What Does a Registered Valuer Actually Do?

What Does a Registered Valuer Actually Do?
“Why do we need a Registered Valuer?”
Because valuation isn’t just math it’s a regulated opinion grounded in law, logic, and accountability.

 Who is a Registered Valuer (RV)?
A professional recognized under Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013, empanelled with the IBBI (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India) to determine the fair value of assets.

They are certified to value:
 Securities or Financial Assets
 Plant & Machinery
 Land & Building

 What does an RV do?
 Applies valuation methodologies (DCF, NAV, Market Approach)
 Conducts due diligence on business, legal, and financial records
 Drafts legally compliant valuation reports
Ensures alignment with Income Tax Act, FEMA, Companies Act, SEBI, etc.
 Stands by their opinion with personal professional liability

 When is a Registered Valuer required?
 Fundraising / ESOPs (Sec. 62, 56(2)(viib))
 Mergers / Demergers (Sec. 232)
 Share transfers / Buybacks
 Family settlements / Court cases
Cross-border deals (FEMA compliance, 409A, FDI pricing)
 Insolvency, liquidation & restructuring

 Why it matters:
In the eyes of regulators, a valuation is valid only if issued by an eligible professional and RVs are trained, tested, and regulated for this exact role.
“A Registered Valuer is not just a number-giver.
They are a bridge between compliance and commercial logic.”
