's listed price is not your final price. You also pay stamp duty, registration fees, GST, and a one-time corpus fund deposit. Together, these add 12% to 14% on top of the base price. This page shows you the exact 2026 rates for each charge. You will also see a real cost example for a 2.5 BHK unit.

Why the Base Price Is Not Your Final Price


Brigade Granada's base price starts at Rs 1.45 Crore for a 2.5 BHK. This works out to Rs 12,083 per sq ft. This price covers only your flat's construction and space. It does not include government charges or GST. Many buyers forget this and fall short by 15 to 20 lakh at possession. Plan for these extra costs early. This helps you avoid stress at the last stage.

Stamp Duty and Registration Charges in Karnataka for 2026


Karnataka charges stamp duty in three slabs. Your rate depends on your property's value. Every Brigade Granada unit starts above Rs 45 lakh. This puts your unit in the top slab at 5%.

Property Value Stamp Duty Rate
Up to Rs 20 lakh 2%
Rs 21 lakh to Rs 45 lakh 3%
Above Rs 45 lakh 5%

Registration charges changed recently. Karnataka doubled the registration fee from 1% to 2%. This change took effect on 31 August 2025. It was the first change since 2003. It applies to every sale deed signed after that date, including Brigade Granada bookings. Budget for 2%, not the older 1% rate. Many blogs still show the old number.

Your exact area may also add a small extra cess. Sannatammanahalli sits near the border of two zones. Some parts fall under BBMP. Other parts fall under Gram Panchayat. This border can change your exact cess amount. Check your sale agreement for the correct figure. You can also confirm it on the Kaveri Online Services portal.

GST on Your Brigade Granada Apartment


GST only applies to under-construction homes. Once Brigade Granada gets its Occupancy Certificate, GST stops. This applies to any units still unsold at that point.

Property Status GST Rate Applies to Brigade Granada?
Under-construction, price above Rs 45 lakh 5%, no input tax credit Yes, all configurations
Under-construction, affordable housing (up to Rs 45 lakh) 1%, no input tax credit No, no unit qualifies
Ready-to-move with Occupancy Certificate 0% Applies only after possession

Every Brigade Granada unit prices above Rs 45 lakh. This means the 2.5 BHK, 3 BHK, and 4 BHK all fall under the standard 5% rate. Some buyers assume new flats always get the lower 1% rate. That is not true for Brigade Granada. The GST Council reviewed rates in 2025 and kept property rates the same. So the 1% and 5% rates still apply through 2026.

What Is a Corpus Fund and Why Brigade Granada Collects It


A corpus fund is a one-time deposit. You pay it when you take possession. Builders often charge Rs 100 to Rs 250 per sq ft. The exact rate depends on the project.

This charge works differently from your monthly maintenance. Maintenance covers daily costs, like security staff, lift power and water supply. The corpus fund stays untouched in a separate account. It covers big, rare repairs. Think tower repainting, lift motor replacement, or fixing structural cracks.

Brigade Group holds this fund after possession. Once residents form a Resident Welfare Association, the builder hands over the full fund. This includes any interest the fund has earned.

Sample Cost Breakdown: Brigade Granada 2.5 BHK


Here is your real cost for a Brigade Granada 2.5 BHK. This example uses the actual starting price of Rs 1.45 Crore.

Cost Element Calculation Amount
Base Price Rs 1.45 Crore Rs 1,45,00,000
Stamp Duty 5% of base price Rs 7,25,000
Registration Fee 2% of base price Rs 2,90,000
GST 5% of base price Rs 7,25,000
Corpus Fund Deposit Rs 150/sq ft x 1,200 sq ft Rs 1,80,000
Total Estimated Outlay Rs 1,64,20,000

This adds close to Rs 19.2 lakh. That is about 13% on top of your base price. This does not include BBMP cess, brokerage, or interior costs. Treat this table as your minimum budget, not your final number.

How to Budget for These Charges Before You Book


Most banks calculate your loan on the base price alone. They usually leave out stamp duty, registration and GST. You need separate funds for these costs. Keep 13% to 15% of your base price ready in savings. These charges often fall due close to possession.

Ask your Brigade Granada sales team for a full cost sheet. It should list stamp duty, registration, GST and the corpus fund apart from the base price. This helps you compare true costs across projects. Comparing only base prices can mislead you.

FAQs


1. What is the main difference between stamp duty and registration charges?

Stamp duty is a state tax that makes your sale deed legal. Brigade Granada units pay 5% stamp duty, since every unit prices above Rs 45 lakh. Registration is a separate fee for recording your ownership. This fee is now 2%, after the August 2025 change.

2. Do buyers need to pay GST on ready-to-move flats?

No. GST only applies while a project is under construction. Once Brigade Granada gets its Occupancy Certificate, GST no longer applies to unsold units. Stamp duty and registration still apply though.

3. Can I get a refund for the corpus fund if I sell my flat later?

No, you do not get the corpus fund back in cash. This fund stays with the property. It transfers to the new owner's association when you sell. It belongs to the building, not to any single owner.

4. Will my bank cover GST and registration fees inside my home loan?

Usually not. Most banks calculate your loan on the base price alone. They leave out stamp duty, registration, and GST. Plan to pay these amounts from your own savings.

5. How is the corpus fund different from advance maintenance fees?

The corpus fund is a one-time payment for big, rare repairs. Maintenance is different. It is a recurring payment for daily running costs, like security, housekeeping, and common area power.

6. Who holds the corpus fund after construction finishes?

Brigade Group holds the corpus fund after possession. Once residents form a Resident Welfare Association, the builder hands over the full fund. This includes any interest it earned.

7. Does the location of the house change the stamp duty rate?

Stamp duty rates stay the same across Karnataka. Your rate depends on property value, not location. But an extra cess can apply in BBMP areas. This matters for Brigade Granada, since it sits near the BBMP and Gram Panchayat border.
