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.

Frequently Asked Questions
When must the conversion price be fixed?
Under FEMA, the price or conversion formula must be fixed upfront at issue. Under the Companies Act rules, the conversion price is fixed either upfront or not earlier than 30 days before the holder becomes entitled to convert, on a registered valuer's report.
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.
