Valuing shares issued to or bought from a German parent

CA Utsav Dogra, Chartered Accountant, ICAI M. No. 542375 · Updated

In brief

Shares issued to a German investor may not be priced below fair value, and when a resident buys shares from that investor the price may not exceed fair value. Fair value uses an internationally accepted method, certified by a Chartered Accountant, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a registered valuer depending on the case.

What is specific to German companies

German parents often need IDW-standard valuations for their own purposes; the FEMA certificate is separate and in rupees.

Questions

Is a valuation needed at incorporation?

Subscription to the memorandum at face value on incorporation does not need a valuation. Later issues do.

General information as at 5 November 2026, not advice for a particular case. Indian and German rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. German law points should be confirmed with a German adviser.
