Immovable Property Capital Gain Valuers
Residential plots, agricultural land, flats, bungalows, commercial premises and industrial land — the most frequently commissioned capital gain valuation category in India.
A market estimate from an unregistered broker, a dealer’s opinion, or a self-declared “expert” certificate is not a registered capital gain valuer’s report.
The Income Tax Department can dismiss it without engagement. The ITAT can ignore it. The Assessing Officer can substitute their own lower estimate and issue a reassessment. A2Z Valuers, under Nitesh Shrivastava — Government Approved Valuer registered under Section 34AB, is the capital gain valuation practice providing professionally documented reports for statutory and institutional requirements.
A statutory valuation practice for capital asset valuation, taxation and institutional requirements across India.
When the Income Tax Department reviews a capital gain computation, the first document it examines is the valuation report on which the indexed cost of acquisition is based.
If the answer is yes, the Assessing Officer must engage with the report’s findings and provide reasoned grounds for departing from them. If the answer is no — if the report is signed by a dealer, a broker, a friend who “knows about property”, or an unregistered self-described valuer — the Assessing Officer can, and routinely does, disregard it entirely and substitute their own estimate.
The substituted estimate is almost always lower. The resulting higher capital gain produces a higher tax liability, interest under Sections 234B and 234C, and potential penalty under Section 271(1)(c) for understatement of income.
The cost of the additional tax, interest, and penalty routinely exceeds the cost of the registered valuer’s report by fifty times or more.
The registered capital gain valuer’s report is not a bureaucratic formality. It is the document that protects the assessee’s stated capital gain computation from administrative override.
A2Z Valuers’ capital gain valuation practice spans the principal capital asset categories encountered under the Income Tax Act, with valuation methodology matched to the nature of each asset.
Residential plots, agricultural land, flats, bungalows, commercial premises and industrial land — the most frequently commissioned capital gain valuation category in India.
Paintings, sculptures, antiques, folk art, jewellery and manuscripts — specialist assets where the 1 April 2001 base-date valuation can materially affect the resulting capital gain.
Business assets, goodwill, plant and machinery and other components relevant to Section 50B slump sale net worth computation and related capital asset valuation requirements.
Gold, silver, diamond and gemstone jewellery requiring documented valuation based on base-date market evidence, metal rates and relevant gemstone trade data.
