Setting up · injecting capital · restructuring
When capital comes into a Chinese entity, someone has to confirm it actually arrived, from the entity that was supposed to send it, into the right account, in the form that was registered. That confirmation is the capital verification report, and it is what your bank and the foreign-exchange bureau ask for.
Timing
The old blanket requirement is gone, but the situations below still trigger it. If you are in one of them, you will be asked for the report before the transaction completes.
Where the industry or the registration still requires paid-in capital, or where the shareholders have committed to a paid-in schedule.
Banks frequently require a capital verification report before capital-account funds are converted into RMB or applied to their registered use.
Any change to registered capital or shareholding usually needs the position verified first.

FAQ
The 2014 reform moved most domestic companies to a subscription system. It did not remove capital verification where it is still needed: regulated industries, non-cash contributions, capital-account fund use, and most changes to registered capital.
