Our Specialized Company Law Valuation Solutions
We provide end-to-end Valuation support tailored to the specific corporate actions defined in the Act:
When is a Registered Valuer Report Mandatory? (Companies Act Triggers)
- Issuing New Shares (Sec 62): When a company issue shares on a preferential basis (Private Placement) to select investors for cash or consideration other than cash.
- Mergers & Demergers (Sec 230-232): When two entities merge or demerge, a Valuation report is required to justify the "Swap Ratio" to the NCLT and shareholders.
- Buying Out Minorities (Sec 236): When a majority shareholder acquires the remaining shares, the exit price must be determined by a Registered Valuer.
- Assets Swaps with Directors (Sec 192): When a company acquires assets from a director (or vice versa) for non-cash consideration, Valuation is mandatory to prevent conflict of interest.
- Sweat Equity Issuance (Sec 54): When shares are issued to employees or directors for non-cash contributions like technical know-how or value addition.
- Compromise with Creditors (Sec 230): When a company proposes a restructuring scheme with its creditors, a Valuation report must accompany the application to the Tribunal.
How Company Law Valuation Strengthens Board Decisions & Governance
Under the Companies Act, Valuation goes beyond compliance—it supports sound board decisions, shareholder fairness, and long-term governance. A well-reasoned Valuation acts as an objective reference for key corporate actions.
- Board-Level Decision Support: Provides directors with an independent benchmark for approving share issuances, restructurings, and related-party transactions, supporting fiduciary responsibility.
- Shareholder Fairness & Transparency: Ensures fair allocation of economic value among shareholders, investors, and exiting stakeholders, reducing disputes and trust gaps.
- Audit & Due Diligence Readiness: Creates a reliable Valuation record relied upon during statutory audits, secretarial audits, and transaction due diligence.
- Consistency Across Corporate Actions: Aligns Valuation logic across preferential allotments, mergers, sweat equity, and buyouts, ensuring consistency in board and statutory records.
- Future-Ready Governance Records: Valuations prepared under Section 247 become part of the company’s permanent governance record, often referenced in future audits or reviews.
What is Company Law Valuation?
Company Law Valuation refers to the independent determination of fair value for specific corporate actions under the Companies Act, 2013, such as share issuances, mergers, demergers, restructurings, and other regulated transactions. This statutory Valuation framework supports transparency, governance, and regulatory compliance in significant corporate decisions.
Under Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013, Valuations for prescribed purposes are required to be conducted by an IBBI Registered Valuer. It serves as an important governance and regulatory document, supporting transaction pricing, share exchange ratios, and allotment prices placed before Boards, shareholders, the Registrar of Companies (ROC), and the NCLT, as applicable. Such Valuations assist directors in demonstrating fiduciary responsibility and support fair treatment of shareholders in corporate restructuring and fundraising exercises.
