1. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Act,
2021
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Act, 2021
("Act") provides for a pre-packaged
insolvency resolution process ("PPIRP")
for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. As provided in the
Statements and Objectives of the Act, the Micro, Small, and Medium
("MSME") Enterprises sector is critical
to the economy considering their significant contribution to our
gross domestic product and generation of employment to a sizeable
population. It has, therefore, been considered necessary to
urgently address the specific requirements of the sector by
providing an efficient and alternative framework under the
Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code ("I&B
Code") for a quicker, cost-effective insolvency
resolution process that is least disruptive to the businesses,
ensuring, among other objectives, job preservation.
