Sick Industrial Companies (special provisions) Act, 1985 & BIFR

INTRODUCTION

In the wake of sickness in the country’s industrial climate prevailing in the eighties, the Government of India set up in 1981, a Committee of Experts under the Chairmanship of Shri T. Tiwari to examine the matter and recommend suitable remedies therefor. Based on the recommendations of the Committee, the Government of India enacted a special legislation namely, the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (1 of 1986) commonly known as the SICA.

OBJECTIVES OF SICA

The main objective of SICA is to determine sickness and expedite the revival of potentially viable units or closure of unviable units (unit herein refers to a Sick Industrial Company). It was expected that by revival, idle investments in sick units will become productive and by closure, the locked up investments in unviable units would get released for productive use elsewhere.

The Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (hereinafter called the Act) was enacted with a view to securing the timely detection of sick and potential sick companies owning industrial undertakings, the speedy determination by a body of experts of the preventive, ameliorative, remedial and other measure which need to be taken with respect to such companies and the expeditious enforcement of the measures so determined and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

FUNCTIONING

It contains special provisions for timely detection of sick and potentially sick industrial companies, speedy determination and enforcement of preventive, remedial and other measures with respect to such companies.
Those measures are to be taken by a body of experts
The measures are mainly

(a) Legal

(b) Financial restructuring

The Board of experts named the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) was set up in January, 1987 and functional with effect from 15th May, 1987. The Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (AAIFR) was constituted in April 1987. Government companies were brought under the purview of SICA in 1991 when extensive changes were made in the Act including, inter-alia, changes in the criteria for determining industrial sickness. ).

BIFR was set up as an apex board to tackle industrial sickness and was entrusted with the work of taking appropriate measures for revival and rehabilitation of potentially sick undertakings and for liquidation of non-viable companies. While, AAIFR was constituted for hearing the appeals against the orders of the BIFR.

APPLICABILITY

SICA applies to companies both in public and private sectors owning industrial undertakings:–

pertaining to industries specified in the First Schedule to the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, (IDR Act) except the industries relating to ships and other vessels drawn by power and;
not being "small scale industrial undertakings or ancillary industrial undertakings" as defined in section 3(j) of the IDR Act.

SICK INDUSTRIAL UNIT

Sick industrial unit is defined as a unit or a company (having been in existence for not less than five years) which is found at the end of any financial year to have incurred accumulated losses equal to or exceeding its entire net worth.

Accordingly, criteria to determine sickness in an industrial company are :–

the accumulated losses of the company to be equal to or more than its net worth; i.e., its paid-up capital plus its free reserves
the company should have completed five years after incorporation under the Companies Act, 1956
it should have 50 or more workers on any day of the 12 months preceding the end of the financial year with reference to which sickness is claimed.
it should have a factory licence.

The net worth is calculated as sum total of paid-up capital and free reserves of a company less the provisions and expenses, as may be prescribed.

POTENTIALLY SICK UNIT

An industrial unit is also regarded as potentially sick or weak unit if at the end of any financial year, it has accumulated losses equal to or exceeding 50 per cent of its average net worth in the immediately preceding four financial years and has failed to repay debts to its creditor(s) in three consecutive quarters on demand made in writing for such repayment.

PROCEDURE IN NUTSHELL

BIFR would make an inquiry as it may deem fit for determining whether any industrial company had become sick, under the following conditions:–

If the Board of Directors of a sick industrial company made a reference to the BIFR for determination of the remedial measures with respect to their company. Such reference was to be made within sixty days from the date of finalisation of the duly audited accounts of the company for the financial year at the end of which the company had become sick. For filing the reference, the Board of Directors must have sufficient reasons to form the opinion that the company had become sick; or
On receiving such information (reference) with respect to a sick company or upon its own knowledge as to the financial condition of a company. Such a reference to the board may be made by:– (i) The Central Government; (ii) The Reserve Bank of India; (iii) State Governments; (iv) Public financial institutions; (v) State level institutions; or (vi) Scheduled banks.

However, such a reference shall not be made in respect of any industrial company by :– (i) the Government of any State, unless all or any of the industrial undertakings (belonging to such a company) were situated in that State; (ii) a public financial institution or a State level institution or a scheduled bank, unless it had, by reason of any financial assistance or obligation rendered by it or undertaken by it, interest in such a company.

The Board may order any Operating Agency to enquire into the matter and complete the inquiry as expeditiously as possible.
If the Board deems it fit to make an inquiry or to cause an inquiry to be made into any industrial company, it may appoint one or more persons as Special Director(s) of the company for safeguarding the financial and other interests of the company. The appointment of a special director shall be valid and effective notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Companies Act, 1956 or in any other law for the time being in force or in the memorandum and articles of association or any other instrument relating to the industrial company.

