Homebuyers to get possession during resolution process: IBBI

IN A BID to provide relief to homebuyers, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has allowed resolution professionals (RP) to hand over possession of plots, flats, or buildings to homebuyers while the resolution process is still ongoing.

With the amendment of 'Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons' regulations, the IBBI has allowed the RP to hand over the possession of property to home buyers, after obtaining approval of the committee of creditors (CoC) and upon fulfilment of all obligations by the homeowner, an official release said on Tuesday.

Experts say these changes, being specifically aimed at the real estate sector resolution, would not only increase the resolution rate and maximise returns, but also would facilitate timely resolutions without value erosion.
