Documents You'll Need for a Valuation in Karnataka

The same checklist applies to every district and municipal corporation in Karnataka. Gather these before you contact the valuer, or send whatever you already have and ask about the rest:

  1. Your current RTC (Pahani) — a recently dated copy from Bhoomi Karnataka; most banks and courts want one issued within the last 90 days.
  2. The revenue survey map (naksha) for the plot.
  3. ID proof of the land owner — Aadhaar or PAN.
  4. Mutation entries or the ownership chain, if the land has changed hands.
  5. A purpose-specific document, if it applies to you — a bank's sanction letter, a project approval letter for tower or power-line compensation, or a draft sale agreement for a buying or selling valuation.

Missing something? Send what you have — the valuer's office will tell you exactly what else is required for your specific purpose.
