    As far as what they do there is no difference, and both support weight loading above them. Shape wise a lintel is usually flat compared to the curved shape of an arch.

    As far as what they do there is no difference, and both support weight loading above them. Shape wise a lintel is usually flat compared to the curved shape of an arch. Strength wise the arch is far superior and only compresses more the greater the loading, compared with a lintel that has limitations to what it will hold before failing due to compression.

    Having said that most lintels carry very little weight anyway as it is spread out through the interlocking of stone, block, or brick and the only weight it actually carries can be measured by drawing a line at 45° from each end of the lintel until they cross in the centre above it and what its actual loading is. Beyond that, the wall supports its own weight and that above it providing something supports the interlocking material and how the Victorians managed to support mass weight purely on timber lintels only 3 inches thick. With lintels, span becomes an issue very quickly much less so with an arch

    First of all,

    let’s discuss what exactly the meaning of government-approved valuer.


    Government-approved valuer :

    • The value was may be individual or partnership introduce your company would be essentially required to be registered with authority specified by the central government.

    Most Important Information :

    • The registered valuers should be a member of the registered valuer’s Organisations( RVOs), that are recognised by the authority.

    Not coming towards, how to become a government valuer.

    In India, three categories of registered valuers. They are as follows ;

    • Land and Building Valuer
    • Plant and Machinery Valuer
    • Securities or Financial Assets Valuer

    Here, I mainly concentrate on the step number one that is eligibility criteria of the candidate who wish to become a government valuer in detail.

    STEP I – QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE :

    As per rule 4,( Annexure-IV) of the companies (registered valuers and valuation) Rules, 2017 an individual shall have the following qualification and experience to be eligible for registration as registered valuer :

    1. UG + 5 years post qualification experience, or
    2. PG + 3 years post qualification experience, or
    3. Membership of a professional Institute + three years post-grad qualification experience

    Other eligibility criteria as under:

    • A person is not a minor
    • A person should be resident in India(As per clause V of section 2 (foreign exchange management act, 1999{ 42 of 1999})
    • A person is mentally and physically fit.
    • A person has not been levied a penalty under section 271J of Income Tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961).

    I hope so your doubt regard in the first step is clear. Thank you for asking a question.
