4. What’s Changing in 2025 (Fresh Policy Updates)

• New NMMC Transfer Fee (Aug 2025 onwards)
  • 0.20% fee on property transfers (on agreement value or RR, whichever is higher).
  • From Oct 1, 2025 → late fees apply (RBI base rate + 3%).

• Micro-Zoning of Ready Reckoner Rates
  • Coming soon: Navi Mumbai will be divided into smaller zones for realistic RR values.
  • Meaning: plush Nerul won’t be compared to older/slum belts—finally, fairer pricing.

5. Other Costs Buyers Must Know (Beyond Stamp Duty & Registration)

Here’s what most guides won’t tell you:

• GST (Goods & Services Tax)
  • Under-construction affordable homes (< ₹45L, ≤ 60 sq.m): 1%
  • Other under-construction homes (> ₹45L): 5%
  • Ready-to-move-in: 0% (no GST)

• Society & Developer Charges
  • Maintenance deposit, advance property tax, or “corpus fund” (₹50K–₹2L).
  • Transfer fee or membership fee for resale flats.

• NMMC / CIDCO Fees
  • NMMC Transfer Fee: 0.20% (new 2025 policy).
  • Property tax setup charges after registration.

• Legal & Miscellaneous
  • Legal documentation: ₹10K–₹25K.
  • Loan processing fees: 0.25%–0.5% of loan amount.
  • Society NOC (for resale): ₹5K–₹25K.

 These can add anywhere from ₹50,000 to ₹5 lakh depending on the property type and stage.

6. Smart Ways to Save Money (Legally)

• Buy in a female name → Save 1% instantly.
• Joint ownership with wife/daughter → Same rebate.
• Check Ready Reckoner vs Agreement → Don’t overpay blindly.
• Senior-Living Policy (2025) → Only ₹1,000 stamp duty.

7. Step-by-Step Registration Day Experience

Here’s what actually happens (so you don’t panic on the big day):

1. Challan generation → Through GRAS Portal.
2. Document prep → Agreement, PAN, Aadhaar, photographs.
3. Visit Sub-Registrar Office → Appointment slot, biometric, thumb impression.
4. Payment confirmation → Duty + registration challan verified.
5. Registered copy issued → Within 1–2 days, digital copy also available.

💡 Pro Tip: Registration must be done within 4 months of execution. Delay = 1% per month penalty (capped at 200%).
