Answers on Karnataka stamp duty, home loans and buying costs.
In Karnataka, stamp duty on residential property is structured in three slabs: 2% for properties valued up to ₹ 20 L, 3% for properties from ₹ 20 L to ₹ 45 L, and 5% for properties above ₹ 45 L. In addition, there is a 10% cess on the stamp duty (0.5% of property value) and a 2% municipal surcharge within BBMP limits (0.1% of property value), bringing the effective stamp duty to 5.6% for properties above ₹ 45 L. Property registration fees are charged at 2% of the registered value, making the total statutory transfer cost 7.6% for properties above ₹ 45 L. Buyers should also budget for scanning fees and document drafting charges. (Source: Inspector General of Registration & Commissioner of Stamps / IGR Karnataka, verified 18 October 2026).

Banks in Bengaluru generally cap your loan repayments at 40% to 50% of your net monthly take-home salary, known as your Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR). For example, if your household takes home ₹ 2,00,000 each month and you have no other existing loans, a bank will allow an EMI of up to ₹ 80,000 to ₹ 1,00,000. At an 8.5% interest rate over 20 years, that translates to a loan of about ₹ 92 L to ₹ 1.15 Cr.

It depends on how long you plan to stay and what rent you pay. Gross rental yields in Bengaluru tech corridors like Whitefield, Bellandur, and Sarjapur Road typically range between 3% and 4.2% (varies by project and micro-market), while home loan interest is around 8.5%. If you plan to stay fewer than five years, renting and investing your down payment in liquid assets often leaves you with more money. If you plan to live in the home for seven years or longer, buying protects you from rising rents and builds equity over time.

Beyond the builder's basic sale price (BSP), closing costs in Bengaluru typically range from 18% to 25% (varies by project and specification). These include Karnataka stamp duty and registration charges (7.6% combined for properties above ₹ 45 L, per IGR Karnataka), 5% GST on under-construction apartments, floor rise charges (varies by project, typically ₹ 25 to ₹ 75 per sq ft per floor), preferential location charges (PLC), BWSSB water and BESCOM power deposits, clubhouse infrastructure fees, advance society maintenance corpus, legal due diligence fees, and interior execution.

Because home loans follow a reducing-balance amortisation structure where early payments are interest-heavy, paying extra towards your principal early cuts the interest you pay. On a 20-year loan at 8.5%, one extra EMI a year saves about 3¼ years and 19% of the interest. A 5% yearly EMI increase saves about 7¾ years and 36%.

Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP, now under the Greater Bengaluru Authority / GBA) assesses property tax under the Self-Assessment Scheme (SAS) using zonal guidance values, built-up area, and occupancy type (tenanted units are assessed at double the base rate of owner-occupied homes per BBMP SAS rules). Proper tax compliance also requires verifying whether the property holds an A-Khata certificate under a sanctioned plan or is a B-Khata revenue entry.
