Business Valuation (Reg. Valuer) in India 2026

Business Valuation (Reg. Valuer) from KAMRIT. Senior expert accountability, transparent fixed-fee pricing, 100% online delivery across India.

Every business hits a moment when an outsider needs to put a number on the company. A private equity investor wants to price the next round. A promoter is selling a division. The NCLT has ordered a fairness opinion before a merger. Or the Income Tax Act has caught a transfer at below-circle rates and the Assessing Officer is demanding a valuation report under Section 56(2)(x). In every one of these cases, a vague Excel sheet will not protect you. Under Section 247 of the Companies Act 2013 and the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017, the only recognised mechanism is a report from a Registered Valuer. KAMRIT Financial Services LLP works with valuers registered with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) to deliver defensible, MCA-ready valuation reports that satisfy statutory authorities, lenders, tax officers, and transaction counterparties alike. From kickoff to stamped report, KAMRIT manages the entire engagement so you can focus on the deal, not the paperwork.

What is Business Valuation (Reg. Valuer) in India 2026?

Business Valuation under the Companies Act 2013 is the formal process of estimating the economic value of a business, its assets, or specific asset classes by a Registered Valuer as defined under Section 247 and the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017. The Rules were notified by the MCA under the powers granted by Sections 247 and 458 of the Companies Act 2013. A Registered Valuer is an individual certified by an RVO recognised by IBBI, for specific asset classes including: securities or financial assets, land and building, plant and machinery, and intangible assets. The valuation report is not advisory opinion. It is a statutory document. It must be submitted to the Registrar of Companies via Form GNL-2 along with the GNL-1 filing on the MCA21 portal when required by the Act. Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act 1961 deems as income any transfer of unlisted shares or property below fair market value, making a valuer-signed report mandatory for structuring asset-heavy transactions. RERA projects require valuation for plot bookings above a threshold. The IBC 2016 mandates valuation at every stage of corporate insolvency. KAMRIT works across all four asset classes and delivers reports accepted by NCLT, tax authorities, SEBI, and private transaction counterparties.

Who needs this

Valuation is not a routine compliance exercise. It is triggered by specific statutory events or voluntary commercial needs. Know whether you need it before you engage a valuer.

Any private limited or public limited company undertaking a non-cash transaction with a director or related party under Section 192 where the asset value exceeds Rs 10 lakh, per the Companies Act 2013 and associated Rules.
Companies undertaking merger, demerger, amalgamation, or capital reduction under Sections 230 to 240 of the Companies Act 2013 requiring NCLT approval and mandatory fairness opinion.
Transfer of unlisted equity shares, immovable property, or specified assets where the transaction value is below fair market value as determined by the stamp duty circle rate or a registered valuer, under Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act 1961.
Any listed or unlisted company issuing sweat equity shares where pricing requires independent valuation under the Companies (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations 2014.
Companies seeking valuation for takeover bids, open offers under SEBI (SAST) Regulations 2011, or restructuring where the asset base changes materially.

RERA-registered projects where the promoter or developer needs an asset valuation for project finance or dispute resolution under the RERA Act 2016.
Voluntary commercial transactions: PE/VC funding rounds, ESOP pricing, business sale or acquisition where both parties require an independent, defensible value conclusion.
Foreign investment transactions under FEMA where the Indian entity is being valued for inward remittance purposes and RBI documentation is required.
Companies undergoing buyback of shares under Section 68 of the Companies Act 2013 where the buyback price requires independent valuation to satisfy the statutory limit.

How KAMRIT runs it, step by step

KAMRIT runs a structured eight-step process from engagement letter to final report delivery. Government-controlled stages like RVO sign-off and MCA filing are factored into the timeline upfront.

Engagement Scope and NDA. KAMRIT executes a formal engagement letter specifying the asset class, purpose of valuation, applicable law, and valuation approach. A mutual NDA covers confidentiality of financials shared. At this stage the valuation purpose and relevant Act or transaction document are locked. Turnaround: 1 working day.
Document Collection and Verification. KAMRIT issues a structured document checklist covering the 12 categories above. All documents are verified for currency, authenticity, and completeness before the valuer begins analysis. Incomplete stacks are returned within 2 working days with a specific deficiency note. This prevents valuer queries mid-process.
Preliminary Valuation Analysis and Site Visit. The Registered Valuer conducts a preliminary analysis of financials, reviews the fixed asset register, and schedules a site visit if plant and machinery or real estate are included in scope. For financial asset valuations, the valuer reviews equity/debt instrument details, dividend history, and comparable transaction data from SEBI filings. Site visit and physical verification of assets: 3 to 5 working days.
Valuation Approach Selection and Computation. The valuer selects the primary approach based on asset class and purpose: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) for business enterprise valuation, Comparable Transaction Multiples (CTM) or Comparable Company Multiples (CCM) for share transfers, Net Asset Value (NAV) for asset-heavy companies, and Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) for plant and machinery under Rules 8 to 11 of the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017. The computation is documented with all assumptions, discount rates, risk premiums, and terminal growth rates made explicit.
Draft Report Preparation. The valuer prepares a draft valuation report covering: executive summary, scope and purpose, methodology selected, industry and economic overview, financial analysis, valuation computation, sensitivity analysis,caveats and limitations, and conclusions. The draft report is reviewed by KAMRIT's compliance team before client sharing. Draft to client: 7 to 10 working days from completion of document collection.
Client Review and Clarifications. The client receives the draft report and may raise queries or request adjustments to the underlying assumptions. KAMRIT facilitates valuer-client clarification calls and incorporates factual corrections. Commercial or conclusion-level changes that require re-computation are quoted separately. Client review window: typically 3 to 5 working days.
Final Report Sign-Off and RVO Stamping. The final report is signed by the Registered Valuer and stamped by the RVO under whose authority the valuer is enrolled. This is a regulatory requirement under Rule 14 of the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017. The stamped report carries the RVO registration number and the valuer's IBBI registration number. RVO stamping: 2 to 3 working days.
MCA21 GNL-2 Filing (if applicable) and Delivery. Where the valuation is required under the Companies Act 2013 (e.g., non-cash transactions, mergers, capital reduction), KAMRIT files Form GNL-2 on the MCA21 portal attaching the valuation report as an enclosure. For tax-related valuations under Section 56(2)(x), the report is delivered for AO submission. Complete delivery from kickoff: typically 21 to 35 working days depending on document completeness and RVO queue.

