The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has unveiled a set of electronic forms designed to streamline compliance for insolvency professionals and enhance the liquidation process's efficiency. According to the IBBI, these forms are integral to systematic and transparent record-keeping and seamless reporting under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
As per the circular issued by the IBBI on June 28, forms LIQ 1 to LIQ 4 will cover different stages of the liquidation process. Currently, insolvency professionals submit liquidation details through emails, a method deemed time-consuming and inefficient. The IBBI aims to replace this with electronic forms to improve accuracy and efficiency.
Form LIQ 1 encompasses details from the start of liquidation to the public announcement, LIQ 2 involves data from the public announcement to the progress report, LIQ 3 spans from the last progress report to the application for dissolution, and LIQ 4 deals with the distribution of proceeds and final details post-dissolution. The forms promise to minimize errors and deliver more reliable information, facilitating smoother processes.
The IBBI has also introduced forms VL 1 to VL 4 for voluntary liquidation, which include data such as stakeholder lists, asset sales, and proceeds distribution. Insolvency professionals are required to submit these forms by September 30 for ongoing cases. Non-compliance will result in liability as per the IBC provisions, according to the regulator.
