    Solution

    The order of priority during the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation under IBC is as follows:

    1. Insolvency Resolution Process Costs (highest priority)
    2. Secured creditors , including their dues (after they are paid, if there are any remaining funds)
    3. Operational creditors , including employees and workmen (such as wages, unpaid dues)
    4. Unsecured creditors (such as suppliers and bondholders)
    5. Equity shareholders (last in line for payment)
    • Preference shareholders are not prioritized in the liquidation process under the IBC, as they rank after creditors but before equity shareholders .
