Reporting of status of ongoing CIRPs through Form CIRP 7



Quick Summary
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has issued a circular regarding the reporting of ongoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Processes (CIRPs). Previously, forms CIRP 1 to CIRP 6 were filed only upon completion of specific activities, making progress monitoring challenging. To address this, Form CIRP 7 must now be filed within three days of the due date if an activity is delayed, and subsequently every 30 days until completion.

Dear Madam / Sir,

Sub: Reporting of status of ongoing corporate insolvency resolution processes (CIRPs) through Form CIRP 7

Regulation 40A of the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 (‘CIRP regulations’) provides a model timeline for carrying out various activities envisaged in a corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP).

2. Regulation 40B of the CIRP regulations require an interim resolution professional (IRP) / resolution professional (RP) to file a set of forms (CIRP 1 to CIRP 6) within seven days of completion of specific activities to enable monitoring progress of CIRP. This implies that a Form (CIRP 1 to CIRP 6) would not be filed until the related activity is not completed for whatever reason. This makes monitoring of progress difficult. Regulation 40B of CIRP regulations require filing of Form CIRP 7 within three days of due date of completion of any activity stated in column (2) of the table below is delayed, and continue to file Form CIRP 7 every 30 days, until the said activity remains incomplete.
