RBI Issues New Valuation Norms for InvIT and REIT Units

The Reserve Bank of India has established specific valuation norms for regulated entities that hold unquoted units of Infrastructure Investment Trusts and Real Estate Investment Trusts. These guidelines are designed to bring greater consistency and transparency to the valuation process for these financial instruments across the sector.

The Valuation Framework

Under the new framework, regulated entities are required to follow a standardized approach to determine the fair value of their holdings. This process reduces ambiguity and ensures that the reported values accurately reflect the underlying assets.

Broader Regulatory Objectives

This move forms a core part of the central bank’s broader effort to strengthen risk management and financial reporting standards across the regulated financial sector. The guidelines ultimately aim to align reporting practices for these specialized trust units.
