12. IBBI Updates {Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India}

Budget 2022 | FM announces plan for strengthening IBC

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while presenting the Union Budget 2022 on February 1 that changes have been proposed in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to enable seamless cross-border insolvency as well as quicker dispute resolution.

She said: "Necessary amendments will be made in the IBC for more efficient dispute resolution and enable cross-border insolvency resolution." The changes will come about six years after the IBC was legislated that promised to institutionalise corporate restructuring through a modern, contemporary mechanism.

The proposed legislative changes, which will likely come through a series of amendments in the existing law, could also include a code of conduct for the committee of creditors (CoC), the group that is empowered to decide on insolvency resolution proposals.

The new rules on IBC related to cross-border insolvency will be broadly framed on the lines of United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (Uncitral). In an increasingly economically interdependent world, the importance of developing and maintaining a robust cross-border legal framework for the facilitation of international trade and investment is widely acknowledged.

To implement its mandate and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information, Uncitral maintains close links with international and regional organisations, both inter-governmental and non-governmental, that are active participants in the work programme of Uncitral and in the field of international trade and commercial law.
