India to Design Cross-Border Insolvency Regime Under Bill
Imagine a company that does business in different countries.
If it goes bankrupt, figuring out what to do with its assets can be tricky.
India is creating a new system to handle these situations.
The government will be in charge of designing this system, using a UN template and best practices from other countries.
This system will help avoid problems like having to deal with many court cases at once, having assets seized, and dealing with costly delays.
The goal is to make it easier and faster to resolve bankruptcy cases for businesses that operate in multiple countries, making India more attractive for business and improving its global ranking.
The Indian government will design a cross-border insolvency regime under the IBC Amendment Bill 2025.
The framework will be designed by the corporate affairs and law ministries in consultation.
A special NCLT bench is expected to be set up to handle cross-border insolvency proceedings.
This regime aims to avoid parallel proceedings, asset seizures, and delays in resolving bankruptcies.
Experts say a legal framework will improve efficiency and certainty in handling businesses with international operations.
