IBBI proposes mediation for operational creditors before filing insolvency

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has proposed a voluntary mediation mechanism for operational creditors before filing insolvency applications under the IBC norms. The proposal aims to reduce the burden on the Adjudicating Authority (AA), thereby expediting admissions. The recommendation is based on an expert committee report and subsequent suggestions by the Indian Institute of Insolvency Professionals of ICAI (IIIPI). In a discussion paper released on Monday, the insolvency board proposed to introduce mediation as a preliminary step, providing operational creditors an avenue to settle disputes with corporate debtors over matters like contractual disagreements, quality issues, underpayment claims, and set-off demands. The insolvency board noted that in most of the operational creditors-initiated insolvency cases, they are more interested in repayment of money claims rather than admission or resolution of the corporate debtor. According to IBBI, as of April 2024,

Banks struggling to mobilise large deposits; C-D ratio rises to 80%: Report

Banks struggled to mobilise large deposits to meet the increasing credit demand in the last two financial years, a report said. Outstanding credit disbursed by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) was at the highest level in 2023-24 amounting to Rs 1,64,98,006 crore, whereas in percentage terms, the growth of Credit-to-Deposit(C-D) ratio rose from 75.8 per cent to 80.3 per cent, Infomerics Ratings said in a report. According to the RBI April 2024 Bulletin, during March 2024, the incremental Credit-Deposit Ratio(ICDR) remained around 95.94 per cent, whereas on March 8, 2024 this was at 92.95 per cent. It may be observed that there was a much higher growth of credit of the SCBs compared to the growth of deposits, even as per the Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ) basis, it said. The growth of credit outpaced the growth of deposits during the period FY'19 to FY'24. Alternative investments and substantial cash holdings in the unorganized sector slowed deposit accumulation, particularly in rural ar

India Inc seeking Rs 5 trillion credit to fund capex: SBI Chairman Khara

State Bank of India Chairman Dinesh Kumar Khara has said there is a growing demand for credit from the corporate sector and loans worth Rs 5 lakh crore are in the pipeline. Unlike the past few years, when the corporates had sufficient cash surplus on their balance sheet, they have started looking for credit to fund working capital requirements and capacity expansion, he told PTI in an interview. "Now we have come to a stage where they (corporates) have started approaching banks for augmenting their capacity or for working capital purposes. Of course, this I can say with confidence because when we look at our unavailed term loan percentage, it has come down from 25 per cent to 18 per cent and when we see the working capital utilisation, even that has improved," he said. So, all these are confirming that private sector opportunities are going to be there and SBI will be in a position to create value for the sector, he said. At the same time, he said, "When we look at our pipeline for
