IBBI enacts stricter norms for approval process of resolution plans

08 Nov 2017 Evaluate

With a view to ensure the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process results in a credible and viable Resolution Plan, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has enacted stricter norms for the approval process of resolution plans submitted under the insolvency law. The amended rules now require an applicant’s antecedents and credit worthiness to be checked. The amendments in the corporate person’s resolution process come in the wake of a rising number of cases filed under the insolvency law and subsequent concerns in certain quarters on whether the promoter of a company can submit a resolution plan.

The amendments make clear that promoters can submit a resolution plan, provided they are subjected to strict disclosure requirements - the antecedents, credit worthiness and credibility of a resolution applicant, including promoters will now be considered by the committee of creditors. The rules now make it incumbent upon the resolution professional to ensure that the plan presented contains relevant details to assess credibility of the resolution applicants. The resolution applicants' details in terms of convictions, disqualifications, criminal proceedings, categorisation as wilful defaulter as per RBI guidelines, debarment imposed by SEBI, if any, would have to be disclosed. Information about any transaction with the corporate debtor in the last two years should also be furnished.

Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which is implemented by the IBBI, any resolution plan has to be cleared by the committee of creditors. The resolution process is to be completed within 180 days and the deadline could be extended. Once an application is admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Code, then an insolvency resolution professional is appointed who would take care of the company concerned during the whole process.
