Govt Contemplates Abandoning Special Insolvency Framework for Real Estate

In a potential restructuring of the regulatory framework, the Central Government is contemplating the abandonment of the specialised Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) framework crafted for the real estate sector. This reconsideration reflects a possible overhaul in how the government approaches insolvency matters within the real estate industry. The dedicated IBC framework for the real estate sector was formulated to address the unique challenges and complexities of insolvency cases in the realty domain. However, recent evaluations and feedback have prompted the government to reassess the effectiveness and feasibility of this specialised approach. The proposed shift is part of a broader review aimed at enhancing the efficiency and adaptability of insolvency proceedings in the real estate sector. If implemented, the move could bring the real estate industry under the purview of the standard IBC framework, aligning it with other sectors and streamlining the insolvency resolution process. This potential change underscores the government's commitment to refining regulatory mechanisms to better suit the evolving dynamics of the real estate sector. The decision, once finalised, will likely have implications for stakeholders involved in insolvency cases within the real estate industry.
