Abstract
As the law under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 progresses, many
anomalies have surfaced which revolve around the resolution plans, which are
meant for the survival of the corporate debtor. The National Company Law
Appellate Tribunal recently held that it is permissible in law to give the oppor-
tunity to ‘resolution applicants’ for revising their offer before final approval.1
Resolution plans play a key role in the corporate insolvency resolution process;
therefore, the objectives of the author in the present article is, first, to analyse
the importance of resolution plans, second, to examine the law regarding resolu-
tion plans in the Insolvency Code and, in the end, to analyse whether there is
any necessity to maintain secrecy in reference to ‘resolution plans’ or whether
giving a copy of the resolution plans to the corporate debtor will actually help
the corporate debtor in getting necessary information for the health of their
business for its benefit.
