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.

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.
