Insolvency Code Section 22: Creditors Decide on Resolution Professional by 66% Vote in First Meeting
The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under Section 22 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) involves appointing a resolution professional. The committee of creditors must hold its first meeting within seven days of its constitution to decide, by a 66% majority, whether to continue with the interim resolution professional or appoint a new one. This decision requires written consent from the chosen professional and must be communicated to relevant parties. If the board does not confirm the proposed professional within ten days, the interim professional continues until confirmation. Case laws highlight the process and emphasize the committee's commercial wisdom in decision-making.
