• Shareholder disputes over valuation
• Fair market value determination
• Disagreements in mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring cases
• Minority shareholder oppression claims
• Mismanagement of company assets affecting valuation

Understanding the Company Valuation Dispute Process

Filing a company valuation dispute in NCLT involves structured legal steps to ensure an accurate and just valuation. The process can be categorized into:

Voluntary Process (Initiated by Individuals/Companies)

• Shareholders or stakeholders voluntarily approach NCLT to resolve valuation disputes arising due to mergers, acquisitions, or exit strategies.
• Parties may seek an independent valuation to determine fair compensation.

Compulsory Process (Court-Mandated or Legally Enforced)

• Disputes referred by regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies.
• NCLT intervention in cases of fraud, mismanagement, or minority shareholder oppression.

Section 242: Powers of the Adjudicating Authority

• NCLT has the power to appoint independent valuation experts.
