Karnataka (Bengaluru Urban and Rural)

Property valuers in Bangalore

Bangalore property valuers prepare registered-valuer reports for visa and immigration files, capital gains, fair market value as on 1 April 2001, bank loans and partition across BBMP limits and the tech corridors of Whitefield, Sarjapur Road and Electronic City. Visa valuations cost ₹10,000–₹18,000 and arrive within 24–72 hours; inspected capital gains reports follow the Rule 248 ceiling and take three to five working days. Karnataka's stamp-duty benchmark is the guidance value published on Kaveri Online Services; a 10–15% hike proposed for 2026 had not been gazetted as of June 2026, so the 2023 schedule still applies.

Registered valuers covering Bangalore

What is specific to Bangalore

• Guidance values are checked on the Kaveri portal by sub-registrar office, village and survey number; the last state-wide revision took effect in October 2023 and a further 10–15% increase was proposed but not notified as of mid-2026.
• Stamp duty is 5% for properties above ₹45 lakh (3% between ₹21 and ₹45 lakh, 2% below ₹20 lakh) plus 1% registration fee and cess and surcharge, which take the effective rate to about 6.6% in BBMP areas.
• A-khata versus B-khata status is decisive: B-khata properties (unapproved layouts or unpaid betterment charges) are valued lower and are often unacceptable to banks; valuers state khata status and BBMP tax paid.
• An encumbrance certificate (EC, Form 15/16) from Kaveri is standard evidence of clear title in Karnataka and is cited in visa and tax reports.
• Apartments are valued on super built-up area quoted in the sale deed with a carpet cross-check; villas in gated communities carry high land-share values that valuers separate from construction.
