FAQ

Bangalore cost questions, answered

What does a complete 2BHK cost in Bangalore in 2026 — construction plus interiors?

For a 1,000 sqft standard-quality self-build in mid zones (Hebbal, South Bengaluru, Electronic City belt), construction runs ₹18–21 lakh (₹1,800–2,100/sqft) and a standard 2BHK interior package adds ₹7–10 lakh — roughly ₹25–31 lakh end to end, excluding plot cost, stamp duty on the plot and approval fees. Koramangala–Indiranagar runs higher; Peripheral Ring Road areas lower.

How much is stamp duty in Bangalore in 2026?

5% stamp duty plus 1% registration on the property value. Unlike Maharashtra, Delhi or UP, Karnataka gives no concession for female buyers — the rate is flat. Properties in the ₹21–45 lakh bracket attract a reduced 3% slab. Verify at the Kaveri portal before registration.

Why is M-sand compulsory for construction in Bangalore?

River sand extraction is restricted in Karnataka, so manufactured sand (M-sand/robo sand) at ₹40–55/sqft is the practical default. It's consistent in quality and IS-code compliant for structural work — budget for it rather than chasing river sand through informal channels, which carries both legal and quality risk.
