"Pre-packaged insolvency resolutions scheme allows creditors and shareholders to approach bankruptcy courts with a pre-negotiated corporate organisation", said sources.

There have been consistent arguments over the timeline of IBC resolutions and the government has been seeking views on the pitfalls of the law.
