How We Stay Current The Market Intelligence That Makes Every Certificate Reliable
A Government Approved Art Valuation Certificate is only as reliable as the market evidence supporting its conclusion. Using outdated auction records or historical price assumptions can lead to an inaccurate Fair Market Value (FMV), increasing the possibility of scrutiny during Income Tax Assessments, Section 142A DVO References, banking reviews or litigation.
A2Z Valuers maintains continuous engagement with the Indian and international art market through systematic monitoring of auction houses, gallery transactions, art market publications and global market reports. This disciplined research ensures every Government Approved Art Valuation Certificate reflects current market realities, documented comparable sales and professional valuation methodology.
