What Does a Bangalore Property Really Cost?

Cost 1

Karnataka Stamp Duty

A mandatory state tax paid to validate the property transfer deed, typically ~5% of the property value.

Cost 2

Registration Fee

Charge paid to the sub-registrar office to officially record property ownership in government land records, typically 1%.

Cost 3

GST (Goods & Services Tax)

Applies to under-construction residential properties (typically 5%). Ready-to-move properties with an OC are exempt from GST.

Cost 4

Legal & Documentation

Professional advocate charges for title search, encumbrance certificate verification, and sale agreement drafting.
