Highlighting the government’s major structural reforms, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that the world of crony capitalism in India will come to an end with the introduction of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). He acknowledged that there are some teething problems as IBC is a new law and is still at a nascent stage, but it would mature in the coming days.
Kant has stated that earlier one could borrow money from banks and not repay. Now, if one does not repay, he/she loses the business empire. He pointed out that one after another, the businesses are losing their empire because it is going to NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) and NCLT is later bailing them out. Besides, he said that there had been questions on IBC as it had failed to achieve time bound completion of the resolution process on major NPA accounts released by the Reserve Bank of India. He noted that IBC had mandated 270 days time-bound resolution or send to liquidation but due to various litigations, there had been delays.
Adding further, Niti Aayog CEO has said that banks are going bust due to NPA and government has to bring in some discipline as it is public money. He also said that one of the key constraints of having high GDP growth is the old outdated institutions in the country which need to be 'radically restructured'. He said “You can’t get into 9-10 percent economic growth till you don’t restructure many of the institutions.”
