Ordinance to suspend initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process
 
The President of India has promulgated the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Ordinance 2020.
 
As per the Ordinance, COVID-19 pandemic has impacted business, financial markets and economy and created uncertainty and stress for business. Further the Ordinance acknowledges that due to the nation wide lockdown has also disrupted  the normal business operation.
 
As a result a need was felt to  suspend under sections 7, 9 and 10 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 to prevent corporate persons which are experiencing distress on account of unprecedented situation, being pushed into insolvency proceedings under the said Code for some time.
