Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the ⁠International Insolvency Institute⁠’s Global Perspectives podcast, our panelists give a critical look to the recent changes to the Indian insolvency framework.
India updated its Bankruptcy Code in 2016. Our experts panelists, Professor Sumant Batra (President, Insolvency Law Academy) and ⁠⁠Mr Debanshu Mukherjee (co-founder, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, New Delhi), explain some of the peculiarities of the Indian system. These include – but are not limited to – the fact that trade creditors are not allowed to vote on a restructuring plan; that the insolvency regulator oversees not only insolvency practitioners but also the auction process; that there is no direct entry into liquidation; etc.
