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. Effective from 1st June 2025, the amendment revises Regulation 40B concerning the filing of forms during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). The amendment introduces a structured format and timeline for submitting six forms (CP-1 to CP-5) via an electronic platform. These forms cover various stages of CIRP—from commencement, constitution of the Committee of Creditors (CoC), resolution plan details, and monthly updates, to reporting of avoidance transactions. Specific timelines have been set, generally requiring submission by the 10th day of the following month, with CP-3B requiring submission within 7 days of an adjudicating authority’s decision. The amendment also stipulates that resolution professionals must ensure accuracy and completeness of submissions. A late fee of ₹500 per form per calendar month will apply for delays, starting from a date to be notified separately. Non-compliance, including failure to file, inaccurate data, or delays, may lead to regulatory action, such as refusal to issue or renew Authorisation for Assignment. This amendment is part of IBBI’s continued effort to streamline reporting and accountability in corporate insolvency proceedings, following the previous amendment dated 3rd April 2025.
