Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

**Executive Summary** This document is a notification of amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Pre-Packaged Insolvency Resolution Process) Regulations, 2021, issued on February 25, 2026. These amendments, called the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Pre-Packaged Insolvency Resolution Process) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026, pertain to the determination of fair value and liquidation value in the pre-packaged insolvency resolution process. The regulations come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette. **Key Points / Main Content** * **Short Title and Commencement:** * The regulations are named the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Pre-Packaged Insolvency Resolution Process) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026. * They take effect from the date of publication in the Official Gazette. * **Definition of "Fair Value":** * "Fair value" is redefined as the estimated realizable value of the corporate debtor or its assets if exchanged between a willing buyer and seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing, where parties act knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. * The calculation of the estimated realizable value must account for the total estimated realizable value of all assets, including tangible and intangible assets, along with their underlying synergies. * **Registered Valuers:** * Regulation 38 now requires the appointment of "sets of" registered valuers, instead of "two registered valuers". * Each set of registered valuers must include one valuer for each asset class of the corporate debtor. One registered valuer within each set will be designated as the coordinating valuer by the resolution professional, in consultation with the committee. * **Determination of Fair Value and Liquidation Value:** * The resolution professional will facilitate a meeting where registered valuers explain their valuation methodology to committee members before calculations. * Each valuer must physically verify inventory and fixed assets. * Each registered valuer must submit a report on the fair value and liquidation value to the resolution professional and coordinating valuer, computed according to valuation standards notified by the Board. * The coordinating valuer will compute the fair value of the corporate debtor, considering the fair values of the assets as computed by the registered valuers, along with underlying synergies, and submit it to the resolution professional. * The fair value of the corporate debtor will be the average of the two closest estimates of the fair value submitted by the coordinating valuers. * The liquidation value of the corporate debtor will be the average of the two closest estimates of the liquidation value submitted by registered valuers in each asset class. * **Valuation Report:** * Each registered valuer must prepare a valuation report and maintain documentation as per the format notified by the Board through circular. **Impact Analysis** **Impact: Corporate Debtors** * Impact: The amendment impacts how fair value and liquidation value are determined in the pre-packaged insolvency process, which can influence the outcome of the resolution for the corporate debtor. * Action Required: Corporate Debtors need to be aware of the new valuation methods and the impact on the insolvency proceedings. **Impact: Resolution Professionals** * Impact: They are required to facilitate meetings and work with coordinating valuers to compute fair value of corporate debtors. * Action Required: Resolution professionals must adapt to the amended regulations, including facilitating meetings between valuers and the committee, and designating coordinating valuers. They need to be aware of how the change in valuation methods impact their work. **Impact: Registered Valuers** * Impact: Registered valuers are now required to form "sets" and coordinate within these sets for valuations. * Action Required: Registered valuers need to organize themselves into sets, follow the new valuation procedures, and prepare valuation reports according to the format notified by the Board. **Impact: Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI)** * Impact: Oversight and enforcement of compliance with the amended regulations. * Action Required: The IBBI is responsible for ensuring that all parties comply with the new regulations. **Impact: Committee of Creditors** * Impact: To be informed about the methodology being adopted to arrive at the valuation before computation of estimates. * Action Required: Ensure the resolution professional is following the correct procedures.
