When purchasing a residential apartment or villa in India, the builder or seller quotes only the Base Agreement Cost (e.g., ₹75 Lakhs). However, completing legal registration and making the house livable requires several statutory and operational outgoes that banks generally do not finance.
Stamp Duty (4.9% to 7%), Registration fees (1% or capped at ₹30K), and GST (1% or 5% on under-construction units) add substantial cost.
Builders collect 1 to 2 years advance society maintenance, Interest-Free Maintenance Security (IFMS), club membership, and electric meter fees.
Modular kitchen, wardrobes, lighting, false ceiling, and moving packers & movers can easily cost ₹4 Lakhs to ₹10 Lakhs depending on unit size.
