Who can sign this?

This work is legally reserved. It must be performed and signed by a Registered Valuer (IBBI — Securities or Financial Assets). A professional outside that registration cannot sign it, and a report signed by the wrong professional does not satisfy the filing.

Which law governs this?

Companies Act 2013 s.62(1)(c) + Rule 13(1); Rule 16(1)(c); Rule 8. Where a figure or requirement here differs from other published guidance, the statute governs — several thresholds in Indian startup compliance changed materially in 2025 and 2026.
