Fees
What property valuation costs in India
These are the fee bands we quote against. Every figure below is the professional fee before tax. GST at 18% is added on top, so a ₹10,000 fee is ₹11,800 all in.
Residential property, before GST. Visa and immigration reports run ₹6,000 – ₹10,000. Capital gains and income-tax reports start at ₹10,000 and typically land between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000. Bank loan reports start at ₹10,000. Commercial premises, industrial units and land are quoted higher, usually 1.5 to 2 times these numbers, because they take longer to inspect and value.

Does the Rule 248 ceiling apply to my report?

Does ValuerDekho add a fee?

What extra costs should I expect?
GST at 18%, travel outside city limits, courier (₹300–₹500 in India; ₹1,500–₹3,500 abroad), and CA certificates if needed.
Why does commercial property cost more?
Shops, offices, industrial units and land take longer to inspect, need rental and comparable evidence that is harder to source, and carry more report risk. Expect roughly 1.5 to 2 times the residential band.
