Detailed Summary

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) issued a notification on June 1, 2026, introducing the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Information Utilities) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026. These regulations, enacted under sections 196, 210, 213, 214, 215 read with section 240 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016), amend the principal Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Information Utilities) Regulations, 2017. Key amendments include replacing references to 'Form A/B/C/D of the Schedule' with 'such format as notified by the Board through circular' across various regulations (2, 4, 5, 20, 21, 21A, and 27). A new clause (1b) is inserted in regulation 2(1) defining 'Information of dispute' as 'the status of authentication of default issued in such format as notified by the Board through circular', and clause (p) is omitted. An explanation is added to regulation 2(2) clarifying that 'debtor' includes 'corporate debtor'. Regulation 15(3)(ba) is amended to include 'issuance of information of dispute'. Regulation 21 is substantially revised: sub-clause (iii)(A) of regulation 21(2)(c) now specifies 'financial institution as defined in clause (14) of section 3 of the Code' for financial creditors, and sub-regulation (3) is replaced with a table detailing that information utilities shall record the status of authentication as 'Authenticated' for confirmed defaults or non-responsive debtors (issuing a 'Record of Default') and 'Disputed' for disputed information (issuing 'Information of Dispute'). A proviso to regulation 21(3) specifies that for financial institutions, if a debtor disputes only a part of the default amount or non-financial information, the undisputed amount is recorded as 'authenticated'. Regulation 21(4) is modified to remove references to specific colours and to allow for a record of default or information of dispute in a Board-notified format. Regulation 21A's heading and sub-regulations are amended to include 'information of dispute' and replace 'banks included in the second schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934' with 'financial institutions as defined in clause (14) of section 3 of the Code'. Finally, the entire 'SCHEDULE' after regulation 42 of the principal regulations is omitted. The principal regulations were originally published vide notification No. IBBI/2016-17/GN/REG009 dated March 31, 2017, and last amended by notification No. IBBI/2024-25/GN/REG114 dated August 13, 2024.
