Call for Research Papers 2024
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC/Code) stands as a pivotal milestone in the Indian financial landscape, revolutionizing the resolution framework for insolvent entities. The IBC provides for a comprehensive legal framework to address financial distress and promote the timely resolution of stressed assets. It emphasizes a creditor-driven insolvency resolution process, facilitating a transparent and time-bound mechanism for distressed businesses. Over the years, the IBC has earned its place as one of the most significant pieces of legislation in recent times. As the IBC continues to evolve, it becomes imperative to delve deeper into its intricacies, exploring novel perspectives and insights through rigorous research.
Scholars and practitioners engaging in research contribute to the development of best practices, offer solutions to emerging challenges, and unravel the complexities associated with insolvency proceedings. A robust body of research not only informs legal and financial professionals but also empowers policymakers to refine and strengthen the legislative framework. This Conference seeks to be a platform for scholars, researchers, and industry experts to exchange ideas, share cutting-edge research findings, and collectively contribute to the academic discourse surrounding the insolvency and bankruptcy regime.

Topics for the Conference
This Conference is an opportunity to understand the importance and impact of IBC in its totality through the multi-disciplinary research papers. Research that aims to understand the legal, economic, financial, behavioural and management aspects of the IBC are welcomed. A field wise classification of potential research topics under the Indian insolvency and bankruptcy space is indicated in IBBI’s Research Initiative Guidelines available at the website of the IBBI. Several studies maybe inter-disciplinary in nature hence cannot be isolated to fall under a single field of study and researchers are encouraged to explore the interdisciplinary nature as well.
