Section 68 of the Companies Act 2013 read with the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules 2014 governs share buy-back. Section 115QA of the Income-tax Act levies buy-back tax of 20% (plus surcharge and cess) on the distributed income — until 30 September 2024. From 1 October 2024 (Finance (No. 2) Act 2024), buy-back proceeds are taxed in the hands of the shareholder as deemed dividend under Section 2(22)(f). A Registered Valuer report supports the buy-back price under Rule 17 — used to demonstrate fair-value compliance and to justify the price to dissenting shareholders.

Reading this guide locally — Vandalur businesses operate where in the residential with zoo and education anchors micro-market of Vandalur.
Business valuation in the Indian context operates at the intersection of multiple statutory and regulatory frameworks, no single one of which is exhaustive. The Income-tax Act 1961 contemplates fair market value at several junctures — Section 56(2)(viib) on receipt of share premium by a closely-held company, Section 56(2)(x) on receipt of property by any person without or for inadequate consideration, Section 50CA on transfer of unlisted shares below fair market value, Section 50B read with Rule 11UAE on slump sales, and Section 92 read with Rules 10A to 10T on international and specified domestic transactions. The Companies Act 2013 through Section 247 read with the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017 imposes a registered-valuer requirement on valuations under that Act, with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India operating as the registering authority and issuing the Valuation Standards 101 through 103. Ind AS 113 transposes IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement into the Indian accounting framework. The Vandalur taxpayer or company engaging with valuation must first identify which framework governs the exercise before any methodology selection.
The fair-value concept is not monolithic across the statutory landscape. Section 56(2)(viib) read with Rule 11UA defines fair market value through a prescribed mechanical formula in Rule 11UA(1)(c)(b) — book value of assets less liabilities, with specified adjustments — or through a discounted cash flow report under Rule 11UA(2) at the issuer's option. Ind AS 113 paragraph 9 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, with paragraph 24 elaborating the market-participant assumptions. IFRS 13 mirrors Ind AS 113 with identical core definition. The IBBI Valuation Standard 102 on valuation approaches adopts the IVS International Valuation Standards (RICS) framework, recognising market, income and cost approaches with sub-methodologies. The variation across statutes is not accidental — each framework serves a distinct policy purpose, and a single valuation report may need to address multiple definitions simultaneously where the same transaction triggers obligations under several statutes.
The International Valuation Standards 200 series on businesses and business interests, published by the IVS Council and adopted in modified form by IBBI through Valuation Standard 102, organises business-valuation methodologies into three approaches — the income approach (discounted cash flow, capitalisation of earnings), the market approach (guideline public-company method, comparable transaction method) and the cost approach (net asset value, adjusted book value). The standards do not prescribe a single methodology but require the valuer to select methodologies appropriate to the engagement, document the selection rationale, and triangulate the outputs. CFA Institute Equity Asset Valuation chapter on private company valuation provides a parallel framework with substantially overlapping methodology lists. Aswath Damodaran's framework on private company and start-up valuation extends the cost-of-capital build-up to incorporate size premia and specific-company-risk adjustments. The Vandalur valuation engagement should select methodologies grounded in the IVS taxonomy with explicit reference to the applicable standard.
The Finance Act 2017 substantially narrowed the specified-domestic-transactions framework under Section 92BA by removing transactions between related domestic parties from the ambit, retaining only transactions involving tax-holiday-claiming units. The amendment reduced the compliance burden on domestic groups but did not displace the underlying arm's length principle — domestic transactions remain subject to the general anti-avoidance framework, Section 56(2)(viib) and 56(2)(x) recharacterisation, and the substance-over-form jurisprudence. The Vandalur domestic group transacting intra-group must therefore continue to substantiate the fair value of the transactions even where Section 92BA no longer applies, using the valuation framework as the primary defence floor.
Section 92 of the Income-tax Act read with Rules 10A to 10T provides the arm's length pricing framework for international transactions and specified domestic transactions. The methodology choice under Rule 10B includes — comparable uncontrolled price method, resale price method, cost plus method, profit split method, transactional net margin method, and other method as prescribed under Rule 10AB. Each methodology has a defined applicability and a prescribed computational discipline. The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations provide the international benchmark from which the Indian framework substantially derives. The Vandalur entity engaged in international or specified domestic transactions must document the methodology selection per the Rule 10D documentation framework and file Form 3CEB as the report of the transactions and the methodology.
