For wealth tax valuation of diamonds, here’s what you can do:
* **Wealth Tax Act doesn’t specify a fixed rate per carat (CTS) for diamonds.**
* The **value must be based on a fair market valuation**, typically by a **certified valuer** or a **recognized gemological institute** (e.g., GIA, IGI).
* If you don’t have a valuer’s certificate yet, you should get one because wealth tax authorities expect a **professional valuation** for precious stones.
* Until you get the certificate, you cannot reasonably declare a fixed rate per CTS; market prices fluctuate widely based on cut, clarity, color, and carat weight.
**Suggestion:**
Get your diamonds valued by a reputed certified valuer to comply with wealth tax norms.
