Highlights of the IBC (Amendment) Act 2026

This edition is essential for navigating the massive structural changes introduced in May 2026. The built-in IBC Law Guide thoroughly explains:

• Faster, Tighter CIRP: Expeditious admission of financial creditors’ applications (14-day target), strict limits on withdrawal, and robust anti-abuse penalties.

• Reworked Liquidation Regime: CoC supervision of liquidation, IBBI-appointed liquidators, moratorium-style protection extended into liquidation, and alternative dissolution provisions.

• Redefined Core Concepts: New statutory definitions for ‘registered valuer’ and ‘service provider’, plus crucial clarifications on ‘security interest’ to settle priority-of-debt disputes.

• Avoidance & Wrongful Trading: New statutory concepts empowering resolution professionals to file applications that survive both CIRP and liquidation.
