WHEN CALCULATING CAPITAL GAINS FROM SALE OF LAND OR PROPERTY, IT IS ADVISABLE TO GET A GOVERNMENT REGISTERED VALUER IN CASE THE SAID PROPERTY OR LAND WAS PURCHASED BEFORE 2001. NOW I HAVE A QUERY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. IS IT ESSENTIAL TO GET THE VALUE OF THE SAID PROPERTY OR LAND IN THE YEAR 2001 FROM THE VALUER AND CALCULATE INDEXATION COST OR WE CAN JUST TAKE CURRENT MARKET VALUE (CURRENT YEAR - 2018) OF THE SAID PROPERTY OR LAND FROM THE VALUER AND CALCULATE CAPITAL GAINS WITHOUT GIVING INDEXATION EFFECT ??

Such valuation is required only there is difference in agreement value and government value for stamp duty purpose.
If the value adopted or assessed or assessable by the State ValuationAuthority (SVA) has not been challenged before any authority, Court or High Court, and the assessee claims that this value is more than the fair marketvalue of the property, the assessing officer may refer the question ofvaluation to Departmental Valuation Officer (DVO).
