About this funding solution
Not every valuation need calls for the same professional or method — Companies Act and IBC valuations require an IBBI Registered Valuer, Income Tax Rule 11UA valuations need a SEBI-registered Merchant Banker for the DCF route (or a Chartered Accountant for NAV), and FEMA pricing for foreign investment accepts either a Merchant Banker or a practising CA.
Getting this match wrong is the single most common reason a valuation report gets rejected by a regulator or auditor — so we start by identifying the exact statutory purpose before assigning the professional and method.
Under IBBI valuation standards, three approaches — Income, Market and Asset — must all be considered for a defensible report, even where one method ultimately drives the concluded value. For ESOP perquisite tax purposes specifically, the Merchant Banker FMV certificate must be dated within 180 days of exercise.
*Single-purpose Registered Valuer reports from ~₹25,000; Merchant Banker DCF reports from ~₹65,000; multi-framework engagements (Companies Act + FEMA + Income Tax together) can run ₹2,00,000+.
