The regulations require the Committee of Creditors (CoC) to fix the fee payable to the liquidator. Where the fee has not been fixed by the CoC, the regulations provide for a fee as a percentage of the amount realised and of the amount distributed by the liquidator.

An official release on Thursday said there have been instances where a liquidator realises the amount while another liquidator distributes the same to stakeholders.
