Who Needs This

Selling Property in Chennai?

If you are selling a flat, house, or piece of land in Chennai, the Income Tax Act requires you to compute capital gains on the sale. In many cases — especially where the sale price is close to or above the guideline value — your Chartered Accountant will ask for a registered valuer certificate to support the computation.

This valuation report is also required when:

📈

Section 50C — Property Sale

When you sell a flat or land in Chennai, a registered valuer report establishes the fair market value for capital gains computation under Section 50C of the Income Tax Act.

💼

Section 55 — Inherited Property

If you inherited property and are now selling it, you need a fair market value certificate as on April 1, 2001 under Section 55(2)(b). This reduces your capital gains significantly.

📄

Income Tax Return Filing

Your CA requires a certified valuation report as a supporting document for capital gains schedules in your ITR. The report must come from an IBBI or Income Tax Registered Valuer.

Why a Registered Valuer

The Income Tax Department Requires It

The Income Tax Act specifies that property valuations for capital gains computations must come from a registered valuer recognized by the Income Tax Department or an IBBI Registered Valuer. A market estimate from a broker or real estate agent is not a valid document for this purpose.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Do I need a registered valuer for capital gains?

If your CA requires a valuation certificate for income tax purposes, it must come from an IBBI or Income Tax Registered Valuer. A market estimate from a broker or property portal is not accepted by the IT Department.

What if my property was inherited?

Inherited property requires a fair market value certificate as on April 1, 2001 (Section 55 of the Income Tax Act). This is a specialised computation — only registered valuers can certify it. It is the key document that reduces your capital gains on the sale.

How long does the report take?

Most reports are ready within 2–3 working days from the date we receive your documents. Section 55 (2001 value) reports may take one additional day due to historical research involved.

Is a physical visit required from my side?

No. You share documents by WhatsApp or email. We carry out the site inspection — you do not need to be present unless you prefer to be.
