As of December 2022, 611 CIRPs have resulted in resolution, where the creditors have recovered 30.40 per cent of their admitted claims, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, Rao Inderjit Singh told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply to a question seeking to know the number of companies which have utilized the provisions of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 since it came into force. On a question whether there is a delay in the completion of the process within stipulated time, he said that the average time taken (after excluding the time excluded by the Adjudicating Authority) for resolution of the 611 resolved cases is 482 days.
