How property value works in Kolkata

West Bengal publishes an official market value for every location, which you can check on the state registration portal. Stamp duty is charged on that figure or your deal price, whichever is higher, and in the city it runs from 6 to 7 percent depending on the value band, plus 1 percent registration.

That official figure is a starting point, not the truth about your property. A three storey ancestral house in Bhowanipore shared by two branches of a family, a Salt Lake plot on lease terms, and a new flat in Rajarhat behave like three different worlds. A valuation report captures what makes yours worth what it is worth, with evidence.

What Kolkata property owners come to us for

• Inherited property. Kolkata is a probate city. Wills here generally go through the High Court, and the petition needs a defensible valuation. This is our single biggest Kolkata service.
• Capital gains. Selling a house the family has held since before 2001. The certified 2001 value usually cuts the taxable gain sharply.
• Court matters. Partition suits between branches of a family are the classic Kolkata dispute. Courts want evidence, not sentiment.
• Visa files. Property certificates for children applying abroad, in the format consulates expect.
• Schedule AL. The assets schedule in the tax return once income crosses fifty lakh rupees.
• Bank loans. Bank format reports, including old houses with long title chains that make lenders nervous.

Kolkata realities we deal with every week

Joint family houses never formally divided, where four households live under one khatian. Thika tenancy land, which has its own law entirely. Shops held on pagri terms in Burrabazar. Buildings over a century old where the structure matters as much as the address. Heirs in Delhi, London and New Jersey trying to settle one Ballygunge house. We have handled each of these many times over.
