Study urges legal reforms for efficient real estate IBC cases

A recent study emphasises the urgent need for legal reforms to improve the efficiency of resolving real estate cases under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The current legal framework, according to the study, falls short in addressing the complexities unique to the real estate sector, leading to prolonged litigation and delayed resolutions.

The study points out that real estate projects typically involve a multitude of stakeholders, such as homebuyers, lenders, and developers, each with different and often conflicting interests. This complexity makes the resolution process under the IBC particularly challenging, resulting in lengthy legal proceedings and project delays. To address these issues, the study suggests specific legal reforms.

Among the key recommendations are the creation of specialised tribunals dedicated to handling real estate insolvency cases and amendments to the IBC that prioritise the interests of homebuyers. Enhanced dispute resolution mechanisms are also proposed to make the process more transparent and efficient. These changes aim to ensure fair and timely resolutions that protect the interests of all parties involved.

The study also highlights the importance of recognizing homebuyers as financial creditors under the IBC. This recognition would expedite project completions and safeguard the investments of individual buyers. Additionally, the study calls for better coordination between regulatory bodies and the judiciary to avoid jurisdictional conflicts and streamline case management.

In summary, the study underscores the critical need for targeted legal reforms tailored to the real estate sector within the insolvency framework. Implementing these measures could significantly enhance the resolution of real estate insolvency cases, benefiting stakeholders and contributing to the sector's stability and growth.
