**Executive Summary**
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, issued on June 8, 2026, modifies procedures for creditor committee composition and resolution cost approvals. The regulations mandate new reporting requirements for Resolution Professionals, including Going Concern Assessment Reports and detailed cost justifications. These provisions come into effect on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **Committee of Creditors (CoC) Composition**
* The term "unrelated" is now specified regarding the eighteen largest operational creditors included in the committee.
* If the number of unrelated operational creditors is fewer than eighteen, the committee must include all such creditors.
* **Participation of Operational Creditors and Authorities**
* In cases where creditors other than scheduled banks or public financial institutions hold more than 66% of the voting share, the Resolution Professional (RP) must invite the five largest unrelated operational creditors to attend meetings as observers.
* These five observers must include the three largest statutory authorities to whom dues are owed based on admitted claims.
* Observers do not have voting rights, but the RP must record any observations they make in the meeting minutes.
* **Insolvency Resolution Process Costs**
* All costs incurred up to the first CoC meeting must be presented by the RP at that meeting for approval, accompanied by justifications.
* After the first meeting, any resolution process costs must receive prior approval from the committee before being incurred.
* At every meeting, the RP must provide a statement of estimated income and expenses for the upcoming period and a comparison of actual costs versus previous estimates.
* **Going Concern Assessment**
* The RP is required to submit a "Going Concern Assessment Report" at the first CoC meeting.
* The report must detail estimated income/cash flows, working capital requirements, and material risks of value erosion if operations continue or are suspended.
* The CoC must use this report to decide the scope and duration of the corporate debtor's continued operations.
* **Resolution Plan Deliberations**
* The CoC is now required to formally record its rationale and deliberations concerning the feasibility and viability of resolution plans.
* The committee must compare the expected realizable value for creditors against the determined fair value and liquidation value.
* The CoC must record its assessment of the adequacy of the market discovery process, including the use of challenge mechanisms.
**Impact Analysis**
**Stakeholder: Resolution Professionals (RP)**
**Impact**
RPs face increased compliance and reporting obligations, particularly regarding financial forecasting and the formal assessment of the debtor's operational status.
**Action Required**
Must prepare a Going Concern Assessment Report for the first CoC meeting; must obtain prior approval for all costs post-first meeting; must invite specific operational creditors/authorities as observers when voting thresholds are met.
**Stakeholder: Committee of Creditors (CoC)**
**Impact**
The CoC gains stricter oversight over resolution costs and the operational direction of the corporate debtor. They are also held to higher transparency standards regarding their decision-making logic.
**Action Required**
Must review and approve all resolution costs and justifications; must decide on the continuation of operations based on RP reports; must formally record the rationale for selecting or rejecting resolution plans.
**Stakeholder: Operational Creditors and Statutory Authorities**
**Impact**
Large operational creditors and statutory bodies (such as tax authorities) gain increased visibility into the resolution process as observers in specific cases where institutional financial creditors do not hold a 66% majority.
**Action Required**
Identify if they rank among the top five unrelated operational creditors or top three statutory authorities to participate as observers when invited.
