Corporate Debt Restructuring process of Sapient Services
Corporate debt restructuring (CDR) is a process that enables companies to manage their debt obligations more effectively. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced the CDR process in 2011 to help banks improve their financial health. This process allows banks to review their asset quality and balance sheet performance over a period of three years and decide whether to restructure their loans or not. In this article, we will explore the Corporate debt restructuring process, the terms used to describe it, and the current economic scenario in India.
The CDR Process
The CDR process involves five steps. The first step is the submission of a formal request for a credit review mechanism (CRM) by an entity to its bank or financial institution. This is called a “pre-proposal” or “formal application.” The second step involves the CRM cell at RBI reviewing the pre-proposal before issuing final approval under two conditions: (i) if there are no grounds for rejection in respect of any material aspect, and (ii) if it does not produce any adverse impact on public interest.
The third step involves the terms used to describe corporate debt restructuring. These include debt reduction, debt conversion, and debt exchange. Debt reduction involves a decrease in the principal amount of loans or interest rates on existing loans. Debt conversion involves a change from one type of mortgage or loan into another type, such as from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate one. Debt exchange means exchanging one form of debt for another–for example, converting $100 worth of credit card debt into $100 worth of personal loans through a negotiated deal between two parties who want each other’s services to solve their financial problems at no additional expense.
The fourth step is the current economic scenario in India. The country is experiencing a financial crisis due to fraud and mismanagement. This has led to a drop in prices on global markets, affecting many companies’ ability to pay their debts. As a result, many corporations have entered bankruptcy proceedings or restructured their debt obligations, resulting in a reduction in corporate debt levels but not their complete elimination.
The fifth step is the CDR mechanism itself. CDR is a voluntary process that can be initiated by either the company or its creditors. While Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (IBC) provides for insolvency proceedings, CDR falls under Chapter 11 of IBC. CDR offers companies an opportunity to restructure their debt and save themselves from financial distress. It also allows them to continue operating while they resolve their financial problems through bankruptcy proceedings.
Corporate Debt Restructuring
Corporate debt restructuring is a process that companies can use to reduce their debt load and improve their financial position. Debt restructuring involves a company agreeing to repay its creditors in full or in part.
This may involve extending the length of time required for repayment, reducing the principal amount due on outstanding loans, or forgiving interest payments owed to lenders over time — called “debt relief.”
The term “restructuring” refers specifically to this type of agreement between borrower and lender. Other forms of restructuring include workouts (involving employee buyouts) and forgiveness programs for individuals who have defaulted on loans taken out by banks or other financial institutions.
