Current Sale Deed
Sale Deed / Sale Agreement / ATSEstablishes the sale price, the sale date, the buyer and seller details, and the property description.
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:
Keep together the documents that establish the transaction, acquisition history, property characteristics and any improvements made to the property.
Establishes the sale price, the sale date, the buyer and seller details, and the property description.
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.
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.
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.
Society NOC, floor plan, occupancy certificate, property tax receipts — any documents that describe the property’s area, floor and condition.
For family jewellery and inherited collections, even partial documentation can help establish the identity, acquisition history and relevant characteristics of the jewellery.
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.
Jewellery purchased from a reputable jeweller often comes with a bill; the bill confirms the acquisition date and price.
The BIS hallmark confirms purity; the HUID for post-January 2022 jewellery confirms the specific piece.
For inherited jewellery, this confirms that the jewellery was received by inheritance and records the deceased’s acquisition history.
For paintings and other artworks, basic work details, ownership history and clear photographs can make the preliminary valuation process considerably more organised.
Artist name and basic work details including medium such as oil, watercolour or gouache, approximate dimensions, title if known, and any signature or inscription.
If available, provide the gallery invoice, auction catalogue, prior appraisal certificate or other documents that establish the artwork’s ownership history and provenance.
If the work is stored remotely, high-resolution photographs of the front, back and signature assist in preliminary identification before the physical examination.
Whether your requirement concerns property capital gain, jewellery or art, organised documentation gives the valuation engagement a stronger starting point.
