Verify Rao Valuers: IBBI-Registered for Your Valuations
As Parish Rao, Founder and Director of Rao Valuers, formerly known as Rao Associates, I often hear from people needing a valuation for something important. Maybe it is for a bank loan, a court case, or an embassy for a visa application. The first thing they ask is, "How do I know your valuation will be accepted?"
As Parish Rao, Founder and Director of Rao Valuers, formerly known as Rao Associates, I often hear from people needing a valuation for something important. Maybe it is for a bank loan, a court case, or an embassy for a visa application. The first thing they ask is, "How do I know your valuation will be accepted?"
The answer is simple: government approval. In India, for many critical purposes, a valuation must come from an IBBI-registered valuer. IBBI stands for the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India. They are the regulatory body that registers and oversees valuers in India.
Why does a government-approved valuation matter?
When you need a valuation for banks, courts, embassies, or tax authorities, it is not just about getting a number. It is about getting a number that holds up to scrutiny. Valuations for these official purposes must be prepared by an IBBI-registered valuer. This ensures credibility, legal enforceability, and acceptance by the authorities. Without it, your report could be rejected, causing delays and headaches.

What does an IBBI-compliant valuation report look like? (Sample download)
An IBBI-compliant valuation report follows specific rules and standards set by the IBBI (Valuation) Rules, 2017. It includes mandatory valuation standards, methodology, and a signed compliance statement. Rao Valuers adheres strictly to the International Valuation Standards (IVS) published by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and the RICS Valuation Global Standards (Red Book), as mandated by IBBI guidelines, ensuring globally recognized best practices.
We offer a redacted, professional sample report so you can see exactly what an IBBI-compliant valuation looks like. This sample is a genuine redacted copy of a real IBBI-compliant valuation.

Can I get a valuation for embassy or visa purposes? What is the turnaround time?
Yes, we specialize in valuations for embassy or visa applications. We provide embassy-specific valuation reports accepted by visa authorities for countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and Schengen states. These reports are prepared in English and meet the specific formatting requirements of the destination country.
The typical turnaround time for a standard embassy report is 24-48 hours. For urgent requests, such as same-day delivery, we can often accommodate them. This depends on the scope of the valuation, so please discuss your specific needs with us.
What are the legal implications of using an unregistered valuer?
Using a valuer who is not IBBI-registered carries significant risks. Non-IBBI reports may be rejected by banks, courts, and government agencies. This can lead to delays in your financial transactions, legal proceedings, or visa applications. For many regulatory purposes, only an IBBI-registered valuer can legally sign certain reports. It is crucial to ensure your valuation is done by a recognized professional to avoid future complications.
