Everything a CA Needs Before Recommending a Government Approved Art Valuer
Every Government Approved Art Valuation Certificate becomes part of a client's statutory documentation. Before recommending a valuer, a Chartered Accountant needs confidence that the certificate satisfies legal requirements, follows the prescribed methodology, meets filing timelines and withstands professional scrutiny. A2Z Valuers has built its engagement model around these exact expectations.
Confirmed Section 34AB Registration
Every engagement includes confirmation of Section 34AB Category VIII (Works of Art) registration together with the official registration number and a copy of the registration certificate. This enables the Chartered Accountant, client and Assessing Officer to immediately verify the statutory authority behind the valuation.
Rule 11UA(1)(a) Methodology
Every certificate explicitly states the applicable Rule 11UA(1)(a) methodology, the Open Market Fair Market Value standard and the documented comparable sales approach expected during procedural review by the Income Tax Department.
Turnaround That Meets Tax Deadlines
Standard certificates for individual artworks are generally completed within 5–10 Working Days, while larger collections normally require 10–21 Working Days. Where statutory filing deadlines require urgent delivery, expedited processing can be arranged wherever practical.
Certificates Built To Withstand Scrutiny
Every valuation follows a professionally documented structure covering comparable sales, valuation methodology, condition assessment, attribution and statutory compliance, providing confidence during Assessing Officer review and Section 142A DVO examination.
