About The Course

LCI has brought to you one of its finest courses - IBC - Theory, and Practice and you might want to make the best of this one.

Since the early 1990s emphasis on dealing with tough borrowers has been increasing. Before that, either there were no defaulters or more possibly they could not be surfaced. An international committee, BASEL, guides the member countries to regulate Non Performing Assets. RBI in India, from time to time, revises the regulations to catch up with the guidelines of BASEL.

In 2002 SARFAESI Act came into force to speed up the process of resolution or recovery of loans without a legal court’s intervention, which it has so far very successfully done.

In 2016 Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code has come. This Code helps lenders in many ways including dissociating Corporate borrowers from the management of their companies. Its target is to improve asset quality in Banks.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 was enacted with a view to consolidate and amend the laws relating to reorganization and insolvency resolution of Corporate Bodies, Partnership Firms, and Individuals in a time-bound manner. The main intention behind the Code is to maximize the value of the assets of such persons, promote entrepreneurship, ensure the availability of credit and balance the interest of all the stakeholders including the alteration in the order of priority of the payment of government dues.

This course elucidates the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2013 (Code) and highlights the practicalities of its implementation. The Course is not a mere theoretical study but includes hands-on practical lessons and case studies.
