1. Short title and commencement.
(a) These Guidelines may be called the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Use of Limitations, Caveats and Disclaimers in Valuation Reports) Guidelines, 2020.
(b) These Guidelines shall come into force in respect of valuation reports in respect of valuations completed by Registered Valuers (RVs) on or after 1st October, 2020.
2. Background (a) The Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 (Rules) provides a comprehensive framework for development and regulation of the profession of valuers. These Rules set standards of professional conduct and performance for the valuation profession in the interest of stakeholders. (b) Rule 2 of the Rules mandates that the RVs shall state ‘caveats, limitations and disclaimers’ to the extent they explain or elucidate the limitations faced by valuer, which shall not be for the purpose of limiting his responsibility for the valuation report. This Rule aims to ensure that a valuation report does not carry a disclaimer, which has potential to dilute the responsibility of the Valuer or makes the valuation unsuitable for the purpose for which the valuation was conducted. However, the scope of ‘caveats, limitations and disclaimers’ is not clear to everyone, including users and RVs, and consequently, the RVs are having different practices in presentation of caveats, limitations and disclaimers in valuation reports. (c) The Authority constituted a Committee of Experts comprising Mr. Rajan Wadhawan, Mr. Sunil Agarwal and Mr. Jigesh Mehta to develop a standard template for disclaimers. The Committee of Experts submitted its report to the Authority on 07th April, 2020, which was considered by the Authority in consultation with the Registered Valuers Organisations (RVOs) for finalisation of these Guidelines.
