The Code is an important piece of legislation aiming at resolution of insolvency to benefit the stakeholders. However, the working of the Code is not as smooth as contemplated at the beginning. Several issues and challenges have cropped up in the implementation of the provisions of the Code during the period of eight years from the date of its implementation. Some of these issues have been resolved through amendments whereas many issues still exist and are plaguing the working of the Code.
