MCA notifies amendments to the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017: introduction of minimum capital requirement for registered valuer organisations
Key Highlights of the Amendment Rules:
- Introduction of Minimum Paid-Up Capital Requirement for Registered Valuer Organisations: Rule 12(1)(i) of the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 has been substituted to require every registered valuer organisation registered under section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956 or section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 to maintain a minimum paid-up share capital of INR 25 lakh.
- Retention of Existing Eligibility Conditions for Registered Valuer Organisations: The amendment retains the requirement that a registered valuer organisation must have the sole object of dealing with matters relating to regulation of valuers of one or more asset classes. It also continues to require that the organisation’s bye-laws contain the requirements specified under Annexure III of the Rules.
- Transition Period for Existing Registered Valuer Organisations: Recognising that existing registered valuer organisations may not presently satisfy the enhanced capital requirement, the amendment provides a grandfathering period. Any registered valuer organisation that does not have the prescribed minimum paid-up share capital as on the commencement of the Amendment Rules is required to comply with the requirement on or before March 31, 2028.
