ICAI REGISTERED VALUERS ORGANISATION

What ICAI REGISTERED VALUERS ORGANISATION does

ICAI Registered Valuers Organisation (ICAI RVO) is a Section 8 non-profit company formed in 2017–2018 under the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). It is recognized by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) under Recognition No. IBBI/RVO/2018/006 as a Registered Valuer Organisation for all three prescribed asset classes: Securities or Financial Assets, Land and Building, and Plant and Machinery. The organization enrolls and regulates professionals who conduct statutory valuations under the Companies Act 2013 and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016.

Its core product is the mandatory 50-hour Educational Course required before candidates can sit the IBBI Valuation Examination, delivered through both an online Learning Management System (icairvolms.com) and physical classroom batches at ICAI locations. Complementary offerings include a Continuous Educational Programme (CEP) at ₹118/hour, Certificate of Practice (COP) training, a quarterly research journal ('The Valuation Perspective'), technical guides, valuation standards (ICAI Valuation Standards 2018), peer review and inspection services, and a member grievance redressal system. Underlying technology consists of the member portal with OTP-based authentication, online payment integration, and integration with NISM's certification portal for examination scheduling.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time fees (primary membership ₹5,000 + GST; educational courses ₹15,000–₹29,500 + GST depending on online/physical mode) and recurring annual subscriptions (Registered Valuer individual membership ₹10,000 + GST; RVE membership ₹25,000 + GST; CEP training and COP fees). The organization serves a long-tail of individual professionals — Chartered Accountants and finance professionals for the financial assets class, and engineers/architects for the land, building, plant and machinery classes — alongside partnership firms and companies registering as Registered Valuer Entities. Operations are run by a small team led by an Officiating CEO, with offices at ICAI Bhawan in New Delhi (registered) and Noida (corporate).
