Who is qualified to do this, and how to check
India runs more than one registered-valuer regime, and which one applies depends on why the valuation is being done. For Property Valuation, these are the relevant bodies - each one publishes a register you can check independently.
Income Tax Department
Section 514, Income-tax Act, 2025, with the Income-tax Rules, 2026 (continuing the register previously maintained under section 34AB of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957)
Check the register →
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI)
Section 247, Companies Act, 2013, with the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017
Check the register →
The applicable registration depends on why the valuation is required - an income-tax valuation and a Companies Act / insolvency valuation are governed by different registers.
ValuationZone is not itself a registered valuer and does not sign reports. Assignments are
carried out by a panel of 300+ independent registered valuers, Chartered Engineers and Chartered Accountants,
and the report you receive is prepared and signed by the professional engaged for it.
