The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has notified the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2025, through a Gazette notification dated 19th May 2025.
These amendments, which come into effect from June 1, 2025, huge reform in the compliance framework for the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by mandating the structured and digital filing of specified forms on the IBBI’s electronic platform.
The primary aim of this amendment is to improve transparency, consistency, and timeliness in reporting key developments during the CIRP. It holds Insolvency Professionals (IPs) accountable for the accurate and timely submission of information and enables the IBBI to monitor and assess the resolution process more effectively.
The amendment substitutes the existing Regulation 40B with a detailed provision that prescribes the filing of six specific forms by the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) or the Resolution Professional (RP) at different stages of the CIRP.
