💡 Solution & Explanation

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India was established under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code of 2016 to regulate professionals, agencies, and utilities engaged in corporate and individual resolution proceedings. It does not replace debt recovery tribunals or buy non-performing assets like an asset reconstruction company. This regulatory body ensures transparency and institutional oversight across the entire corporate insolvency framework in the country.
