For this, they will consider suggestions from public and regulated entities. Time limits to decide the applications under various regulations will also be laid down.”
In view of the same, IBBI has invited suggestions/comments from public and regulated entities on the Regulations under IBC for simplifying, easing and reducing cost of compliance.
