Always request a written all-in quotation from the promoter. **Q: When does GST apply to a flat purchase in Gujarat?** A: GST generally applies when a promoter sells an under-construction residential unit under the applicable GST framework. Ready-to-move sales after occupancy or completion certificates are issued are typically treated differently. Confirm the project stage, invoice structure and GST rate in the approved cost sheet and agreement. **Q: Is parking always included in the quoted 3 BHK price?** A: Not always. Some quotations list one car parking as included while additional bays, covered parking or visitor parking are charged separately. Match the parking schedule in the quotation with the draft Agreement for Sale and the registered inventory where available. **Q: How do I compare two 3 BHK quotations fairly?** A: Use the same worksheet for both offers: base unit price, statutory charges, GST if applicable, parking, floor rise, deposits, maintenance and corpus, and loan-side costs. Compare the same area definition — carpet, built-up or saleable — and the same possession timeline. **Q: What is stamp duty on property in Gujarat?** A: Gujarat stamp duty is commonly quoted at 4.9% of the property value, comprising a basic duty plus surcharge, calculated on the higher of the agreement value or the government guideline value. Verify the current rate and calculation on the official GARVI portal before budgeting. **Q: Are registration charges different for women buyers in Gujarat?** A: Gujarat policy has provided registration-fee concessions for sole female ownership in many cases, while joint ownership involving a male co-owner may attract the standard registration fee. Confirm the current rule and your ownership structure on GARVI before you budget. **Q: What is a maintenance corpus and why does it matter?** A: A corpus is usually a one-time capital contribution to the society or maintenance pool for long-term upkeep of common assets. It is separate from monthly maintenance. Ask whether it is refundable, how it is accounted for, and whether GST applies to the payment. **Q: Should I budget for loan processing separately from the flat price?** A: Yes. Home-loan buyers should budget processing fees, legal and technical charges, insurance where required, and any differential between the bank's valuation and the agreement value. These are not part of the promoter's base quotation. **Q: Can I rely on a portal's per-square-foot rate as the total cost?** A: No. Portal rates are often marketing anchors and may exclude taxes, parking, floor premiums, deposits and statutory charges. Request the promoter's approved all-in cost sheet for the exact unit you plan to buy. **Q: How do I get Ariva's current approved cost details?** A: Ariva's current approved pricing and charge schedule are shared by the sales team on request. Use the contact section on the Ariva microsite to request the official cost sheet for your preferred unit type rather than relying on unofficial estimates. ## Official sources - https://garvi.gujarat.gov.in/ - https://stampsregistration.gujarat.gov.in/ - https://www.cbic.gov.in/ - https://www.shreebuildcon.com/ariva/ ## Disclaimer General educational information only.
