Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code Ready Reckoner

Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code Ready Reckoner is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference work that presents the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC) as a complete insolvency resolution and economic revival framework, rather than a mere debt recovery statute. Designed in the nature of a ready reckoner, this publication explains the law as it operates in practice—covering corporate insolvency resolution, pre-packaged insolvency, liquidation, individual and partnership bankruptcy, adjudication, appeals, and enforcement—within a single, integrated volume. The 2026 Edition reflects the law as updated, incorporating legislative amendments, regulatory developments, and evolving judicial interpretation. The book follows the actual lifecycle of insolvency proceedings, enabling professionals to move seamlessly from default and initiation, through resolution or liquidation, to distribution, dissolution, and appellate remedies. Its structured, paragraph-numbered format makes it an indispensable desk reference for practical insolvency work.

This book is intended for the following audience:

• Insolvency Professionals (IRPs, RPs, Liquidators, IPEs) handling CIRP, PPIRP, liquidation, claims, distributions, and regulatory compliance
• Advocates and Insolvency Litigators practising before NCLT, NCLAT, and higher courts
• Banks, Financial Institutions, ARCs, and Credit Teams involved in insolvency initiation, CoC participation, resolution planning, and enforcement strategy
• Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost Accountants, and Registered Valuers supporting insolvency, restructuring, and valuation assignments
• Corporate Management, In-house Legal, and Compliance Teams dealing with financial distress, restructuring, or voluntary exit
• Academicians, Researchers, and Advanced Students seeking a structured, practice-aligned understanding of the IBC ecosystem
