Moreover beneath the companies act 2013 the valuation might be classified as the pre-transaction valuation, i.e., the transaction is entered into based on value certified by the valuer, and post-transaction valuation i.e., the transaction is completed much later than the valuation date.
ICAI states that an individual shall not have the date of valuation post to the date of the reported signing.
Beneath IBC the challenge shall be the same that is the gap among the events. Beneath IBC a valuer is needed to provide the valuation as on the corporate Insolvency Resolution (CIRP)
but resolution plans usually are accepted on a much later date than the CIRP date.
Moreover, the law shall not be specified any duration for which the valuation report shall remain valid. It lefts with an entitlement of the resolution Expert or Committee of Creditors to decide that till what time the valuation report shall leave relevant and when they required to furnish the amended valuation
