CIRCULAR
No. IBBI/LIQ/44/2021 30th September, 2021
To
All Registered Insolvency Professionals

(By mail to registered email addresses and on website of the Board)
Dear Madam /Sir,
Subject: IBBI’s Electronic Platform for hosting Public Notices of Auctions of Liquidation
Assets under the IBBI (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016.
A liquidator is required to issue public notice of auctions on the website designated by IBBI,
in addition to other specified modes of publication, under sub-regulation (3) of regulation 12
of the IBBI (Liquidation Process) Regulations, 2016 (Liquidation Process Regulations) read
with clause (5) of paragraph 1 of its Schedule I.
2. Liquidators are presently auctioning liquidation assets on various auction platforms. The
information regarding such auctions is not available at a centralised place. A centralised
platform hosting all public notices of auctions of liquidation assets of ongoing liquidation
processes would improve visibility for the liquidation assets being sold, and may expedite the
process and lead to better realisation.
3. Considering the above, the Board has provided an electronic platform on its website:
www.ibbi.gov.in for hosting public notices of auctions of liquidation assets. The Board hereby
designates this platform for the purposes of clause (5) of paragraph 1 of Schedule I of the
Liquidation Process Regulations.
4. Liquidators are, therefore, directed to upload the public notice of every auction of any
liquidation asset, with effect from 1st October, 2021, at www.ibbi.gov.in on the day of its
publication in newspapers, through their designated login page.
5. This Circular is issued in exercise of the powers under section 196 of the Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-

19-08-2020 Disqualification of an IP due to Bias, being Ex-employee/Pensioner of applicant SBI Case SC Concluded (NCLAT) Delhi is not correct

NCLT New Delhi(PB) on 04.01.2020 in State Bank of India vs M/s. Metenere Limited [CP No. IB-639(PB)/2018]

Mr. Sailesh Verma. It is submitted that Mr. Sailesh Verma is an ex-employee of SBI; joined the services of SBI in the year 1977 and since then he had been working with SBI till his retirement in 2016. He has been in the services of SBI for a period of over 39 years. Thus there is an apprehension of bias against the appointment of the proposed IRP.

NCLAT : disqualified or ineligible to act as an ‘Interim Resolution Professional’.

NOW

Finally the Hon’ble SCI on 19.08.2020 in State Bank of India vs M/s. Metenere Ltd (Civil Appeal No. 2570 of 2020) disposed the matter, observing as under;

  • “We are prima facie satisfied that the approach adopted by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi (NCLAT) is not correct that merely Resolution Professional who remained in the Service of SBI and is getting pension, was disentitled to be Resolution Professional.”
