Indian property valuation for NRIs in Singapore
Singapore-based NRIs use Indian property valuations for PR and long-term pass asset declarations, private-bank net-worth statements, and the capital gains, TDS and repatriation work involved in selling Indian property. ValuerDekho matches you with registered valuers who inspect, issue dual INR/SGD reports and courier originals to Singapore, and with CAs for net-worth certificates and Forms 145/146. Reports cost ₹6,000–₹10,000 for declarations and ₹10,000–₹20,000 for capital gains, plus 18% GST; signed PDFs arrive in two to five working days.

Singapore does not tax foreign capital gains, so the Indian tax is final.
