Abstract	The enforcement of security interests by secured creditors in insolvency proceedings represents a crucial intersection of creditor’s rights, corporate restructuring, and debt recovery mechanisms. Secured creditors are generally afforded priority in insolvency frameworks, but their ability to enforce security interests is often constrained by statutory moratoriums, debtor protection principles, and the overarching objective of value maximization for all stakeholders. This paper examines the legal and practical challenges faced by secured creditors in exercising enforcement rights during insolvency, particularly under regimes such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, and other global frameworks. Key issues include conflicts between secured creditors and resolution professionals, valuation of security assets, delays in resolution processes, and the balance between individual enforcement rights and collective insolvency goals. At the same time, opportunities exist through innovative restructuring mechanisms, asset reconstruction companies, cross-border co-ordination, and digital enforcement platforms that can improve recovery prospects. By analyzing judicial precedents, regulatory frameworks, and comparative international practices, the discussion highlights how striking the right balance between creditor autonomy and collective resolution objectives can enhance the efficiency and fairness of insolvency proceedings. The study suggests that strengthening institutional capacity, ensuring transparency in asset valuations, and harmonizing laws across jurisdictions can significantly improve outcomes for secured creditors while preserving the interests of other stakeholders.