Intra-group business valuation transactions — share transfers between holding and subsidiary, slump sale to a related entity, asset transfer between sister concerns — operate at the intersection of business valuation and transfer pricing. The valuation establishes the underlying fair market value, and the transfer pricing analysis tests whether the pricing satisfies the arm's length principle. Where the two diverge, the assessment officer typically references the lower of the two as the operative value. The CFA Institute Equity Asset Valuation framework on private-company valuation observes that intra-group transactions require parallel valuation and transfer-pricing analysis to address both Sections 50CA, 56(2)(viib), 56(2)(x) and Section 92 simultaneously. The Vandalur group undertaking intra-group restructuring should commission an integrated valuation-and-transfer-pricing study.
Ind AS 113 paragraph 27 introduces the highest-and-best-use concept for non-financial assets, requiring the fair value to reflect the use that maximises the value of the asset or the group of assets and liabilities. The highest-and-best-use may differ from the current use where alternative uses are physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. For business valuation, the highest-and-best-use translates into the going-concern-versus-liquidation choice and the standalone-versus-combination choice. The IBBI Valuation Standard 102 incorporates the concept under approach selection. The Vandalur valuer addressing non-financial assets within the business-valuation engagement must explicitly test highest-and-best-use and document the rationale for the chosen use scenario.
Ind AS 113 paragraphs 91 through 99 prescribe comprehensive disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in financial statements. Disclosures include the fair value hierarchy level, the valuation techniques and inputs used, any change in valuation technique with reason, the quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 only), a reconciliation of opening and closing balances for Level 3 measurements, and the sensitivity analysis on significant unobservable inputs. The disclosure framework increases transparency and supports user assessment of measurement reliability. The Vandalur entity preparing Ind AS financial statements must align the valuation-report deliverables with the disclosure requirements, ensuring the report content supports the financial-statement disclosure without rework.
Ind AS 113 paragraph 73 prescribes the three-level fair value hierarchy that categorises inputs to valuation techniques into Level 1, 2 and 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 and the lowest to Level 3. The overall fair value classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Vandalur entity preparing financial statements under Ind AS must classify each fair-valued asset or liability into the appropriate hierarchy level and disclose the methodology, inputs and any transfers between levels per paragraph 93.
The IVS International Valuation Standards, published by the IVS Council and adopted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and other professional bodies, provide a global valuation framework that aligns substantially with IFRS 13 and Ind AS 113 on fair-value concepts. IVS 100 on valuation framework, IVS 101 on scope of work, IVS 102 on investigations and compliance, IVS 103 on reporting, IVS 104 on bases of value and IVS 105 on valuation approaches and methods constitute the general standards. The IVS 200 series addresses asset-specific topics. The IBBI Valuation Standards 101 through 103 derive substantially from the IVS framework with India-specific adaptations. The Vandalur valuer producing a report for cross-border purposes should cross-reference both IBBI and IVS standards to ensure international acceptability.
The Aswath Damodaran framework on valuation, articulated through The Dark Side of Valuation and Investment Valuation, has become a de facto methodological reference for Indian private-company and start-up valuation practice. The framework provides structured templates for cost-of-capital build-up, terminal-value computation, private-company adjustments (illiquidity discount, key-person discount, size premium) and start-up-specific approaches (probability-weighted scenarios, optionality valuation). The CFA Institute Equity Asset Valuation curriculum incorporates Damodaran's approach extensively. The IBBI Valuation Standard 102 references the framework indirectly through its approach taxonomy. The Vandalur valuer addressing private-company or start-up engagements should ground the methodology in the Damodaran framework with explicit working-paper references to support the discount-rate, terminal-value and adjustment-quantum decisions.
The CFA Institute Equity Asset Valuation, part of the Chartered Financial Analyst Program Level II and III curriculum, provides the most comprehensive single-volume reference on equity and business valuation methodology used in Indian practice. The curriculum covers discounted cash flow (free cash flow to firm, free cash flow to equity), residual income, market-based valuation (price multiples), private-company valuation (definitions of value, methodology selection, adjustments) and industry-specific valuation. The IBBI examination for registered valuers in the securities and financial assets class draws substantially from the CFA curriculum. The Vandalur valuer should maintain a current copy of the CFA Equity Asset Valuation volume and reference specific chapters in working papers and reports to demonstrate methodology grounding.
