  • No separate concession for women buyers.
  • Temporary rebates on stamp duty and circle rates offered after Covid have ended (sources disagree on whether the end date was June 2024 or March 2025); none is assumed here.
  • Registration fee is about 1% of market value; some guides put it slightly higher (about 1.1%) once fixed charges are included.
