. The Ministry of Corporate
      Affairs is taking further necessary steps for implementation of the Code.

           Given the enormity of the investment requirements and the limited availability of public
