Its no mystery that many startups and small businesses eventually fail. If there is life, there is death; similarly, for every billion-dollar unicorn company, there is a humongous number of startups that have gone onto the other side.

More often than not, startups go bankrupt for reasons that go beyond the viability of their products. In most of the cases, startups fall prey to missteps that ultimately dry up their cash flow.

The top 3 reasons are No market demands the product (42%), shortage of capital (29%) and lack of team enthusiasm or understanding (23%). Other reasons include pricing/cost issues, poor marketing, ignored customers and …

Amritsar/Bathinda/Patiala: The crop loan waiver of Rs 2 lakh may not have been enough to revive the fortunes of most farmers, but a section of them is now eyeing fresh loans to put their derailed financial condition back on track once the government waives their old debts.

Our reputation in banks will automatically improve if government waives our loans. This will mean we have cleared bank loans, and we can again apply for fresh ones, said Darshan Singh, who owns two acres of farm land in Tarsikka.

Singh, who has around Rs 2 lakh as bank loan, is not ready to accept any of his faults in becoming a defaulter. The prices of farm inputs are increasing every year, but farm income has declined; it is the duty of government to give remunerati…

The jury is still out on Section 74 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which details provisions for punishment of company officials who breach the moratorium or terms of the resolution plan approved by the committee of creditors as well as the adjudicating authority. While some experts say that invoking the Section is necessary to retain the seriousness of the corporate insolvency resolution process, others believe such stringent measures could deter bidders.


The code could evolve to a place where such erring bidders would be barred from participating as bidders in resolution plans for other undergoing insolvency, Sumant Batra, an insolvency expert said.

When Santanu T. Ray, a resolution professional, learnt that Conros Steel Pvt. Ltd will have to be liquidated, the first thing he did was to approach the committee of creditors (CoC) and requested all lenders to relinquish control over the companys assets, pledged as collateral for loans.

This control, or charge, as it is commonly called, is the lenders right to sell the underlying asset, if the borrower fails to repay the loan. The requirement to get lenders to sign a letter and give up their claim is just one of the several problems being faced by liquidators appointed under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IB…

The completed restructuring effectively closes the saga of Nobles collapse from Asias biggest commodity trader with a market value of over $6 billion to less than $80 million that began in February 2015 when its accounting practices were questioned by Iceberg Research.
