What is Registered Valuer ?
Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013 mandates that all valuations required under Act shall be carried out by Registered Valuers only. Similarly, as per Insolvency and Bankrupcy Code, only Registered Valuers shall be eligible to carry out the valuations. Insolvency & Bankrupcy Board of India (IBBI) shall be the Authority to grant licenses to act as Registered Valuers.
CA Anandkumar Gawade, Managing Partner of the Firm is IBBI Registered Valuer for Securities or Financial Assets Class. His Registration Number is IBBI/RV/05/2019/10746.
I also would like to bring to your notice circular of IBBI dated 17th October 2018 which mandates as under :
“In view of the above, every valuation required under the Code or any of the regulations made there under is required to be conducted by a ‘registered valuer’, that is, a valuer registered with the IBBI under the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. It is hereby directed that with effect from 1st February, 2019, no insolvency professional shall appoint a person other than a registered valuer to conduct any valuation under the Code or any of the regulations made there under.”
Hence the Valuation Reports under Companies Act, 2013 after 1st Feb 2019 has to be obtained from Registered Valuers registered with IBBI only.
