NDRC Released Measures for Credit Repair Management

On November 20, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released the Measures for Credit Repair Management (the “Measures”), which will take effect on April 1, 2026.

The Measures clarify that dishonest information is categorized into three types—minor, general, and serious—with respective publicity periods set. After the credit subject meets the minimum publicity period, corrects the dishonest conduct, and fulfills relevant obligations, it may apply for repair via the Credit China website. The repair process includes submission of materials, review, and feedback, with a maximum time limit of no more than 20 working days. Upon repair, the relevant dishonest information will cease to be publicized, shared, and used, and disciplinary measures will be lifted. Third-party credit service institutions must simultaneously update the information. False applications will be recorded and restricted from repair. No fees may be charged for repair. The original trial measures are abolished simultaneously.