Any special director so appointed shall :– (i) hold office during the pleasure of the Board and may be removed or substituted by any person by order in writing by the Board; (ii) not incur any obligation or liability by reason only of his being a director or for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith in the discharge of his duties as a director or anything in relation thereto; (iii) not be liable to retirement by rotation and shall not be taken into account for computing the number of directors liable to such retirement; (iv) not be liable to be prosecuted under any law for anything, done or omitted to be done in good faith in the discharge of his duties in relation to the sick industrial company.
If after making an inquiry, the Board is satisfied that the company has become sick, it shall, after considering all the relevant facts and circumstances of the case, may take either of the following decisions:-

– If the Board decides that it is practicable, it shall, by order in writing and subject to such restrictions or conditions as may be specified in the order, give such time to the company as it may deem fit to make its net worth exceed the accumulated losses.

– If the Board decides that it is not practicable for the sick company to make its net worth exceed the accumulated losses within a reasonable time and that it is necessary or expedient in the public interest to adopt all or any of the measures in relation to the said company, it may, as soon as may be, by order in writing, direct any operating agency specified in the order to prepare a scheme providing for such measures in relation to that company. The measures may include:–

The financial reconstruction of the sick industrial company;
The proper management of the sick industrial company by change in or take over of the management of the company;
The amalgamation of the sick industrial company with any other company (transferee company), or any other company with the sick industrial company (transferee company);
The sale or lease of a part or whole of the sick industrial company;
Such other preventive, ameliorative and remedial measures as may be appropriate;
Such incidental, consequential or supplemental measures as may be necessary or expedient in connection with or for the purposes of the measures specified above.

– If the Board is of the opinion that the sick industrial company is not likely to make its net worth exceed the accumulated losses within a reasonable time while meeting all its financial obligations and that the company as a result thereof is not likely to become viable in future and that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up, it may record and forward its opinion to the concerned High Court. The High Court shall, on the basis of the opinion of the Board, order winding-up of the sick industrial company in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.

Where in respect of an industrial company, an inquiry is pending, or any scheme referred is under preparation or consideration or a sanctioned scheme is under implementation, then no proceedings for the winding-up of the industrial company or for execution, distress or the like against any of the properties of the industrial company shall be made. Also, no suit for the recovery of money or for the enforcement of any security against the industrial company or of any guarantee in respect of any loans, or advance granted to the industrial company shall lie or be proceeded with further, except with the consent of the Board or, as the case may be, the Appellate Authority.
Also with respect to the above conditions, the Board may by order declare with respect to the sick industrial company concerned that the operation of all or any of the contracts, assurances of property, agreements, settlements, awards, standing orders or other instruments in force, to which such sick industrial company is a party or which may be applicable to such sick industrial company immediately before the date of such order, shall remain suspended or that all or any of the rights, privileges, obligations and liabilities accruing or arising thereunder before the said date, shall remain suspended or shall be enforceable with such adaptations and in such manner as may be specified by the Board.

However, such declaration shall not be made for a period exceeding two years, which may be extended by one year at a time so that the total period shall not exceed seven years in the aggregate.
Under the Act, whosoever violates its provisions or any scheme or any order of the Board or of the Appellate Authority, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to a fine. No court shall take cognizance of any offence mentioned except on a complaint in writing of the secretary or any such other officer of the Board or the Appellate Authority or any such officer of an operating agency as may be authorised in this behalf by the Board or the Appellate Authority.

Section 22 of SICA provides that legal proceedings against an industrial company – that is, a company that owns a factory wherein it carries on any of the industries specified in the schedule to the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951 – shall remain suspended if an inquiry to determine whether the industrial company is sick is pending before the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), if a scheme for its rehabilitation is being prepared or is under consideration of BIFR, or if an appeal against BIFR’s order is pending.

Parliament, through the Sarfaesi Act, has amended SICA and has inserted a provision whereby a "reference pending" before BIFR shall abate if secured creditors representing three-fourths in value of the amount outstanding against the financial assistance disbursed to the borrower have taken measures to recover their secured debt under section 13(4) of the Sarfaesi Act (as per the process described above).

On a plain reading, it seems the amendment to SICA ensured that there remains no conflict between SICA and the Sarfaesi Act. However, the words "reference is pending", as used in the amendment to SICA, are being utilized by defaulting corporate borrowers to avoid enforcement of security by FIs. The borrowers argue that for FIs to be able to initiate action under the Sarfaesi Act, it is necessary that the reference filed by such borrowers should be pending before BIFR and that such reference does not remain pending once the borrower has been declared a sick industrial company by BIFR.
