👉 RCom CoC to vote on resolution plan today - RCom was referred to the NCLT in May last year after an offer from Reliance Jio to buy its assets did not find favour with the creditors
The Committee of Creditors (CoC), tasked with finding buyers for the Anil Ambani-promoted Reliance Communications (RCom) and its two companies, will vote on a resolution plan today
the Resolution Professional (RP) will submit the final plan to the Mumbai Bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on March 5, 2020, sources close to development had told BusinessLine.
The consortium of 38 lenders is hoping to recover a substantial portion of the secured debt worth ₹33,000 crore from the process.

👉 Insolvency regulator moots rule change to replace Authorised Representative - 
Plans are also afoot to provide for simultaneous voting on two or more qualifying resolution plans
A class of creditors may soon be allowed to seek an alternate ‘Authorised Representative’ (AR) to represent their claims and deal with their grievances if they are not satisfied with the performance of their present AR.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) proposes to amend the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) to enable the creditors in a class to replace an AR with 66 per cent of voting power of the class, similar to the replacement of a Resolution Professional (RP) in a CIRP. The insolvency regulator has sought public comments on this through a discussion paper.
Currently, there is no explicit provision for the replacement of an AR once he/she is appointed by the Adjudicating Authority.
