The Sticker Price Trap
Most buyers in Maharashtra focus solely on the base price shown in brochures. However, the actual outflow involves several mandatory government and developer-led charges.
From stamp duty to GST, these costs can add several lakhs to your home loan requirement.
- Stamp Duty & Registration: Mandatory state taxes
- GST: Applicable on under-construction properties
- Legal Fees: For scrutinising title deeds and agreements
Impact on your Budget
If you are eyeing a ₹1 crore flat in Navi Mumbai, you must keep at least ₹10-12 lakh ready for additional expenses.
Failing to account for these can lead to delayed possession or difficulty in securing the final disbursement from banks.
- Calculate your loan based on the total cost, not just the base price
- Keep a buffer for unforeseen legal or society handover charges
- Verify if the developer includes amenities in the base cost
Smart Moving Forward
Always request an all-inclusive cost sheet before signing the booking amount cheque.
Compare the 'All-inclusive' price against the 'Base price' to avoid surprises during registration.
- Check RERA website for project-specific cost disclosures
- Ask about advance maintenance deposits
