My CPA wants to know the cost basis of a flat my father bought in 1980.

That is exactly what a 1 April 2001 valuation establishes. Because the flat was bought before April 2001, Indian rules let you use the 2001 value rather than the 1980 price, and we evidence that figure properly.

Can you speak to my accountant here directly?

Yes, and it usually saves a round of emails. Give them our number or send us theirs.

How this works for Indians living in the United States

Your American accountant will have their own reporting to think about. We are Indian valuers and we do not advise on US tax. What we do is produce a report in a form CPAs can work from, and we will speak to yours directly if that helps.

The gap between what you paid decades ago and today's price is usually enormous, which is exactly why the 1 April 2001 valuation matters so much for families in your position.

We schedule calls to suit Eastern and Pacific time rather than asking you to be awake at three in the morning.

You stay where you are

Our engineer visits the property in India, measures it, checks the construction and photographs everything. Every photograph records the date, the time and the exact location automatically, so you can see for yourself that somebody stood at your property on that day. You get the photographs the same day and the signed report by email in 48 to 72 hours.
