A registered valuer's report — for the value that saves you tax.
Whether you're selling, inheriting or reporting Indian property, the number that matters is a defensible fair market value. Our valuations are led by a registered valuer, so the report stands up — to the Indian tax department and to the IRS.

Why it matters
The right valuation saves lakhs — the wrong one costs you
Two big levers turn on a valuation. In India, for property acquired before 1 April 2001, you can use its fair market value on that date as your cost of acquisition — cutting your capital gain. In the US, if you're a US person who inherited Indian property, your cost basis is the fair market value at the date of death — a valuation locks in a step-up that can save large US capital-gains tax later, and you need that figure for Form 3520.
A registered valuer's report is the legally-valid evidence for both — with methodology, comparables and the relevant stamp-duty data, so it holds up under scrutiny.

What we value, and why
One report, many uses
The situations where a defensible FMV changes what you pay.
FMV as on 1 April 2001 (India CGT)
For property acquired before 1 April 2001, substitute the FMV as on 1 April 2001 for the original cost — often far higher, so your taxable gain drops (capped at the 2001 stamp-duty value). See our FMV 2001 guide.
For US persons: step-up basis & Form 3520
Inherited Indian property as a US person? Your US cost basis is the FMV at the date of death — a valuation locks in a step-up that can save large US capital-gains tax when you sell, and Form 3520 needs that FMV for inheritances over $100,000. As US reporting tightens, this is fast-growing. Pairs with tax filing from the USA.
Lower-TDS certificate support
A credible valuation strengthens your Form 13 application, so TDS is cut to your real gain, not the gross sale value.
Probate & succession
Wills, probate and estate division need a valuation of the Indian property — it dovetails with our will & succession service.
Repatriation, gifting, loans & disputes
FEMA repatriation, gifting, bank loans, insurance and family settlements all need a defensible FMV. One report, many purposes.

Property valuation questions, answered
Who carries out the valuation?
Our valuations are led by a registered valuer, so the report is legally-valid evidence for the Indian tax department and acceptable for US filings. [[Registering authority and registration number to be confirmed by Rohit; asset class: Land and Building.]]
What is the FMV as on 1 April 2001, and why does it matter?
For property acquired before 1 April 2001, you can use its fair market value on that date as your cost of acquisition instead of the (often tiny) original cost — which reduces your taxable gain. The value is capped at the 2001 stamp-duty value, and a registered valuer's report substantiates it.
I'm a US citizen who inherited property in India — do I need a valuation?
Almost certainly. Your US cost basis is the fair market value at the date of death, so a valuation locks in a step-up that lowers your future US capital-gains tax — and you'll need that FMV to report the inheritance on Form 3520 (required over $100,000). We provide the India-side report your US preparer needs.
Is the report legally valid?
Yes — a registered valuer's report carries evidentiary weight with the Income-tax Department and is the standard support for capital-gains, probate and cross-border filings. It includes methodology, comparables and the relevant stamp-duty / circle-rate data.
Can you value it if I'm abroad?
Yes — we coordinate the inspection and documentation in India and deliver the report to you and your tax adviser wherever you are.