Timeline

From the day KAMRIT receives a complete and verified document stack, the Registered Valuer delivers a draft report within 10 to 14 working days for financial asset valuations, and 14 to 21 working days for land-and-building or plant-and-machinery valuations that require site visits and physical verification. RVO sign-off adds another 2 to 5 working days. MCA21 GNL-2 filings for merger-related or capital-reduction valuations require the NCLT order to be obtained first; the NCLT approval process itself runs 60 to 120 working days depending on theBench queue and whether objections are filed. KAMRIT controls the pre-NCLT stages (documents, valuer report, company filings) and factors NCLT delays into the project plan without promising a false delivery date. For straightforward share transfer valuations under Section 56(2)(x), the end-to-end timeline from document receipt to stamped report in hand is typically 25 to 40 working days. Tax authority submissions follow receipt of the report; KAMRIT does not control the AO's review timeline. The 35-day KAMRIT estimate covers everything within our operational control.

How our pricing compares

KAMRIT prices Business Valuation engagements starting at Rs 34,899 for a single-asset-class financial securities valuation with standard scope. The fee increases for plant-and-machinery or land-and-building valuations requiring site visits and physical verification, and for engagements requiring NCLT-adjacent filings. There are no hidden charges for document management, KAMRIT coordination, or MCA21 GNL-2 filing. Government fees for RVO stamp and MCA21 GNL-2 filing are separate and minimal. IndiaFilings charges Rs 25,000 to Rs 65,000 for valuation reports but typically outsources the actual computation to an empanelled valuer without the same IBBI-connected RVO network as KAMRIT. Vakilsearch quotes Rs 30,000 to Rs 75,000 for a valuation-related filing but bundles the service with company registration renewals and does not offer standalone RVO-stamped reports for tax or transaction use. ClearTax focuses on ITR and GST and does not offer Registered Valuer services for statutory purposes under Section 247. LegalRaasta quotes Rs 18,000 to Rs 40,000 for a basic valuation certificate but the report is often not accepted by NCLT or tax authorities as it lacks the RVO stamping required under Rule 14 of the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017. KAMRIT's Rs 34,899 starting price is competitive against all four named competitors for comparable scope and includes the RVO-stamped report, MCA21 GNL-2 filing, and end-to-end coordination as standard inclusions. The price difference versus budget providers reflects the statutory compliance guarantee, IBBI-registered valuer access, and KAMRIT's coordination layer that prevents AO rejections or NCLT objections caused by defective reports.

Common mistakes KAMRIT avoids

Statutory valuation is a high-stakes document. The most common reasons valuation reports are rejected by tax authorities, NCLT, or transaction counterparties are below. KAMRIT proactively prevents each one.

Engaging a charted accountant instead of an IBBI-registered valuer for matters governed by Section 247 of the Companies Act 2013, resulting in a legally non-compliant report that the ROC or NCLT will not accept.
Using an outdated valuation approach (e.g., book value or face value for a share transfer) when the applicable Rules require DCF, CCM, or DRC depending on the asset class and transaction type.
Submitting financials older than the last audited financial year without a qualified review or without adjusting for extraordinary items, resulting in a valuation that does not reflect current fair value.
Failing to file Form GNL-2 on the MCA21 portal after the valuation report is obtained, which makes the valuation legally incomplete under the Companies Act filing requirements.
Not disclosing related-party status or promoter holdings accurately in the valuation scope, causing the valuer to miss conflict-of-interest disclosures required under Rule 6 of the Rules 2017.
Assuming a single valuation report serves both tax authority and transaction purposes without specifying the applicable circle rate or transaction-specific assumptions, leading to AO rejection.
Skipping the site visit for plant-and-machinery valuations, which results in a report that cannot withstand cross-examination by the opposing counsel in NCLT proceedings.
