It is discussed in detail about the role of IBBI\nin the further paragraphs and about what is &ldquo;registered valuers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concept of Registered Valuers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of registered valuers is inscribed under <strong><em>section\n247<\/em><\/strong> of the Indian Companies Act, 2013. Its main agenda is to regulate\nthe practice of valuation In India and to also bring it to match the\nInternational standards in terms of valuation. However, we shall confront this\nterm Registration many times especially during transactions like Fund Raising,\nMergers &amp; Acquisitions, sale of a business, strategic business decisions, shareholders\ndisputes, and voluntary value assessment and also for regulatory compliance,\ntax and financial reporting purposes in India under RBI, Income Tax, Companies\nAct, SEBI Laws, etc. The valuation of a listed company whose share is actively\ntraded on a nationwide stock exchange can be derived from its prevailing <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Market&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;A market is a structured environment, either physical or virtual, where buyers and sellers convene to trade goods and services.

From <strong><em>1st February 2019,<\/em><\/strong> onwards none\nother than IBBI, &ldquo;Registered valuer&rdquo; is authorized to conduct valuations under\nthe applicable provisions present in the Companies Act, 2013. In the case of SEBI,\nthe Registered Merchant Banker is authorized to undertake valuation by the Discounted\nCash Flow method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Process of Valuation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/method-business-valuation-india\/\">process of valuation<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is indeed a complex situation, and hence it involves multiple steps and procedures, the foremost thing to be taken into consideration before discussing it in detail. Understand the whole agenda of valuation and its underlying process, proper analysis of the valuation will, in turn, assist the valuer in applying, evaluating and calculating the appropriate valuation approaches and method in accomplishing the aforesaid agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The main purpose\nof a valuation is transparency and better governance.<\/li><li>The most\nimportant task is information requisition from the company.<\/li><li>The other task is\nif the valuation is for regulatory or financial purposes, the emphasis is\nmostly laid on legal and regulatory aspects, which may further talk about\ncertain methodologies and also a particular standard.<\/li><li>The tasks involve\nperforming value adjustments, value considerations, documentation, and\nreporting.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is required to\nbe kept under consideration that valuation is usually done at a particular\npoint in time. The date of valuation is that a specific date where valuer\nestimates the value of the subject interest and thereby draws the conclusion\nwith its estimated value. Since relative valuation is heavily dependent upon so\nmany external factors hence the date of valuation plays a major role in this\nregard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the concept of\nValuation is an old school concept, yet there has been no formal introduction\nof this concept in this competing world, which means that there is no formal Registration\nof valuers with any central authorities. This, in turn, brought a lack of\nuniformity in the process. In the past, owing to the lack of Indian valuation\nstandards and techniques, most of the professionals associated with it adopted\ninternational norms. However, few valuers did try to flout the ethical\nstandards of valuation because of which the <strong><em>Ministry of Corporate Affairs had\nto come up with Registered Valuers and Valuation\nRules, 2017.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Valuation henceforth only by Registered\nValuers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, it has been\nobserved that in the past couple of years, shareholders have moved SEBI for not\nbeing remunerated with a fair price by promoters as part of the delisting or\nexit process. To illustrate this, in early 2017, the minority shareholders of\nSchneider Electric expressed a grudge with the exit price. Though the valuers\nregistered on NSE and BSE follow the SEBI guidelines for arriving at the final\noffer price, their appointment is, however, influenced by the majority\nshareholders. To provide a solution for the above-stated issue, Registered\nValuers and Valuation Rules, 2017, were enacted. According to the Registered\nValuers &amp; Valuation rules, 2017, valuers upon registration with a\ngovernment notified authority could perform valuation (those including\nindividuals, partnership entities, and companies) under the Companies Act. The\ngist of the rule is that valuers need to accept international standards of\nevaluation <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"read\"><p><b>Also, Read:<\/b> <mark><a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/valuation-principles-adopted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regulatory Aspects of Valuation Introduction &amp; Principles Adopted<\/a><\/mark>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While discussing in detail\nabout companies Act, 2013, the valuation reports post 1<sup>st<\/sup> of February,\n2019 has to be obtained from registered valuers registered with IBBI (Insolvency\nand Bankruptcy Board of India) only. Talking further, there are certain\nprovisions in which registration is required from registered valuer, i.e.,<strong><em>\nsection 62(1)c, section 192(2), section 230(2)(c)(v), section 230(3), etc.