CA DOCUMENTATION GUIDE

What to Gather Before Your CA Can Instruct A2Z Valuers

The more documentation you bring to your CA, the faster and more comprehensive the Government Approved Capital Gain Valuer’s certificate will be. Here is what to look for:

Prepare first. Instruct faster. Organising the right records helps your CA brief the valuer with a clearer understanding of the asset, transaction and valuation requirement.
01
PROPERTY CAPITAL GAIN

For Property Capital Gain

Keep together the documents that establish the transaction, acquisition history, property characteristics and any improvements made to the property.

01

Current Sale Deed

Sale Deed / Sale Agreement / ATS

Establishes the sale price, the sale date, the buyer and seller details, and the property description.

02

Circle Rate Confirmation

Section 50C / Stamp Duty Value

Your CA or the sub-registrar’s office can confirm the Circle Rate for your specific property. The certificate’s Section 50C analysis depends on knowing the specific SDV.

50C
03

Original Purchase Deed

Acquisition Evidence

The document by which you (or your parent / HUF) acquired the property. Even if the purchase was in 1975, the original deed helps confirm the acquisition date. If lost, the revenue records (title search from the sub-registrar) may substitute.

04

Improvement Records

Bills / Invoices / Photographs

Old invoices, bills, or photographs of improvements such as an additional floor, lift or extensions. Not essential — A2Z Valuers’ Civil Engineering assessment can work without them — but helpful.

05

Property Documents

Area / Floor / Condition Evidence

Society NOC, floor plan, occupancy certificate, property tax receipts — any documents that describe the property’s area, floor and condition.

02
JEWELLERY CAPITAL GAIN

For Jewellery Capital Gain

For family jewellery and inherited collections, even partial documentation can help establish the identity, acquisition history and relevant characteristics of the jewellery.

01

Description of the Jewellery

Weight / Purity / Type / Stones

Approximate weight in grams; gold purity such as 22-carat or 18-carat; type such as necklace, bangles or earrings; and whether it includes diamonds or coloured stones.

02

Original Purchase Receipt

Acquisition Date & Price

Jewellery purchased from a reputable jeweller often comes with a bill; the bill confirms the acquisition date and price.

03

BIS Hallmark or HUID

Purity & Piece Identification

The BIS hallmark confirms purity; the HUID for post-January 2022 jewellery confirms the specific piece.

BIS
04

Will or Succession Document

Inherited Jewellery

For inherited jewellery, this confirms that the jewellery was received by inheritance and records the deceased’s acquisition history.

03
ART CAPITAL GAIN

For Art Capital Gain

For paintings and other artworks, basic work details, ownership history and clear photographs can make the preliminary valuation process considerably more organised.

01 WORK IDENTIFICATION

Artist Name & Basic Work Details

Artist name and basic work details including medium such as oil, watercolour or gouache, approximate dimensions, title if known, and any signature or inscription.

02 OWNERSHIP HISTORY

Provenance Documents

If available, provide the gallery invoice, auction catalogue, prior appraisal certificate or other documents that establish the artwork’s ownership history and provenance.

03 PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION

Photographs

If the work is stored remotely, high-resolution photographs of the front, back and signature assist in preliminary identification before the physical examination.
