Quick Answer: A net worth certificate is a statement signed by a practising Chartered Accountant, with a UDIN, that shows your total assets, total liabilities and net worth (assets minus liabilities) as on a given date. It is commonly needed for visa applications, bank loans, tenders and financial sponsorship. You can get one online by sharing documents digitally. Message us on WhatsApp for a quotation.
What Is a Net Worth Certificate?
Your net worth is simple arithmetic: everything you own, minus everything you owe. A net worth certificate puts that calculation on paper, backed by a Chartered Accountant who has checked it against documents. The CA lists assets such as property, bank balances, investments, vehicles and gold, deducts liabilities such as loans and credit card dues, and certifies the result as on a stated date.
Because the CA signs it and attaches a UDIN, an embassy, bank or tender authority can treat the number as credible rather than self-declared. Note that this is a personal or business financial net worth. It is different from the "net worth" defined in company law for corporate purposes. If you need other CA-led compliance work, see our team of Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries.

Send scans or photos of your property papers, statements and ID over WhatsApp or email. No office visit is needed.
CA verification
The CA matches each asset and liability to its document and asks for anything missing.
Certificate prepared
The certificate is drafted in the right format and signed with the CA's details and UDIN.

Net Worth Certificate by CA: Why a Chartered Accountant?
- Only a practising Chartered Accountant can certify financial statements for most official uses
- The CA's signature, membership number and firm registration number are on the certificate
- A UDIN lets the recipient verify the certificate on the ICAI portal
- The CA is professionally accountable for what is certified
- Embassies and banks give far more weight to CA-certified figures
- Self-prepared statements are often rejected
- The CA can flag mismatches with your ITR or bank statements before you submit
- A well-structured certificate avoids follow-up queries
Net Worth Certificate Format
There is no single legally prescribed format, and some banks and embassies give their own. A solid certificate usually has these parts:
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Heading and reference | Title, date of certificate and the as-on date for the figures |
| Details of the person or entity | Name, PAN, address and, for businesses, the registration details |
| Statement of assets | Immovable property, bank balances, fixed deposits, shares and mutual funds, vehicles, jewellery, other assets |
| Statement of liabilities | Home loans, vehicle loans, personal loans, credit card dues, other liabilities |
| Net worth | Total assets less total liabilities |
| Basis of valuation | How each asset has been valued, such as market value or cost |
| CA declaration | Certification based on documents produced, with signature and seal |
| CA details | Name, membership number, firm registration number, UDIN, place and date |
A Simple Illustration
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Residential flat (market value) | 50,00,000 |
| Bank balances and fixed deposits | 12,00,000 |
| Mutual funds and shares | 8,00,000 |
| Vehicle | 4,00,000 |
| Total assets | 74,00,000 |
| Home loan outstanding | (30,00,000) |
| Vehicle loan outstanding | (2,00,000) |
| Net worth | 42,00,000 |
Figures are illustrative only and not a real certificate.
Documents Required for Net Worth Certificate
- PAN card and Aadhaar or passport
- Property documents such as sale deed, registry or latest property tax receipt
- Bank statements and fixed deposit certificates
- Demat, mutual fund and share holding statements
- Loan statements showing outstanding balances
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Jewellery valuation certificate or purchase bills, where gold is included
- Latest ITR and, for businesses, financial statements and GST or MSME details
The more complete and recent your documents, the faster and smoother the certificate. Statements should be as close as possible to the as-on date you want.
Net Worth Certificate Fees
There is no government-fixed fee. Net worth certificate fees are set by the CA based on the work involved, so any single "standard price" you see online is only a guess. The cost generally depends on:
Number of assets and liabilities
More items to verify means more time. A simple profile costs less than a varied one.
Individual or business
Business net worth certificates need financial statements and more verification.
Purpose and format
A visa or a specific bank format can need extra work or a particular layout.
Urgency
Faster turnaround can affect the quotation.
Valuation needs
Property or jewellery needing a separate valuation adds to the scope.
Delivery
A physical signed original may differ from a digitally signed copy.

Net Worth Certificate for Visa
Embassies want to see that you can fund your trip, study or stay without relying on unlawful work or public funds. A CA-certified net worth certificate is a clear way to show it. It is often requested for student visas, visitor and tourist visas, business and investor visas and cases where a sponsor is vouching for you.
- Match the certificate to your bank statements and ITR, since inconsistencies cause refusals
- Use a recent as-on date, close to your submission
- Include only assets you can document
- Ask whether the embassy wants a particular format or a physical original
- Do not inflate values; officers cross-check
- Show liabilities honestly; a clean net worth is more credible
- State the currency, and add a conversion if the consulate asks
- Keep the UDIN visible so the officer can verify it
Requirements vary by country, visa type and consulate. Always follow the official checklist of the embassy you are applying to.
Net Worth Certificate for Bank Loan
Banks use a net worth certificate to judge whether you, your promoters or your guarantors can repay. It is commonly asked for with business loans, loans against property, larger personal loans and guarantor-backed facilities.
| Loan situation | How the certificate helps |
|---|---|
| Business or MSME loan | Shows promoters' personal strength alongside business financials |
| Loan with a guarantor | Proves the guarantor's capacity to cover the loan |
| Loan against property | Gives the lender an overall picture of assets and liabilities |
| Large personal loan | Supports repayment capacity beyond salary |
| Credit limit enhancement | Backs the request with a current financial position |
Banks may have their own format. Ask your lender before the CA drafts the certificate.
