Archisha Kashyap & Muktha Bhat
ABSTRACT
The Indian insolvency framework has seen a more doctrinal transition from being a debtor-in-possession paradigm to a more creditor in control regime. This transformation involves certain circumstances wherein the committee of creditors (CoC) are vested with a rather commercial version of wisdom that involves skillsets such as evaluation and approval of the resolutions created on the basis of the admittance of claims within the premises of the prescribed timeframe under which the insolvency and bankruptcy code of 2016 functions.
This paper, in particular, studies the admission of new or rather belated claims that are subsequent to the Committee of Creditors approval that is reconcilable with the code and its underlying motive wherefore it emphasizes on the time bound resolution, the procedural finality along with the clean slate doctrine.
The inquiry ought to be undertaken against the backdrop of the insolvency and bankruptcy (Amendment) Act of 2026 which poses as the legislative solution to the judicially created uncertainties that concerns itself with the mandatory admission of applications, the statutory dues as provided for in the statutory waterfall provision and further introduces the creditor-initiated insolvency resolution process. This paper further delineates the admission threshold along with the demarcation along the resolution and recovery as well as the treatment of corporate guarantees and lastly the resolution-applicant eligibility parallelly with the insolvency and bankruptcy board of India’s contemporary proposal for amendments to the CIRP regulations that govern the claim verification to the finality of the process. Wherefore this study aims to contend that the structured adherence to statutory timelines remains indispensable to the preserving of the creditor confidence and the value of the enterprise.
