Missed timelines, manpower crunch pose challenges for insolvency resolution

Resolution of most of the stressed assets under the insolvency law missed their timelines amid a shortage of staff at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the appellate tribunal this year, which also saw aviation players seeking solace in insolvency provisions albeit without much success. As the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) timelines stretched well beyond their specified limits, the companies undergoing the resolution process saw an erosion in the value of their assets. As of September this year, creditors have realised Rs 3.16 lakh crore by way of resolutions under the IBC since it came into force in December 2016, as per data from the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI). In 2024, NCLT and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) are expected to conclude important Corporate Insolvency Resolution Processes (CIRPs), including that of Future Retail, Go First and Reliance Capital. The latest data showed that 67 per cent of the ongoing CIRPs misse

A two-member Delhi-based NCLT bench rejected the plea moved by US-based Willis Lease Finance Corporation after SpiceJet questioned the maintainability of the petition.

During a hearing in July this year, the NCLT bench wanted to know from Willis Lease Finance Corp, as to how it filed a fresh petition again for a similar cause of action within a few months, without even sending a notice to SpiceJet as per the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
