Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India 7 th Floor, Mayur Bhawan, Connaught Place, New Delhi-110001 CIRCULAR Circular No. IBBI/CIRP/85/2025 Date: 26 th May, 2025 To All Registered Insolvency Professionals All Recognised Insolvency Professional Entities All Registered Insolvency Professional Agencies (By mail to registered email addresses and on website of the IBBI) Subject: Launch of Revised Forms for Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). 1. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, through notification dated 19 th May, 2025, has amended the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 to introduce a simplified and streamlined forms framework for monitoring Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). This reform represents a significant step towards reducing the compliance burden on Insolvency Professionals (IPs) while maintaining effective oversight of the insolvency resolution process. 2. Under the revised framework, the existing nine forms (consisting of Form IP-1 and CIRP Forms 1 to 8) are being consolidated into five forms (CP-1 to CP-5). This consolidation has been achieved by removing duplications, streamlining data requirements, and leveraging technology for auto-population of information already available on portal. 3. The new framework introduces a standardized monthly reporting cycle, replacing the current system of multiple event-based due dates during the month. These changes are expected to significantly reduce the time and effort required for compliance by the insolvency professionals while ensuring that the Board receives all essential information on timely basis. 4. The new forms framework, comprises the following forms: Form Period covered and scope To be filed by Timeline (1) (2) (3) (4) CP-1 From commencement of CIRP till constitution of CoC: This includes details of IRP, CD, and the Applicant; admission of application by AA (Adjudicating Authority); public announcement; details of Authorised Representatives; taking over management of the CD; receipt and verification of claims; constitution of CoC etc. IRP On or before the 10th day of the subsequent month, after filing the report on constitution of CoC to AA CP-2 From constitution of CoC till issue of RFRP: This includes details of RP; details of registered valuers; details in IM; expression of interest; RFRP and modification thereof; etc. RP On or before the 10th day of the subsequent month, after issuance of RFRP CP- 3A Details of resolution plan / liquidation / closure application filed with AA: This includes details of the resolution applicants; details of approval or rejection of resolution plans by CoC; details of application filed with AA for approval of resolution plan; details of initiation of liquidation, if applicable; etc. RP On or before the 10th day of the subsequent month, after filing application with AA CP- 3B Approval of resolution plan / liquidation / closure by AA: This includes details of the resolution plan approved by the AA or liquidation order or closure order; etc. RP Within 7 days of disposal of application by AA CP-4 Avoidance transactions reported to AA: This includes details of the avoidance transactions (preferential, undervalued, extortionate credit, fraudulent); underlying amounts; date of reporting to AA; order of AA on the application, if any; etc. RP On or before the 10th day of the subsequent month, after filing of application(s) with AA or disposal of application(s)by AA CP-5 Monthly: This includes updates on the status of CIRP; details of CoC meetings held; updates on litigations; details of expenses incurred; reasons for delay, if any; etc.in case of all ongoing CIRPs.
