FAQs on Registered Valuers Registration

The CEV Group presented a video explaining frequently asked questions about registered valuers for individual applicants, based on a document uploaded by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) on October 1, 2021. The presentation covered six key points, including general questions about valuers, eligibility requirements, educational qualifications and experience, mandatory courses, valuation examination details, and the application process. The video aimed to clarify doubts and provide up-to-date information to assist aspiring valuers in their registration process.

Registered Valuer Eligibility and Registration

The discussion focused on the eligibility criteria and registration process for becoming a registered valuer under the Companies Act 2013 and Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016. CEV explained the requirements, including being a member of a registered valuer organization (RVO), completing a 50-hour education course, passing a valuation examination, and meeting fitness and properness criteria. They clarified that while registered valuers can undertake valuations under specific acts, unregistered valuers can continue under other laws. The process involves enrolling with an RVO, undertaking education, passing exams, submitting applications, and paying fees. Conditions for registration include maintaining compliance with rules, not conducting valuations outside registered asset classes, and addressing grievances.

Valuer Registration Eligibility Criteria

The discussion focused on eligibility criteria for registration as a valuer in India, including educational qualifications and experience requirements. It was clarified that applicants must have a specified postgraduate degree or equivalent professional qualification, along with relevant experience, to be eligible for registration. The conversation also addressed the importance of providing a final degree certificate rather than a provisional one, and the need to confirm specialization through official documentation from the educational institution. It was noted that self-declaration is not accepted for establishing specialization, and there is no specific list of recognized Indian universities.

Eligibility Criteria for Registered Valuers

The discussion focused on eligibility criteria for registration as a registered valuer for different asset classes. It was clarified that an MBA degree recognized in 2007 does not make an applicant eligible for registration if the degree was not recognized at the time the course was undertaken. For asset class land and building, a commerce graduate with a postgraduate degree in real estate valuation and over five years of experience in valuation for the said asset class is eligible for registration. However, if the postgraduate degree in real estate valuation was completed after the five years of experience, the applicant would not be eligible.

Valuer Registration Eligibility Criteria

The discussion focused on eligibility criteria for registration as a registered valuer for different asset classes. CEV explained that for plant and machinery valuations, a BE mechanical applicant requires postgraduate education and relevant experience after obtaining the degree. For land and building valuations, a BArch applicant is eligible if they have the required experience after completing their qualification. CEV clarified that a chartered accountant with experience in financial securities is eligible for registration as a valuer for securities or financial assets, regardless of their graduation status. The discussion also covered that only applicants with an MBA in finance, including those from foreign universities, are eligible for registration as valuers for securities or financial assets.

Foreign Degree and Experience Documentation

The discussion focused on the requirements for foreign degree recognition and experience documentation for valuation registration. The Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD) recognizes foreign qualifications equated by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), requiring applicants to submit an AIU equivalence certificate. For experience verification, documentary proof including service certificates, client confirmations, and ITRs are required, with specific requirements for different types of employment and professional services. The 50-hour mandatory education course, conducted by RVOs, is mandatory for all applicants regardless of age, and passing the online valuation examination within 36 months of the course completion is required for registration.

IBBI Valuer Registration Process Overview

The discussion covered the registration process for registered valuers, including application submission, fee payment, and timelines. It was clarified that applications must be submitted online, with a non-refundable fee of Rs. 5,000 plus GST, and any discrepancies or queries must be addressed within 21 days to avoid rejection. The process involves creating a user account on the IBBI portal, submitting personal and professional details, and uploading supporting documents. After review, if the application complies with the eligibility conditions, it is recommended for registration, and the applicant is intimated of the approval, with a registration number granted and details published on the IBBI website.

BEST RVO TO JOIN TO BECOME A REGISTERED VALUER UNDER COMPANIES ACT-2013

To register with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) as a valuer, individuals need to meet specific eligibility criteria, primarily focused on experience rather than age-based exemptions from exams. While age is a factor, it’s not a barrier to registration if other requirements are met.
