🏡 Property price is not the real cost in India Most buyers focus only on the deal value. But hidden charges can quietly add lakhs to your total cost. 📌 What you need to know: • Stamp duty and registration charges vary widely across states • Some states go up to 10 to 11 percent combined cost • States like Goa have relatively lower duties • Charges include registration fee, transfer duty and local cess • Stamp duty is calculated on higher of agreement value or ready reckoner rate • Even a small 1 percent charge can mean tens of thousands in big cities • Underpaying duty can now lead to penalties up to ₹1 lakh These costs are not optional. They directly impact your final investment. Always calculate the full cost before buying. Because the real price is never just the property value.
