Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India

In India, the legal and institutional machinery for dealing with debt default has not been in line with global standards. The existing laws either don’t have desired outcomes or are almost century old. This has hampered the confidence of the lender.  Therefore the need was felt to consolidate and amend law relating to insolvency and consequently the Parliament passed Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 

The Code aims to promote entrepreneurship, availability of credit and balance the interest of all the stakeholders and to establish Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India and for matters connected therewith.


Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification dated 5 August, 2016 has made section 188 to 194 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (both inclusive, provisions relate to Establishment/ incorporation/  constitution of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board, Powers of Chairman, Meetings of Board, Vacancies) effective from 5 August, 2016
