Since its establishment eight years ago, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) has effectively saved 3,171 troubled enterprises and permitted the closure of unviable firms, according to an announcement made on Thursday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. When compared to the less than 3,500 enterprises that experienced stress resolution over a 30-year period under the former Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) regime, this milestone signifies a substantial improvement.
Key Achievements of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC)
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) was introduced, and it has proven to be a crucial tool in reviving faltering businesses and alleviating financial distress. Sitharaman emphasised the following important IBC accomplishments:
- Recovery of Bankrupt Businesses: Over 3,000 struggling businesses have greatly benefited from the IBC’s critical role in their rescue, giving them a lifeline to reorganise and overcome monetary difficulties.
- Sale of Unprofitable Companies: Apart from saving thriving companies, the IBC has enabled the smooth closure of unprofitable ones, averting more financial decline and reducing economic disturbance.
Landmark Legislation Transforming Corporate Insolvency Resolution
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), a historic piece of legislation that has transformed corporate insolvency resolution in India, was highlighted by Sitharaman. Stakeholder confidence has been bolstered by the IBC’s expedited and time-bound resolution process, which has also added to the insolvency framework’s overall effectiveness.
Strides Towards Economic Recovery and Growth

Future Outlook and Continued Reform Efforts

Continuous reform initiatives seek to improve the IBC’s efficacy, expedite bankruptcy procedures, and guarantee prompt resolution of business difficulties.
