Core Purpose

This notification introduces the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, to further amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016.

Detailed Summary

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), exercising powers under section 196(1)(t) read with section 240 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016), issued the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, effective from its publication in the Official Gazette on June 2, 2026. These regulations significantly amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016. Key changes include redefining "committee" as a committee of creditors under section 21, allowing liquidators to call upon committee members for contributions to excess liquidation costs, and stipulating that compromise or arrangement under section 230 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires requisite creditor majority approval and a higher realisable amount than the liquidation value. A new regulation 3A mandates the committee to recommend an insolvency professional for liquidator appointment, requiring a 66% voting share, for the Adjudicating Authority's consideration. Regulation 4 introduces a revised tiered fee structure for liquidators, applicable to processes commencing after these amendments, based on the amount distributed to stakeholders and the duration of liquidation. The regulations also mandate committee approval for various liquidator actions, including the appointment of professionals (regulation 7), private sale of assets (66% voting share), and certain valuations. The role of the committee of creditors is strengthened, continuing throughout the liquidation process, with specific provisions for secured and unsecured creditors and detailed requirements for liquidator reporting and actions requiring committee approval (some requiring 66% voting share). Timelines are revised, notably reducing the claim submission period for new claims to 14 days and the maximum liquidation period to 180 days (from one year). Regulation 21A, concerning relinquishment of security interest, now mandates intimation within 14 days and deems security interest relinquished if not done within 14 days. A new model timeline for the liquidation process, excluding compromise or arrangement under section 230 of the Companies Act, 2013, is provided in regulation 47, outlining tasks and deadlines from the liquidation commencement date (T=0) up to T+180 days for liquidation. Schedule II is omitted, and various forms specified in other regulations are replaced with "such format as notified by the Board". The principal regulations were last amended by notification No. IBBI/2026-27/GN/REG142, dated 19th May, 2026.
