IBBI amends regulations to further streamline corporate insolvency resolution process
The Insolvency & Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has notified the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2025 that aim to further streamline and strengthen corporate insolvency resolution process.
As per the amended regulations notified on May 26, which come into effect immediately, the resolution professional — with the nod of Committee of Creditors (CoC) — can invite expression of interest for submission of resolution plans for a company under insolvency process either as a whole, or for sale of one or more of assets of the company, or for both.
By enabling concurrent invitations, the resolution process will see reduced timelines, prevent value erosion in viable segments, and encourage broader investor participation, IBBI said.
Where a resolution plan will provide for payment in stages, the financial creditors who did not vote in favour of the resolution plan shall be paid at least pro rata and in priority over financial creditors who voted in favour of the plan, in each stage. This approach balances the legitimate rights of dissenting creditors with the practical constraints of phased implementations, it said.
Resolution professionals are now required to present all resolution plans received, including those that are non-compliant, to the CoC along with relevant details. CoC has been empowered to direct the resolution professional to invite the providers of interim finance to attend CoC meetings as observers without voting rights, IBBI said.

RBIs project financing norms will have negligible impact on banks, NBFCs: Report
New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): The relaxation in project financing norms by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to banks and NBFCs will have a negligible impact on the profitability on their profitability and balance sheet, according to a report by Motilal Oswal. 'We believe the impact of the revised norms on bank/NBFC profitability will be negligible, as the existing book remains unaffected,' the report added. However, the report added, 'For new project loans, any incremental provisioning cost is likely to be passed on to borrowers, especially in a declining rate environment, through yield adjustments.' The report added that RBI's final project finance guidelines are a positive for banks and NBFCs, especially when compared to the stricter 2024 draft. The apex bank on Wednesday issued the final Reserve Bank of India (Project Finance) Directions, 2025, which lays down the comprehensive framework for income recognition, asset classification, and provisioning norms for project loans under implementation. The most notable relief came from the significantly eased provisioning requirements, which were cut to just 1 per cent during construction compared to 5 per cent proposed earlier and as low as 0.4 per cent post Date of Commencement of Commercial Operations (DCCO). These new guidelines will come into effect from October 1 current year. The draft guidelines proposed an enabling framework for the regulated entities (REs) for financing project loans, while addressing the underlying risks. RBI said that it received feedback from nearly 70 entities, including banks, NBFCs, industry bodies, academicians, law firms, individuals, and the Central Government. As per to new rules, the RBI introduced a principle-based regime for stress resolution in project finance exposures, applicable across all regulated entities (REs), ensuring a harmonised approach. The report stated that the easing norms reduce capital drag while still maintaining prudence. 'Overall, the final norms strike a balanced approach, enabling continued flow of project finance with minimal impact on the profitability or balance sheet strength of lenders,' the report further added.
