Property Valuation Certificate
An independent valuation that stands up to scrutiny.
A property valuation certificate is a formal assessment of a property's market value by a registered valuer. Banks require it for loan sanction, the income tax department for capital gains computation, embassies for visa financial documents, and courts for litigation and partition matters.

What Property Valuation is, and who it applies to
Valuation is a regulated activity. Reports for most statutory purposes must come from a valuer registered with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India under the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, or from a valuer approved under the erstwhile Wealth Tax Act, depending on the purpose. A report from someone without the appropriate registration will be rejected where registration is required.
The purpose shapes the report. A bank loan valuation focuses on realisable and distress sale values because the lender is assessing security. A capital gains valuation often requires the fair market value as on a historical date — commonly 1 April 2001 — for indexation. A visa valuation needs current market value with supporting comparables. A litigation valuation must be defensible under cross-examination.
A proper valuation involves a physical site inspection, verification of title and approved plans, measurement of built-up area, assessment of construction quality and age, and analysis of comparable transactions in the locality along with applicable circle rates. Desk valuations produced without inspection are cheap and frequently worthless for the purpose they were commissioned for.
The report sets out the methodology used, the comparables relied on, depreciation applied to the structure, and a reasoned conclusion. That reasoning is what gives the report its weight — a bare figure with no supporting analysis satisfies nobody.

Why it matters
Accepted by banks
Reports from registered valuers are accepted by banks and financial institutions for loan sanction.
Tax computation support
Fair market value as on a historical date, properly supported, for capital gains and indexation.
Defensible in litigation
A reasoned report with stated methodology holds up where a bare figure does not.

Property Valuation — frequently asked questions
Who is qualified to issue a property valuation certificate?
For most statutory purposes, a valuer registered with the IBBI under the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, or a valuer approved under the erstwhile Wealth Tax Act, depending on the purpose. Banks also maintain their own panels of approved valuers. We confirm which registration your purpose requires before starting — a report from the wrong category of valuer is simply rejected.
How long does a valuation report take?
Five to ten working days for a residential property, longer for commercial or industrial. The main variables are scheduling the site inspection and obtaining any missing title documents.
Do you need to physically visit the property?
Yes. A physical inspection is essential for a credible report — the valuer measures the property, assesses construction quality and age, and observes the locality. Desk valuations without inspection are cheap and usually rejected for the purposes people commission them for.
I need the value as on 1 April 2001 for capital gains. Can you do that?
Yes. Retrospective fair market value as on a historical date is common work for capital gains and indexation. It relies on historical circle rates and comparable transactions from that period, and the methodology has to be set out clearly because these reports do attract scrutiny during assessment.
Will the bank accept your report?
Reports from registered valuers are generally accepted. Some banks require a valuer from their own empanelled list, so tell us which bank you are dealing with and we will confirm the position before starting rather than after.
Can I get a valuation for agricultural land?
Yes. Agricultural land valuation considers soil quality, irrigation, road access, current use and any development potential. It is a different analysis from urban property and we assign a valuer with the relevant experience.
