The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2023 (IBC) provides a market mechanism for reorganization and insolvency resolution of corporate persons, partnership firms, and individuals in a time bound manner for maximization of value of assets of such persons, to promote entrepreneurship, availability of credit and balance the interests of all the stakeholders. It is one of the deepest economic reforms in India in recent years. Elucidating its importance, the Hon’ble Prime Minister in his address at the centenary celebrations of the Kirloskar Group on 6th January 2020 observed:
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) is a key pillar of the ecosystem responsible for the implementation of the IBC. It is responsible for the development and regulation of insolvency professionals and other service providers. It regulates various processes, namely, corporate insolvency resolution, corporate liquidation, a fresh start, individual insolvency resolution and individual bankruptcy. It acts as the ‘Authority’ for the regulation and development of the profession of valuers.
