What is CCPS valuation?
CCPS are preference shares that must convert into equity on set terms. Venture investors use them for liquidation preference and anti-dilution rights, which is why their value differs from the value of ordinary equity.
How does FEMA treat CCPS?
Under the Non-Debt Instruments Rules, 2019, preference shares count as equity instruments only if they are fully, compulsorily and mandatorily convertible. The price or conversion formula must be fixed upfront at the time of issue, and the price at conversion cannot be lower than the fair value worked out at the time of issue. Allotment to a non-resident is reported in Form FC-GPR within 30 days.
How are CCPS valued?
Because CCPS carry rights that equity does not, we allocate the company's equity value across share classes using the option-pricing method (OPM), the probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM) or the current-value method, and model the liquidation-preference waterfall. Where a recent round exists, we back-solve from its price.
For accounts, Ind AS 32 decides whether the CCPS are equity or a financial liability; liability-classified CCPS are then measured at fair value under Ind AS 109.
