"Pre-packaged insolvency resolutions scheme allows creditors and shareholders to approach bankruptcy courts with a pre-negotiated corporate organisation", said sources.

The government had constituted insolvency law panel under the chairmanship of MCA secretary in March 2019 to analyse the functioning and implementation of the code, identifying the issues impacting the efficiency of the insolvency resolution and liquidation framework for corporates, individual partnership firms under the code and make suitable recommendations to address the issues.
