MCA Tightens RVO Norms: Rs 25 Lakh Capital Requirement Introduced Under Valuation Rules Amendment 2026
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced certain key changes to the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The amended rules will now be called the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Amendment Rules, 2026, effective from the date of publication of the aforesaid notification in the Official Gazette.
The amendment revises the eligibility requirements for seeking recognition as Registered Valuer Organisations (RVOs). Under the revised rules, an RVO must be registered as a Section 8 company under the Companies Act, 2013, or under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956.
The amended provisions require such organisations to have a minimum paid-up share capital of Rs 25 lakh. In addition, the organisation’s sole objective must be to deal with matters related to the regulation of valuers for one or more asset classes. The organisation must also have bye-laws that comply with the requirements specified in Annexure III of the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017.
Recognising that some existing Registered Valuer Organisations may not currently meet the new capital requirement, the government has provided a transition period. Any RVO that does not have the prescribed minimum paid-up capital as of the commencement of the amendment rules will be required to comply with the Rs 25 lakh capital requirement on or before March 31, 2028.
The Central Government has made the aforementioned amendments in the said rule in exercise of its powers granted under section 247, read with sections 458,459 and 469 of the Companies Act 2013, and has officially announced the same via Notification No. G.S.R. 432(E), dated June 01, 2026.
Initially, these rules were published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (i), via a Notification No. G.S.R. 1316(E), dated October 18, 2017 and the last amendment introduced to the initial notification was via GSB 925(E) dated September 25, 2018.