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Insolvency code and Insolvency and bankruptcy board of India Regulations, 2016- registered valuer means a person registered as such in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder. Similarly, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/\">under SEBI<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, valuation is required to be done only by Registered valuers registered with IBBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Corporate Affairs on <strong><em>23<sup>rd<\/sup> October 2017<\/em><\/strong> via notification has specified IBBI as the responsible authority in this regard since then IBBI became the regular administer and was thereby held to perform the functions of the Central Government. It can be concluded that IBBI has all the worldly powers to regulate the valuation domain both under Companies and IBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, there are certain qualifications for registered valuer, which are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A person with qualifications as above with ten\nyears of post-qualification experience and not presently in employment may be\neligible for registration as a valuation professional in the respective\ndiscipline. <\/li><li>Only a citizen of India may be registered as a\nvaluation professional. <\/li><li>Only public companies may be allowed to be\nregistered as a valuation professional organization (VPO). <\/li><li>Valuation professional is a profession of\npractice. There is no need to issue a certificate of practice. Code of Conduct for valuation professionals\nmay be tailor-made for them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about the impact on\nthis practice of valuation this practice of valuation is predominantly done by\nmerchant bankers and chartered accountant who issue valuation certificates in\ncompliance with Companies act 2013, SEBI Regulations, and Income-tax Act. Such\nMerchant Bankers and Chartered Accountant needs to get themselves enrolled as\nregistered valuer if they intend to carry out valuation practice. All those\ncompanies and partnership firms that are providing valuation services also are\nrequired to reconstitute in order to fulfill the eligibility criteria matching\nthe RV rules. This is also to bring under notice that a Registered valuer can\neither be an individual or an entity. In case of Partnership, it can be deemed\nto be a registered valuer if all its partners are registered valuer with IBBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cancellation and suspension of registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IBBI, as an authority, can\nsuspend or cancel the registration of a valuer in case of violation of any\nprovisions in the Act or any other law or rules or any conditions of the\nregistration.&nbsp; The officer in authority\nnominated by IBBI can conduct an investigation before taking any necessary\naction, shall call upon the registered valuer to show cause, and would provide\nproper opportunity to present himself and let him avail all the possible\nopportunities.&nbsp; The officer on duty has\nto dispose of the case after showing causes while adhering to principles of\nnatural justice (Fair trial and no person to judge his own case) and pronounce\na reasoned order.&nbsp; The officer is also authorized\nto issue a warning notice instead of suspension or cancellation.&nbsp; The particular order becomes effective, 30\ndays after it is passed, and this order is appealable to the authority, IBBI. A\nregistered valuer&rsquo;s work will become sought after in every company while at the\nsame time, the valuation itself becomes streamlined and regulated, bringing\nresponsibility and accountability to every valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence professionals\/corporate \/ IPs have to ensure\nhenceforth that the Valuation reports have to be obtained only from Registered\nValuers. It can be noted that Registered Valuers means registered with IBBI.\nHence while approaching Valuers, please check whether the proposed valuer has\nregistration number allotted IBBI. If any person\nother than Registered Valuer issued a valuation report \/certificate that will\nnot be acceptable by respective authorities, an issuer might be liable for\nfurther disciplinary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the scope of the Registered\nValuers and Valuations Act is only over the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI\nRegulation, and Insolvency Valuation Act. It is expected that the precise\nguidelines for registered valuer shall have positive effects on income tax,\nM&amp;A, exit, and delisting valuation. This, in turn, is expected to\nultimately protect the minority shareholders&rsquo; rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"read\"><p><b>Recommended Post:<\/b> <mark><a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/business-valuation-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brief on business valuation methods in India<\/a><\/mark>.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While looking into the past scenario into the business domain, there has been no shortage or sheer need of accounting guidance; the only thing that we are missing out on is fair valuation and valuation guidelines.
