IIBF Resolution of Stressed Assets Study Tips from Top Performers

1Understand the key difference between Financial Creditor (FC - Section 7) and Operational Creditor (OC - Section 9). Remember that OCs must serve a Section 8 demand notice before filing.
2Memorize the mandatory CIRP timelines: it must be completed within 180 days, with a possible one-time extension of 90 days, but the maximum overall period including litigation must not exceed 330 days.
3Understand the voting thresholds in the Committee of Creditors (CoC): 51% for routine administrative decisions, 66% for critical decisions (like RP appointment, CIRP extension, or resolution plan approval), and 90% for withdrawal of application (Section 12A).
4Carefully study the Waterfall Mechanism under Section 53. Know the exact priority of distribution: Insolvency resolution process costs first, followed equally by secured creditors (who relinquished security) and workmen dues (for 24 months preceding liquidation date), then employee wages, financial debts of unsecured creditors, and so on.
5Be clear on the trigger thresholds. Under Section 4 of the IBC, the minimum default threshold for initiating CIRP is ₹1 crore (increased from ₹1 lakh in 2020).
