With prospective buyers of stressed assets challenging the interpretation of clauses in the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in four key areas, the resolution of many of them would depend on the final decisions of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) or through amendments to the IBC by the government.
