Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 CONTOURS OF SECTION 29A

Among its various provisions, Section 29A of the IBC has emerged as a pivotal tool in maintaining the integrity and credibility of the insolvency process. Here I would delve into the contours of Section 29A in the light of significant judgments delivered by the Supreme Court of India.

Understanding Section 29A

Section 29A of the IBC sets forth the eligibility criteria for individuals and entities seeking to participate in the insolvency resolution process. The key elements of this provision can be summarized as follows:

Disqualifications: Section 29A enlists various disqualifications that render an applicant ineligible to be a resolution applicant. Some of the disqualifications include: Undischarged insolvents, Wilful defaulters, Persons convicted of certain offenses, Promoters or management of companies with outstanding non-performing assets and Persons disqualified by relevant authorities.

Related Parties: The provision also extends the disqualifications to related parties of the ineligible entities, preventing them from indirectly participating in the resolution process.

Clean Slate Requirement: Section 29A mandates that resolution applicants must not have been convicted of any offense punishable with imprisonment for two or more years unless they have received a pardon or the conviction has been reversed.

Do You Know? Now Google Search Results Are Dictated By A Political Doctrine

Google has become the tip of the spear in the management of the public mind. Google search results are dictated by a political doctrine that you are supposed to hold. The algorithms overwhelmingly favor approved talking points, even if false, with a vast and hugely influential machine now serving one political interest and dictated by one agenda. Search is no longer reliably informative of what's actually out there. "I'll Google that," once meant to get a wide range of wants you to believe. Jeffrey A.

Gold: An Excellent Diversification

Gold is priced in dollars. Inflation means the dollar is worth less in terms of purchasing power. That means it takes more dollars to buy gold, so the dollar price of gold goes up. What you may lose in the rest of your portfolio in terms of dollar purchasing power is made up in part or all from the profits you make on the higher dollar price of gold. James Rickards says owning gold will protect you from the ravages of inflation. You’ll have your inflation protection in place 24/7 and won’t be caught off-guard.
