3. Accordingly, the existing forms were comprehensively revised. The revised forms have been designed to ensure a reduced compliance burden by eliminating duplications, rationalising data requirements and leveraging technology for auto-population of information already available on the portal. Consequently, these revisions are expected to significantly reduce the time and effort required for compliance by insolvency professionals, while continuing to ensure that the Board receives all essential information in a timely manner.

7. In order to facilitate IPs to familiarise themselves with the revised forms and resolve any technical issue(s) that may arise, no penalty will be levied on delayed filing of forms, if any, during the initial quarter (January – March 2026).

8. The set of forms developed by the Board on an electronic platform will be hosted on its website at https://www.ibbi.gov.in. The IP handling the liquidation assignment shall access the platform with a unique username and password provided by the IBBI and upload/submit the Forms, along with relevant information and records, after affixing a DSC or e-signing.

9. All subsequent filings shall be made only through the revised forms by the IP who is in office as Liquidator as on the last date of the month preceding the month in which the form is due to be filed.

10. It is observed that several Insolvency Professionals (IPs) have requested permission to amend already filed forms to correct any errors or omissions.

Where an IP identifies any deficiency in a submitted form, the IP may use the modification utility on the portal to make the necessary modification, authenticated through the OTP-based process.

11. If an Insolvency Professional (IP) submits a Form before the due date and subsequently modifies the same before the due date, no fee shall be applicable, as the computation of fee under Regulation 47B will commence only after the last due date of the Form.
