<h1>Assessing Officers can refer asset valuation to Valuation Officers under Section 142A for fair market value determination</h1> Section 142A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 empowers Assessing Officers to refer asset valuation matters to Valuation Officers during assessment or reassessment proceedings. The Valuation Officer must estimate fair market value of assets, property or investments after considering evidence from the assessee and providing opportunity of hearing. If the assessee fails to cooperate, valuation may proceed based on best judgment. The Valuation Officer possesses powers equivalent to those under the Wealth-tax Act and must submit reports within six months. The Assessing Officer may incorporate these valuation reports into final assessments after giving the assessee opportunity to be heard.
