MCA Mandates ₹25 Lakh Minimum Capital for Registered Valuer Organisations

Notification No. G.S.R. 432(E); Dated 01.06.2026

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has amended the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 to strengthen the governance and operational framework applicable to Registered Valuer Organisations (RVOs).

The amendments introduce minimum capital requirements, restrict the objects of RVOs and prescribe enhanced governance requirements through mandatory bye-laws.

1. Minimum Paid-Up Share Capital Increased to ₹25 Lakh

Under the amended rules, every Registered Valuer Organisation (RVO) is required to maintain a minimum paid-up share capital of ₹25 lakh.

The requirement is intended to ensure adequate financial strength and institutional capacity of organisations engaged in the regulation and development of registered valuers.

2. Existing RVOs Granted Transition Period

The MCA has provided a transition period for existing Registered Valuer Organisations to comply with the revised capital requirement.

Accordingly, existing RVOs have been given time up to: 31 March 2028

to meet the minimum paid-up share capital requirement of ₹25 lakh.

3. Sole Object Requirement Introduced

The amendment further provides that an RVO must have the sole object of dealing with matters relating to the regulation of valuers.

The organisation may undertake activities relating to:

• A particular asset class; or
• Multiple asset classes

for which it is recognised under the valuation framework.

This requirement seeks to ensure that RVOs remain focused on their core regulatory and professional development functions.

4. Mandatory Bye-Laws Prescribed

The amended rules also require every RVO to maintain bye-laws containing prescribed requirements.

The bye-laws are expected to govern matters such as:

• Membership and eligibility criteria;
• Governance and administration;
• Professional standards;
• Disciplinary mechanisms;
• Monitoring and compliance functions; and
• Other operational requirements prescribed under the Rules.

5. Objective of the Amendments

The amendments aim to strengthen the institutional framework governing Registered Valuer Organisations by enhancing their financial capacity, ensuring greater organisational focus and improving governance standards.

By prescribing minimum capital requirements, introducing a sole-object criterion and mandating robust bye-laws, MCA seeks to promote professionalism, accountability and effective regulation of the valuation profession under the Companies Act framework.
