04 Jan 2019 Evaluate

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said enacting the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) has helped lenders get Rs 80,000 crore in 66 cases. It is expected that Rs 70,000 crore will be realised by end of current financial year (FY19).

He further said National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had started receiving corporate insolvency cases by the end of 2016 and so far 1,322 cases have been admitted by it. A total of 4,452 cases have been disposed at pre-admission stage and 66 have been resolved after adjudication. 260 cases have been ordered for liquidation. He added that NCLT has become a trusted forum of high credibility.

Besides, he asserted that the increase in conversion of NPAs into standard accounts and decline in new accounts falling in NPA category show a definite improvement in the lending and borrowing behaviour. The early harvest through the IBC process has been extremely satisfactory. It has changed the debtor - creditor relationship. The creditor no longer chases the debtor.
