- Why does RERA registration matter when buying property in India?
- RERA is the Real Estate Regulatory Authority — every project above a small threshold must register with the state RERA portal, and the registration ID is publicly verifiable. Buying a RERA-registered property gives you statutory protection on possession date, project specs, and refund timelines if the builder defaults. Every listing on Realty of India shows the RERA pill linked to the state portal so you can verify independently.
- How much is stamp duty when I buy a flat in India?
- Stamp duty rates vary by state — Maharashtra charges ~5–6%, Karnataka ~5%, Delhi 4–6%, depending on whether the buyer is male/female/joint. Registration charges add another ~1%. Use the in-built Stamp Duty calculator on Realty of India for the exact rate for your city and buyer profile.
- Can I get a home loan on properties I find through Realty of India?
- Yes. Listings carry the documents most lenders need to underwrite — RERA ID where applicable, OC (Occupancy Certificate) status, society approval, and clear title chain. Banks and NBFCs (HDFC, SBI, ICICI, LIC HFL, Bajaj Finserv) lend up to 80–90% of property value depending on your eligibility. The EMI calculator on Realty of India estimates your monthly payment.
- What is the difference between ready-to-move, under-construction, and new launch?
- Ready-to-move means OC has been received and you can move in immediately — lower risk, no GST. Under-construction means the project is mid-build with a possession date — typically 12–18% cheaper than ready-to-move but you pay GST and bear delay risk. New launch is fresh inventory at the project's launch price — earliest entry, longest wait. ROI shows construction status on every listing card.
