The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, exercising powers under sections 196 and 240 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016), issued the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2026, on June 1, 2026 (F. No. IBBI/2026-27/GN/REG152). These regulations amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, effective upon publication in the Official Gazette. Key amendments include the substitution of regulation 2B, detailing information required from operational creditors (e.g., GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, e-way bill, partial payment details, assignment, guarantee, statement of account, related party status, other proceedings). A new regulation 2E is inserted, specifying extensive information required from corporate applicants, including financial records for the preceding three years or since incorporation, bank accounts, asset particulars (immovable, movable, investments, intangibles, receivables), details of creditors, litigations, employees, subsidiaries, corporate guarantees, related party transactions, regulatory approvals, KMP, statutory compliances, joint development agreements, attached assets, demand notices under various tax acts (Income-tax Act, 1961, CGST Act, 2017, Customs Act, 1962, Central Excise Act, 1944), outstanding provident fund/gratuity/ESI dues, and proceedings under PMLA, Benami Property Transactions Act, FEMA, Companies Act, 2013, and allottee details under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (16 of 2016). Regulation 3 is amended to mandate interim resolution professionals (IRPs) to intimate the corporate debtor, Board, and Adjudicating Authority within three days if appointed as resolution professional (RP) by the Committee of Creditors (CoC), and requires written consent for any proposed RP replacement. Regulation 3A's marginal heading is changed, and the scope of persons required to extend assistance and cooperation is broadened to "any person as covered under section 19." Regulation 4 allows IRP/RP to seek information from any creditor, financial institutions, and statutory authorities, with creditors obligated to furnish all relevant information at the first CoC meeting. Several regulations (4A, 6, 7, 8, 8A, 9, 9A, 16A, 20, 21(a), 21(b)(ii)) are amended to replace references to specific Forms (e.g., Form AB, Form A, Form B, Form C, Form CA, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, Form H of Schedule-I) with "such form as notified by the Board through circular." Regulation 13 is amended, requiring IRP/RP to communicate admission or rejection of claims with reasons within seven days. New regulations 28A and 28B are inserted, allowing the RP to propose the transfer of assets of a personal or corporate guarantor (taken into possession by a creditor) as part of insolvency resolution, subject to CoC approval, detailed disclosure, and treatment of proceeds as per section 28A(3). Regulation 30A is substituted, outlining procedures for withdrawal of application under section 12A, requiring an application by the RP within three days of CoC approval, accompanied by a bank guarantee or demand draft for estimated expenses, and prohibiting applications before CoC constitution or after the invitation for expression of interest. Regulation 34B replaces "Schedule-II" with "Schedule-I." Regulation 36 now requires the information memorandum to include details of guarantor assets proposed for transfer under section 28A. Regulation 39 mandates that if multiple resolution plans are submitted, at least one must provide for resolution as a going concern, and changes the timeline for filing an application to the Adjudicating Authority from fifteen to thirty days. Regulation 40A is modified, omitting the row for Section 12(A)/Regulation 30A and changing the timeline for Regulation 39(4) from T+165 to T+150. New regulations 40E and 40F are inserted, allowing the CoC (with 66% vote) to resolve for dissolution of the corporate debtor during CIRP if assets are insufficient or not effectively realisable, and providing for restoration of the CIRP before a liquidation order. Finally, "SCHEDULE I" is omitted, and "SCHEDULE II" is renumbered as "SCHEDULE I." The principal regulations were originally published on November 30, 2016 (No. IBBI/2016-17/GN/REG004) and last amended on May 19, 2026 (No. IBBI/2026-27/GN/REG141).
