The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India ("IBBI") has amended the IBBI (Model Bye-Laws and Governing Board of Insolvency Professional Agencies) Regulations, 2016 ("Model Bye laws Regulations") for a second time vide Gazette notification dated 31.10.2022.
The Model Bye Laws Regulations lay down the governance structure and provides for model bye laws of the Insolvency Professional Agencies (IPA).

The second amendment incorporates the aforesaid three Circulars in the amended Model Bye Laws Regulations and the said circulars stand rescinded. By the said amendment, no change in the list of contraventions by the IP and the amount of monetary penalties has been introduced, as contained in the circular no. IBBI/IPA/43/2021 dated 28.07.2021.
