👉 In the year since Jet Airways operated its last flight former employees and creditors have continued to wait for the payment of their dues, even as rivals have swooped in and acquired the airline’s aircraft and routes.
The airline operated its last flight between Amritsar-Mumbai on April 17, 2019, as lenders turned down its demand for emergency funding. The Naresh Goyal-founded airline, among the first private carriers to take to skies in 1993, collapsed under a mountain of debt and a cash crunch.
It has been under insolvency since June last with admitted claims of Rs 16,000 crore. Now, the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) crisis has dashed any prospects of revival.
Before the nationwide lockdown, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) granted an additional three months to the airline’s resolution professional to find a suitor on the grounds that lenders would get better value for their assets if these were sold via a formal resolution plan, instead of the liquidation route.
👉 The COVID-19 crisis has brought into sharp relief an indiscriminate correlation: saving human lives is important, but ensuring livelihoods is equally significant. As the authorities with support from India Inc go about the challenge of saving lives, the current is one of safeguarding the economy. Business organisations need to remain solvent; jobs need to be saved. As the Indian economy faces an unprecedented crisis on account of the Covid19 pandemic, one of the biggest worries for it is that global investors may take over distressed Indian companies at very low-price points, unless bankruptcy and insolvency laws are temporarily suspended. Global investors are waiting for Indian stocks to fall in value so that they can take over listed companies at throwaway prices. We have seen the first such attempt in the last few days. In order to ensure that Indian companies remain Indian-owned, suspension of the NCLT law for at least six months is imperative to salvage the capital erosion. Exceptional measures are required to thwart one of the deepest recessions recorded across the globe.
The Indian economy looks upon the authorities to follow global trends and help pull industry out of the economic maelstrom by instituting a stimulus package that’s at least 10 per cent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). Salvaging the Indian economy requires an urgent booster dose of nearly $200 billion, which needs to be pumped into the market in a staggered manner, effectively retrieving the business cycle without incurring further economic losses. Across sectors, business organisations are seeking working capital to ensure that the economy doesn’t tank, that they don’t default and saddle banks with NPAs, and consequently result in job losses.

👉 The lockdown, occasioned by the spread of the novel coronavirus, is causing significant stress for Indian business. Even though the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has instituted debt moratoriums and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced a slew of relief packages, one expects a significant spike in the number of bankruptcies. Is India’s Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) up to the task of this new normal? While much depends on how things pan out in the next few months, here are some pressing issues:
Insolvency resolution traffic jam: According to Injeti Srinivas, corporate affairs secretary, since the commencement of the IBC and setting up of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), 12,000 cases have been filed. Around 4,500 cases have been settled before resolution, with a settlement amount of almost₹2 trillion. 1,500 cases have been admitted and 6,000 cases are waiting in queue. The covid-19 epidemic will only increase this traffic jam. The pile up of cases needs to be addressed by increasing capacity of the NCLT, and by ensuring that as many cases as possible are settled without going to the IBC.
Changing the locus of the promoter of the corporate debtor: Under section 29A(c) of the IBC, a promoter associated with any account which has been classified as a non-performing asset (NPAs) for a period of one year or more is ineligible to bid for any corporate debtor. It is pertinent to recall that the intent of section 29A is to prevent persons who, by their misconduct or fraudulent motives contributed to the default of the corporate debtor, from “buying back" the corporate debtor from the creditors, potentially at steep discounts.
👉 New Delhi, Apr 15 (PTI) A government-appointed committee of experts has proposed an institutional framework for valuers by way of setting up the National Institute of Valuers.
The panel, headed by IBBI (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India) Chairperson M S Sahoo, has also submitted the ''Draft Valuers Bill, 2020''.
The corporate affairs ministry sought comments on the bill, which has recommended setting up of the institute. The deadline for submitting comments is May 14.
The panel was constituted by the ministry on August 30, 2019 to examine the need for an institutional framework for regulation and development of valuation profession.
"Based on a comprehensive study and analysis of all relevant issues and taking the inputs of key stakeholders, the committee has submitted its report to the Government of India on March 31, 2020 along with Draft Valuers Bill, 2020, recommending to establish a National Institute of Valuers," the ministry said in a release on its website.
According to the committee, there should be enactment of an exclusive statute to provide for the establishment of the institute to protect the interests of users of valuation services in India and to promote the development of, and to regulate the profession of valuers and market for valuation services.
