Property Valuation for Visa & Immigration in Bangalore
A visa valuation in Bangalore from a government-registered valuer costs ₹6,000 – ₹10,000 and takes 24–72 hours. A registered valuer for immovable property (registered under Section 514 of the Income-tax Act 2025, formerly Section 34AB of the Wealth-tax Act) or an IBBI Registered Valuer in the Land & Building asset class.
Bangalore generates a large share of US H-1B, Canada Express Entry and Australia skilled applications, and local valuers issue dual-currency reports with the EC and khata cited because immigration officers are familiar with Karnataka title documents. NRIs working in the US typically arrange inspection access through a relative or the apartment association and receive the signed PDF within three days.

Where the embassy asks for total net worth rather than a single asset, a Chartered Accountant's net-worth certificate with a UDIN is added; the CA relies on the valuer's report for the property figure.

Steps
- Tell us the country and visa class Canada Express Entry, Australia subclass 189/190/491, UK spouse or student, US B1/B2 or F-1, Schengen: the visa class decides whether you need a single-asset report or a net-worth package.
- Compare two or three registered valuers You receive written quotes with registration numbers, fee, turnaround and a sample report so you can judge the format before paying.
- Send documents on WhatsApp or email Scans are enough. The valuer confirms sufficiency within one working day and asks for photographs or a video call if inspection is not planned.
- Draft for factual check You verify spellings, survey numbers, carpet or built-up areas and ownership shares. One round of corrections is free.
- Signed report in INR and your target currency PDF the same day; hard copy by courier in India or abroad on request. CA net-worth certificate with UDIN added if the embassy needs total assets.
- Keep the valuer's contact details Visa officers occasionally verify by phone or email. Registered valuers expect this and respond.

Do embassies require a government-approved valuer specifically?
No embassy publishes a list of approved valuers, but immigration officers expect a report from a professional the Indian government recognises. A registered valuer under the Income-tax Act 2025 (formerly Section 34AB) or an IBBI Registered Valuer meets that expectation. Reports signed only by an unregistered engineer are the ones most often queried.
Can I get a visa valuation without anyone visiting the property?
Yes for most applications. The valuer works from the title documents, municipal records and dated photographs or a live video walkthrough, and states that basis in the report. If the property is high-value or the embassy previously asked for verification, choose a valuer who will inspect.
How much does a property valuation for a visa cost in India?
Across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Gujarat and Bhopal the market range is ₹10,000–₹18,000 per property. Agricultural land and commercial premises sit at the top of the range; a second property in the same city is usually cheaper.
