India's ranking in the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Index improved by another 14 places to 63 in 2019 thanks to a sharp improvement in its ranking in resolving insolvency, one of the seven indicators used to build the index.
In resolving insolvency, India's ranking jumped from 108 in 2018 to 52 in 2019. The credit for this goes to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which came into force in 2016. Between 2016 to 2019, 21,000 cases were referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), the adjudicating authority under the IBC. Out of 21,000 cases, 10,000 have been settled -- 8,500 cases settled prior to admission and 1,500 cases were settled through resolution or liquidation. The rest of the cases are at different stages of insolvency.
Before IBC, the recovery (of debt) rate was around 26% and the time taken for closure of the case was over four years. IBC has changed this. Now the average recovery rate is 43% in case of financial creditors and 49% in case of operational creditors. The time average time taken under IBC is 1.6 years compared to 4.3 years earlier. In the earlier resolution regime, the cost of the resolution was 9%, which has come down to 1% post IBC.
