The interests of banks, financial institutions and other lenders and recovery of loans advanced by them is at the heart of the insolvency framework introduced by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (code). Although the code has been brought into being to protect the interests of the lenders, no lender wants a transaction to enter insolvency proceedings.

There are many provisions in loan agreements that may not protect the lenders’ interest before the insolvency proceedings are initiated. The provisions under existing loan documentation need to be revisited.
