How this is worked out
The agreement value is not the base price. It is the base price plus PLC, floor rise, car park and club membership — so every statutory percentage is applied to a larger number than the one in the advertisement.
Worked from the data: on the median listed unit the agreement value is ₹1.64 Cr, giving ₹8.2 L of GST, ₹8.2 L of stamp duty and ₹1.6 L of registration.
How the Karnataka rate is made up: Karnataka, above the ₹45 lakh slab. Cess and surcharge on the duty are not modelled here.
GST is not one rate either: an under-construction home is taxed at 5% and under-construction commercial supply at 12%, while a completed property that has its occupancy certificate attracts none.
⚠️ Verify before transacting. These are the rates each listing records, derived from the listing's own figures as at 5 Aug 2026, and they are illustrative prototype figures. Real duty varies with the buyer's gender, the value slab, whether the address sits inside a municipal corporation and the state budget of the year. This is not tax or legal advice.
