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.
What does the Companies Act require for CCPS?
CCPS issued by preferential allotment need a special resolution and a registered valuer's report (section 62(1)(c) read with Rule 13 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014). For convertible securities, the price of the shares issued on conversion must be fixed either upfront when the CCPS are offered or not earlier than 30 days before the holder becomes entitled to convert, on the basis of the registered valuer's report.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are CCPS treated as equity under FEMA?
Yes, if they are fully, compulsorily and mandatorily convertible; partly or optionally convertible preference shares are treated as debt under FEMA.
Is the CCPS value the same as the equity value per share?
Usually not. Liquidation preference and other rights make CCPS worth more per share than common equity, which is why share-class allocation methods are used.