What Vandalur clients usually ask next: Where Vandalur differs: for the professional and salaried population of Vandalur navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.
Enterprise Value to Sales multiple — used where EBITDA is negative or volatile, typical in early-stage businesses and SaaS. Indian SaaS comparables trade at 4x-8x forward revenue.
Price-to-Earnings ratio — equity-value multiple computed as market price per share divided by earnings per share. Nifty 50 median P/E hovers around 22x-25x; sector spreads vary widely.
Price-to-Book ratio — equity-value multiple computed as market price per share divided by book value per share. Useful for banks and capital-intensive sectors where book value is meaningful.
Comparable Companies Analysis — relative-valuation approach using trading multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, P/E) of listed peer companies. Requires careful screening for size, growth, profitability, and geography to ensure functional comparability.
Precedent Transaction Analysis — relative-valuation approach using multiples observed in recent M&A transactions of similar businesses. Typically includes a control premium since transactions involve change-of-control, unlike CCA which uses minority-stake market prices.
Net Asset Value — book-based valuation method where equity value equals total assets minus total liabilities. Rule 11UA(1)(c)(b) prescribes book-NAV for unquoted equity in non-DCF contexts. Conservative floor for distress and holding-company valuations.
Discount for Lack of Marketability (DLOM) — reduction applied to the value of unlisted-company shares to reflect the absence of a ready market for sale. Indian valuation practice typically applies 20%-30% DLOM; ICAI Valuation Standard 103 governs.
Control Premium — premium paid over standalone fair value for acquiring a controlling stake (typically >50%). Reflects ability to direct operations, dividends and strategy. Indian M&A practice applies 20%-30% control premium based on Bloomberg M&A premium studies.
Section 56(2)(viib) — angel-tax provision taxing the excess of consideration received for issue of shares over FMV in the hands of the issuing company. A 10% deviation between issue price and FMV is permitted as safe-harbour under Rule 11UA second proviso.
DPIIT-recognised startup angel-tax exemption — Notification GSR 127(E) read with Section 56(2)(viib) proviso exempts DPIIT-recognised startups from angel tax provided paid-up capital plus share premium does not exceed ₹25 crore and the investor satisfies specified criteria.
Section 50CA — treats stamp-duty value as full value of consideration for transfer of unquoted shares where the actual consideration is less than the FMV computed under Rule 11UAA. Plugs the undervaluation route between related parties.
Rule 11UA(2) — prescribes the methods for determining FMV of unquoted equity shares for Section 56(2)(viib) purposes: either NAV method under sub-rule (1)(c)(b) or DCF method by a Category-1 SEBI-registered merchant banker. The DCF report is valid for 90 days from the date of the report for share-issuance purposes.

“Filed a preferential allotment of ₹14 crore at our SaaS company and FilingPro's Registered Valuer prepared the Rule 11UA(2) DCF report. Five-year projection, WACC of 18.4% with industry beta re-levered to our D/E, sensitivity grid disclosed. ROC and our investor's diligence team accepted without queries.”
“Buy-back of ₹6 crore under Section 68 — needed a defensible price. The team prepared NAV plus comparable-companies cross-check, included DLOM 22%, and walked our independent directors through the workings. Section 115QA buy-back tax computed correctly for the pre-1-October-2024 window.”
“Inbound FDI from a Singapore parent. Got the FEMA NDI Schedule I pricing certificate done with DCF + comparable companies — RBI single-master-form filing went through cleanly. Fair pricing opinion delivered in 9 working days.”
“Family share transfer at ₹100 per share when book value was ₹260. Section 50CA + Rule 11UAA workings prepared with full Excel model, transferee's Section 56(2)(x) exposure also documented. Defended at ITAT scrutiny — assessment dropped.”
“ESOP perquisite valuation for an unlisted entity at exercise — Black-Scholes done with peer-derived volatility and 4.2-year expected life. Section 192 TDS computed correctly and the perquisite booked under Section 17(2)(vi). DPIIT-recognised startup deferral under Section 192(1C) also evaluated.”
“Scheme of demerger under Sections 230-232 with NCLT — share-exchange ratio defended via NAV + DCF + market-price triangulation, fairness opinion separately obtained from Merchant Banker. NCLT did not raise a single valuation query during sanction hearing.”
