Under a demerger of the textile division of Vindhya Ltd into a resulting company, shareholders of Vindhya receive shares in the resulting company. Who is generally required to give the valuation report supporting the share entitlement ratio for the scheme under the Companies Act, 2013 framework and SEBI requirements for listed entities?

The share entitlement ratio is supported by an independent registered valuer's report, and for a listed company a SEBI-registered merchant banker must also give a fairness opinion on that valuation. The ROC or RBI does not prepare it.
