Merchant Banker Valuation Services

Certain transactions require valuation to be carried out by a SEBI-registered Merchant Banker as per regulatory requirements. These valuations are not just financial estimates. They are compliance-driven reports that must follow prescribed methods, documentation standards, and legal provisions.

At N D Savla & Associates, we provide structured support for merchant banker valuation by assisting clients with preparation, coordination, and end-to-end handling of valuation requirements. Whether it is for share issue, transfer, FEMA compliance, or regulatory reporting, we help ensure the valuation process is handled properly.

Our role is to simplify the process, align documentation, and ensure the valuation requirement is met with clarity and compliance.

What is Merchant Banker Valuation?

Merchant banker valuation refers to valuation carried out by a SEBI-registered merchant banker where it is specifically required under law or regulation. This type of valuation is often mandatory in certain cases and cannot be replaced by a regular CA valuation.

It is commonly required for:

• issue of shares (especially at premium)

• valuation under Rule 11UA

• FEMA compliance for cross-border transactions

• share transfer between residents and non-residents

• startup valuation for investment

• preferential allotment

• ESOP and equity structuring

• regulatory and compliance-driven transactions

The valuation must follow prescribed methods such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) or other accepted approaches depending on the case.

Why Merchant Banker Valuation is Important

Here’s the thing. In many cases, valuation is not optional.

Where regulations specifically require a merchant banker valuation, using the correct professional is critical. Incorrect or non-compliant valuation can lead to:

• rejection of filings

• tax implications

• regulatory issues

• penalties or disputes

• delays in transactions

Proper merchant banker valuation helps:

• meet statutory and regulatory requirements

• support transaction credibility

• ensure correct pricing of shares or assets

• reduce compliance risk

• align documentation with legal expectations
