Certificate of income tax valuer (engineer) compulsory for new house construction

This discussion explores whether a certificate from an income tax valuer, typically an engineer, is compulsory for new house constructions, especially for income tax purposes. While a completion certificate from a builder or engineer is often needed for facilities and home loan interest claims, it's not strictly mandatory for IT purposes unless you're claiming deductions. The conversation highlights differing views on the necessity and interpretation of such certificates for tax declarations.
