He was speaking at a two-day conference, organised by the Indian Institute of Insolvency Professionals of ICAI (IIIPI), that began on Saturday. "Unsustainable debt is a symptom of fundamental issues in the business model of the concerned company.

"In case if you don't have a viable resolution plan, we (banks) have a viable resolution plan under IBC," Basu said.
