This notification introduces the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Professionals) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2025, to further amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Professionals) Regulations, 2016.

Detailed Summary

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, exercising powers conferred by section 196, sections 207 and 208 read with section 240 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016), has enacted the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Professionals) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2025, effective from November 21, 2025. These regulations insert a new Regulation 7B into the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Professionals) Regulations, 2016, titled "Number of Assignments." This new regulation restricts an insolvency professional (who is not an insolvency professional entity) to a maximum of ten aggregate assignments as interim resolution professional, resolution professional, and liquidator, with not more than three of these having admitted claims exceeding one thousand crore rupees each. A proviso clarifies that professionals exceeding this limit on the commencement date cannot accept new assignments until their ongoing assignments fall below the specified limit. Additionally, the regulations amend the Code of Conduct for Insolvency Professionals in the First Schedule, substituting "the approval of the Board" with "the prior approval of the Adjudicating Authority" in clause 6 and omitting the clarification to clause 22. The principal regulations were originally published via notification No. IBBI/2016-17/GN/REG003 dated 23rd November, 2016, and last amended by notification No. IBBI/2025-26/GN/REG123, dated 03rd April, 2025.
