Proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code are initiated after receiving the approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Insolvency proceedings have to be completed within 180 days, but can be extended by another 90 days by the Committee of Creditors (CoC).
In the CIRP the CoC invites resolution plans from the applicants, and may select one of these plans.
The Survey said extension of 90-days has been sought in the case of Alok Industries, Amtek Auto, Essar Steel, and Monnet Ispat and Energy, among others.
The time period has been extended in the case of Bhushan Power and Steel, Electrosteel Steels and Jyoti Structure. The CoC has also approved extension of 90 days in case of AGG Shipyard.
