SARFAESI • PAINTINGS AS COLLATERAL

SARFAESI Painting Collateral — Market Value & Distressed Sale Value

When authenticated Indian paintings are accepted as security for a loan, the enforcement valuation cannot rely on a generic property valuation model. The painting’s artist, attribution, authentication, auction history, condition and market liquidity directly influence the amount that can realistically be realised.

A2Z Valuers provides Government Approved Painting Valuation for SARFAESI enforcement requirements, including independent assessment of Market Value (MV) and Distressed Sale Value (DSV) based on the specific painting and its secondary-market liquidity.

ENFORCEMENT VALUATION SARFAESI

A valuation built around realisation risk.

The value of a painting as collateral depends not only on its assessed FMV, but also on how quickly and realistically the asset can be sold in the relevant market.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Two Values. One Enforcement Decision.

SARFAESI painting collateral requires the valuation to distinguish between the current market evidence and the value that may realistically be achieved under a time-sensitive enforcement scenario.

01
MARKET VALUE

Establishing the Current Auction-Market Value

The Market Value is established using relevant auction comparables and available market evidence for the artist, school, period, medium, subject, size and quality of the painting.

  • Artist and attribution
  • Documented auction history
  • Condition and provenance
  • Comparable auction results
CURRENT MARKET EVIDENCE
02
DISTRESSED SALE VALUE

Applying the Specific Liquidity Discount

The Distressed Sale Value reflects the expected realisation where the painting must be sold within a more constrained period. The discount is determined from the painting’s specific market liquidity profile.

  • PAG blue-chip liquidity
  • Indian modern buyer depth
  • Miniature painting market
  • Authentication uncertainty
ENFORCEMENT REALISATION
03
COLLATERAL RISK

Accounting for Attribution & Authentication Risk

A painting with unresolved attribution or authentication can carry materially different enforcement risk from a fully authenticated work with established auction records.

  • Original vs attributed work
  • Authentication documentation
  • Provenance strength
  • Condition and marketability
RISK-ADJUSTED ASSESSMENT
The DSV is not simply a fixed percentage of MV. It must reflect the specific painting’s market depth, authentication position and realistic enforcement realisation conditions.
