flag India approves IBC reforms to speed up insolvency resolution with stricter timelines and new restructuring tools.

flag The Union Cabinet has approved amendments to India’s Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, paving the way for the IBC (Amendment) Bill, 2025 to be introduced in Parliament during the ongoing Budget session. flag The changes, based on a parliamentary committee’s recommendations, aim to speed up insolvency resolution by setting strict timelines, including a three-month deadline for appeals and shorter admission periods. flag New provisions include a creditor-led out-of-court restructuring process, a formal group insolvency framework, and a cross-border insolvency mechanism. flag The reforms also bar resolution professionals from liquidation roles if a rescue fails and lower the voting threshold for pre-packaged insolvency from 66% to 51%. flag The government opted not to apply the “clean slate” principle retroactively. flag The bill is expected to reduce delays, litigation, and improve governance in India’s corporate insolvency system.
