This overall resolution estimate of 62% is double the average recovery of 31% under IBC1.

it has been a long time since it started .These kind of frauds take such a long time to address and small investors are always at the receiving end and lawyers /coc and big creditors take majority of the chunk and small investors get very little amount.Something needs to be done to address this in the IBC.
