Abstract:
This research paper will zero in on Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code’2016 and its
implications on the Indian Economy, its affected counterparts. This research will
focus upon how the markets scenario was before the implementation of IBC and
its effect on the market scenario after the implementation of IBC.
Before IBC:
5) Bankruptcy law was there, but even though the company is going in losses,
there was no arrangement to pay back the money, no strict mechanism to cope
with the wilful defaulters.
These points will be contrasted with the current scenario after the implementation
of the law with the help of data collected from various sources like datasets
available online ,through already conducted researches and empirical researches.
The following points will be covered and the following after effects will be taken
into light:
2) How has it affected the overall ratings of Indian securities in the market
Review of Literature
The legal framework for insolvency resolution in India went through some structural
changes when the IBC was enacted through a bill in parliament in May2016.
Post IBC, various new institutions had to be set up in the ecosystem for proper
functioning of the code:
1) Insolvency Professionals(IPs)
Financial debt is debt, along with any interest, which is disbursed against the
consideration for the time value of money.
About half the financial creditors who filed the insolvency petitions were secured
creditors. But only one of the operational creditors who filed an insolvency petition
was a secured creditor.
1) The absence of basic information about case hinders the ability of the NCLT to
monitor the efficiency of its own benches
Empirical Research:
Empirical researches suggest that the economies that did not undertake such
reforms/codes have often resulted in ending up in weak or fractured credit
markets
Some argue that bankruptcy policy cannot be firmly rooted in reality until empirical
evidence about bankruptcy gathered widely and routinely. (Sullivan, Warren and
Westbrook)
Comparative analysis:
Before IBC, India was considered a country with greater debtor rights. In creditors,
remedies were there but only restricted to unsecured and operational creditors.
1) Civil Suit
2) Arbitration
2) Arbitration is expensive
The following table shows filed, admitted, and dismissed cases post
enactment of IBC and cases filed by Operational Creditors.
The table 1 shows that there have been significant operational creditors, few
financial creditors and some of debtors who have filed the petition in a short
period and this shows the need of this code.
The year 2017-18 was seen as year of evolution for Indian Banking System.
Reasons are as follows:
Among the point which facilitated the money supply the most was the
implementation of IBC 2016 as creditors are now more relieved about the recovery
of loans with more autonomy granted to them for recovery and management of
bad loans.
The framework adopted by RBI with IBC as a pivoting organisation has changed
the regime and the game for the creditors and the borrowers as an environment is
created in which maximum value can be realised from troubled assets bolstered
with early identification of early stages of stress or inability to pay back.
So far, the framework is encouraging and has definitely facilitated the recovery
process as compared to earlier mechanisms like SARFAESI Act, etc.
But, this has led to a lot many liquidation cases too, but theses are due to pending
dues and issues. With IBC giving more power to the creditors, this framework is
and will enable speeder, impartial and more efficient system of recovery than ever
before.
News Article:

Article Name: ‘PSB recapitalisation and resolution of stressed assets under IBC to
improve bank credit offtake’
With increase in money supply it will directly increase investment and aggregate
demand in the economy and have a multifold effect.
On 20th February GOI had approved 48,239 crore capital infusion into 12 PSBs,
RBI reduced repo rate by 25 base points.
Reports suggest that YoY growth has also increased form 11% in 2018 to 14.4%
in 2019.
Credit growth to Industry has also increased to 15.2 percent in Feb 2019 from 4%
in Feb 2018 from negative rates before 2017. However, credit to agriculture sector
is still moderated at 7.90% in Feb 2019 from 12.8% in Feb 2018.
For 701 cases admitted under NCLT, claims admitted on 21 accounts for an
amount of Rs 99 Billion, Rs 49 Billion has been recovered, which is approximately
50% of the money has been recovered.
Hypotheses Testing
Hypothesis :
H0: IBC increases the amount creditors are willing to give credit to Indian
companies/firms
Data showing improvement in credit lending in capital market and real estate
market before and after implementation of IBC.
In the year 2016-17, we can clearly see that percentage variation is of 12.7% in
PSBs lending which is a big leap from the last year as seen in the table and even
private sector banks lending by 3.4%, foreign banks lending by 23.3% and
Scheduled Commercial Banks lending has gone up by 8.8% in the capital market.
This shows that now banks are more willing to give credit in the capital market
after the implementation of IBC in May 2016.
In the year 2017-18, now keeping public banks aside due to higher NPAs in that
phase due to more disclosures about the insolvent positions of firms due to IBC,
private sector banks showed a phenomenal increase by 22.8% in the year
following the implementation of IBC, this definitely increases the confidence of
banks to lend money in the credit market. Let alone capital market, real estate saw
an increase by 20% and commodities saw in increase of 21% in the year 2017-18
by the private banks.
Here, although foreign banks have shown negative percentage variation, that is
due to the news of NPAs in India widespread in the World Economy.
Conclusions:
Going through the literature about IBC and data supporting the insight that IBC’s
implementation can increase the credit lending to the Capital Market and Real
Estate Market, we can see an increase in the amount of credit advances in the
Capital Market.
Moreover research can even be conducted on the infant bond market and debt in
India as to how it will change the debt market dynamics with IBC’s strong hold, its
robust model and functioning and will new innovations in the debt market can take
place with IBC coming in handy.
