The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has notified the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, introducing extensive changes to the liquidation framework under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The amendments significantly strengthen the role of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) during liquidation by requiring its continued functioning throughout the liquidation process and granting it approval powers over key decisions such as appointment and remuneration of professionals, liquidator’s fees, liquidation costs, valuation, legal proceedings, asset sales, assignment of assets, and replacement of the liquidator. The regulations also require the CoC to recommend the name of a liquidator before a liquidation order is passed. New provisions mandate creditor approval before filing any compromise or arrangement under Section 230 of the Companies Act and require that recoveries under such arrangements exceed the liquidation value. The amendments introduce stricter timelines for submission, verification, admission and communication of claims, reduce various procedural timelines, revise the liquidator’s fee structure, and provide a model timeline targeting completion of liquidation within 180 days from the liquidation commencement date.
The amendments further replace the earlier stakeholders’ consultation framework with a CoC-driven decision-making mechanism across several stages of liquidation. Secured creditors must communicate their decision regarding relinquishment of security interests within fourteen days, failing which such security interests will be deemed relinquished. The liquidator is required to obtain prior approval of the CoC for various actions, including private sales, fresh valuations, continuation of legal proceedings, disclaimer of onerous property, distribution-related arrangements, and sale processes. The regulations also prohibit sale of assets to persons ineligible under Section 29A and impose restrictions on sales to related parties and professionals associated with the liquidation process. New provisions facilitate coordination where a corporate debtor is a corporate guarantor and allow replacement of a liquidator through a CoC vote. The amendments also streamline reporting obligations, provide new formats to be notified by the Board, omit certain schedules and consultation committee provisions, and shorten the overall liquidation timeline to promote faster resolution and distribution to stakeholders.
