Executive Summary:
This document contains the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India Liquidation Process Second Amendment Regulations, 2018. It amends the 2016 Liquidation Process Regulations, effective from the date of publication in the Official Gazette (October 22, 2018). The amendments primarily concern the sale of assets during liquidation and valuation processes.
Key Points / Main Content:
Sale of Assets:
* Regulation 32 is substituted to specify how a liquidator may sell assets: on a standalone basis; in a slump sale; as a set of assets collectively; in parcels; as a going concern; or as a business of the corporate debtor as a going concern.
* Assets subject to security interest can only be sold if the security interest is relinquished to the liquidation estate.
Valuation of Assets or Business:
* Regulation 35 is substituted, providing rules for valuing assets or businesses intended to be sold.
* If valuation was conducted under prior regulations (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons or Fast Track Insolvency Resolution Process), the liquidator shall consider the average of the prior valuations.
* In other cases, the liquidator must appoint two registered valuers within seven days of the liquidation commencement date to determine the realisable value.
* Specifies individuals who cannot be appointed as registered valuers (relatives of the liquidator; related party of the corporate debtor; an auditor of the corporate debtor within five years of insolvency commencement; or a partner/director of the liquidator's insolvency professional entity).
* The appointed valuers must independently submit estimates of realisable value after physical verification, following the Companies Registered Valuers and Valuation Rules, 2017. The average of these estimates is the asset/business value.
Other Amendments:
* In Regulation 40, the word "business" is inserted after "parcel of assets" in the Explanation.
* Form B (Public Announcement) in Schedule II is replaced with a new form, specifying required details such as corporate debtor information, liquidation commencement date, liquidator details, and the last date for claim submission (30 days after the liquidation commencement date).
Impact Analysis:
Liquidators:
* Impact: New regulations provide updated guidance on asset sales and valuation.
* Action Required: Adhere to the new regulations when selling assets, especially regarding valuation and security interests.
Registered Valuers:
* Impact: May be appointed to determine the realisable value of assets or businesses under liquidation.
* Action Required: If appointed, independently submit estimates following the Companies Registered Valuers and Valuation Rules, 2017, and after physical verification.
