When is a registered valuer's report required?

Under the Companies Act, 2013 a valuation by a registered valuer is needed for a preferential allotment or private placement of shares (sections 42 and 62(1)(c)), for non-cash transactions with directors (section 192), for compromises, arrangements and mergers (section 230) and for buying out minority shareholders (section 236). Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, the resolution professional appoints two registered valuers for each asset class to determine fair value and liquidation value (Regulations 27 and 35 of the CIRP Regulations).

What about FEMA and income-tax valuations?

When shares are issued to, or transferred between, residents and non-residents, FEMA requires the price to be at least, or at most, the fair value worked out under an internationally accepted pricing method and certified by a chartered accountant, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant. For income tax, the fair market value rules for unquoted shares set out which methods are allowed and, for some of them, who must sign the report. We tell you which report each purpose needs before starting.

How do we value shares?

We use income, market and asset approaches as the facts allow: discounted cash flow for businesses with reliable projections, comparable companies and transactions where data exists, and net asset value for holding and asset-heavy companies. Every report states its assumptions, sensitivity to key inputs and the reasons for the method chosen. The registration covers securities and financial assets only; land, buildings and plant are valued by valuers registered in those classes.
