ONE OF OUR READER HAS DONE A CALCULATION OF VALUE ADDED TAX, SERVICE TAX, BESCOM DEPOSIT, BWSSB DEPOSIT, LEGAL CHARGES, GENERATOR CHARGES, STAMP DUTY AND REGISTRATION FEES, WHICH WORKS OUT AT OVER 20% OF THE STATED OR QUOTED PRICE OF THE PROPERTY, APART FROM THE CHARGES PAID OR PAYABLE FOR OBTAINING THE BANK LOAN, WHICH MAY BE ANOTHER 1/2% OR 1%.
IN SOME CASES, THESE CHARGES AMOUNTED TO OVER 25% AND 75% OF THE CASES, THE BUYERS DO NOT HAVE KATHA FROM BBMP, STILL HAVE TO REMIT THE BETTERMENT CHARGES AND PAY THE KATHA FEE, WHICH WORKS OUT AT APPROXIMATELY AT 1%.
Many of the buyers are under the wrong impression and notion that the approval or sanction of BANK LOAN will confer the best right, title and interest of the property. IT IS WRONG.
TAKE CARE. CHECK THE CHARGES. DEMAND THE BILLS. DEMAND THE RECEIPTS.
