Black Money Window: Income Tax Dept. publishes list of Asset Valuers

The Income Tax department today published a country-wide list of registered asset valuers for those who wish to declare their untaxed funds and properties under the one-time domestic black money compliance window that opened this month.

The exhaustive list, uploaded on the official web portal of the department, includes valuers of immovable property, jewellery, plant and machinery, stocks, shares and debentures and agricultural land.

The list is uploaded on Income Tax department’s official website www.incometaxindia.gov.in and the names and addresses provided therein can be used by those who wish to declare their black assets under the ongoing one-time compliance window.
Also the list will soon be put up at the regional Aaykar Sampark Kendras (ASKs) which are run by the department to facilitate taxpayer services.

A valuation of asset done by an authorised valuer is accepted as the fair value of an asset by the taxman and with this seal of approval, the declarant is expected to be sure about the market value of the asset furnished under IDS.
