10 Years of IBC: Has India finally built a credible exit mechanism?
Today’s analysis decodes one of India’s most important structural economic reforms — the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
📌 Why does “exit” matter in an economy?
Because productive economies don’t just create firms — they also enable inefficient firms to exit so that capital, labour, and resources move to better uses.
Today’s key takeaways:
✅ Why IBC marked a paradigm shift in India’s credit market
✅ The pre-IBC “zombie firm” problem
✅ Successes of the IBC in banking and corporate restructuring
✅ Institutional bottlenecks and delays in resolution
✅ The road ahead for IBC 2.0
🎯 For IES aspirants, this topic connects directly with:
✔️ Indian Economy
✔️ Financial Sector Reforms
✔️ Banking & NPA Crisis
✔️ Institutional Economics
✔️ Ease of Doing Business

Today's analysis of "Poverty, a Persistent Concern" explores one of the most important debates in development economics: the difference between poverty reduction and poverty eradication.
🔍 Key Insights for IES Aspirants:
✅ Official estimates suggest poverty has fallen sharply in recent years.
✅ Yet, when adjusted for contemporary consumption patterns, nearly 26.8% of Indians (374 million people) may still live below the poverty line.
✅ Poverty remains heavily concentrated in a few states, with 80% of India's poor residing in just 10 states.
✅ The deepest pockets of deprivation continue to be found in regions dependent on subsistence agriculture and mineral-based economies.
✅ Sustainable poverty reduction requires more than welfare transfers—it demands human capital development, productive employment, agricultural transformation, and region-specific interventions.
At RK Economics, we help aspirants move beyond facts and figures to develop the analytical depth required for the Indian Economic Service Examination.
