IBBI Proposes Changes to Personal Guarantor Recovery and Valuation Regulations
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has proposed regulatory changes to enhance recovery processes and valuation transparency for insolvent firms. Key proposals include removing interim moratorium protection for personal guarantors to prevent delays in recovery, allowing creditors to pursue pending or new recovery actions. Additionally, the IBBI seeks to tighten norms for appointing registered valuers by requiring Committee of Creditors' approval and confidential submission of valuation reports, with fair value disclosure deferred until resolution plan evaluation.
