What Is an IBBI Registered Valuer? (And How to Verify One)
An IBBI Registered Valuer is a professional certified by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India to determine the fair value of assets under the Companies Act 2013 and IBC. Axium Valuation Services holds IBBI Entity Registration IBBI/RV-E/04/2021/144, eligible for both the Land & Building and Plant & Machinery asset classes.
What an IBBI Registered Valuer does
The role exists under Section 247 of the Companies Act 2013, which requires that certain asset valuations be conducted by a person registered with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI). Registration is not a single blanket qualification, it is issued per asset class, and a valuer is only authorised to certify values within the class or classes they hold. This is what "registered" actually means in practice: a scoped authorisation, not a general credential.
The three IBBI asset classes, compared
| Asset class | What it covers | Axium's registration |
|---|---|---|
| Land & Building | Real estate, land, buildings and infrastructure assets | Covered under Entity Registration IBBI/RV-E/04/2021/144 |
| Plant & Machinery | Industrial machinery, equipment and production assets | Covered under Entity Registration IBBI/RV-E/04/2021/144 |
| Securities or Financial Assets | Shares, securities, and business/enterprise valuation | Not held by Axium |
How to verify a registered valuer's credentials
A genuine Certificate of Registration states the valuer's or entity's name, registration number, and the specific asset class it covers. The most reliable way to verify a valuer's credentials is to check the registration number directly against IBBI's public registry, or to request the certificate directly from the valuer. See our full registrations page and our guide to what a Registered Valuer Certificate proves for more. Axium's Entity Registration, IBBI/RV-E/04/2021/144, covering both Land & Building and Plant & Machinery, is available on request and verifiable against the public registry.
Why the credential matters for lenders, auditors and tribunals
A valuation report is only useful if it holds up when someone other than the client reviews it: a bank's credit committee, a statutory auditor, a tax authority, or an NCLT bench. IBBI registration establishes the statutory basis for that scrutiny: it confirms the valuer met the education, experience and examination requirements for the specific asset class in question.
