IBC Vs. Out-of-Court Resolution: Choosing The Right Path For Funding And Revival

Understanding the Dilemma:

You're in the midst of a financial collapse. Do you expose yourself publicly via IBC or settle it discreetly? It's like broadcasting your family feud on TV vs. settling it quietly in your drawing room.

IBC: The Courtroom Approach

• Timed but drawn-out process (~270+ days) under the IBC insolvency framework.
• Risk of promoter displacement during the formal insolvency resolution process.
• More public scrutiny, less operational flexibility.

Out-of-Court Resolutions: Confidential and Flexible

• Quicker settlements (usually within 90 days) through bilateral loan restructuring.
• Preservation of promoter control and operational continuity.
• Lesser difficulties in funding tie-ups pre-resolution via specialized special situation funding.

Real-World Example: Maharashtra Packaging Firm

Confronted with potential insolvency, this company decided on a strategic One Time Settlement (OTS). They proceeded with interim funding on structured lines, completed a smooth bank loan OTS with the lenders, and resumed business in two months with their ownership fully in place.

Major Considerations Before Selecting:

• Lender's inclination to negotiate a fair OTS settlement
• Asset coverage and valuation potential for stressed asset funding
• Sector growth trends and market demand
• Bridge capital availability and access to a loan for NPA accounts
