Rajya Sabha on Wednesday passed the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2026, after Lok Sabha cleared it on Monday.
The IBC was enacted in 2016 to create a time-bound mechanism to deal with companies that default on their loans — by reviving them through resolution or liquidating them if resolution is not possible.
The amendment seeks to speed up the resolution process and introduces provisions for an out-of-court mechanism, group insolvency and cross-border insolvency.
