अनिवार्य ACV एजेंसी सत्यापन और पुनः सत्यापन लागत (Mandatory ACV Verification & Re-Verification Costs)
Definition
GHG emission reports must be verified by BEE-accredited ACV agencies (per Accreditation Procedure, July 2024). BEE retains discretionary right to re-verify within 1 year of report submission or 6 months of CCC issuance (whichever is later). Re-verification fees are borne by the obligated entity and can equal 40–60% of initial audit cost.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹5–20 lakhs per verification cycle for ACV agency fees; ₹2–8 lakhs per re-verification (estimated 15–25% of projects re-verified)
- Frequency: Annual (per compliance year); re-verification if errors detected
- Root Cause: Mandatory third-party verification requirement; no in-house verification option; BEE's 1-year re-check window; complex GHG calculation methodologies leading to data quality issues
