WHAT IS IBC?

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (referred as IBC) which is considered as the biggest insolvency reform, is a central Act enacted for reorganization and insolvency resolution of corporate persons, partnership firms and individuals in a time bound manner for maximization of the value of assets of such persons.

IBC was enacted and came into force w.e.f. 28th May 2016, however, some of the sections were made effective on various dates to implement in a systematic manner. Some of the parts have not even been notified till date i.e. 01/01/2019 e.g. bankruptcy process for partnership firms and individuals.

IBC HISTORY
 
The era before IBC were having various scattered laws relating to insolvency and bankruptcy which caused inadequate and ineffective results with undue delays. For example

# SARFAESI – (Securitization and reconstruction of financial assets and enforcement of security interest) Act for security enforcement,
# RDDBFI (Recovery of debt due to banks and financial institutions) for debt recovery by banks and financial institutions,
# Companies Act for liquidation and winding up of the company,
# Presidency Towns Insolvency Act and Provincial Insolvency Act for sick-ness and insolvency of partnership firm, HUF & individual

Ineffective implementation, conflict in one of these laws and the time-consuming procedure in the aforementioned laws, made the Bankruptcy Law Reform Committee to draft and introduce Insolvency and Bankruptcy Law bill.
