One of the most common surprises that flat buyers in Jaipur encounter is the gap between the advertised price and the final amount they actually pay at the time of registration. The sticker price on a brochure is rarely the complete story and buyers who do not educate themselves about all the additional charges involved often find themselves stretched financially at critical stages of the purchase. At Kuldhara Builders & Developers, transparent pricing is a core commitment. This guide breaks down every cost component involved in buying a flat at Royal Retreat in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur.
The Base Sale Price is the per-square-foot rate applied to the Super Built-Up Area (SBUA) or Carpet Area of the apartment. This is the number prominently advertised in project brochures and digital campaigns. For Royal Retreat, 3 BHK + Study apartments start at Rs 1.31 Cr (all-inclusive pricing), making it straightforward for buyers to understand the base commitment.
Under-construction residential properties attract GST at 5% of the agreement value (without input tax credit) for projects where the value per unit exceeds Rs 45 lakhs. For affordable housing projects (value below Rs 45 lakhs), the GST rate is 1%. At Royal Retreat, which is a luxury project, GST at the applicable rate applies and should be factored into your total budget. Ready-to-move properties where the occupancy certificate has been obtained before sale do not attract GST.
Stamp duty is a state government tax levied on the property's registered value. In Rajasthan, the stamp duty rate for residential property transactions is currently 5% for male buyers and 4% for female buyers (subject to notification changes). On a property valued at Rs 1.5 Cr, this translates to Rs 7.5 lakh for male buyers or Rs 6 lakh for female buyers a significant amount that must be budgeted in advance.
In addition to stamp duty, property registration charges are payable to the Sub-Registrar's office at the time of executing the sale deed. In Rajasthan, registration charges are typically 1% of the property value. On a Rs 1.5 Cr flat, this adds approximately Rs 1.5 lakh to your cost.
PLCs are additional charges levied by builders for apartments with premium positioning within the project such as higher floors, corner units, park-facing orientations, or specific tower positions. At Royal Retreat, PLCs are clearly defined in the pricing document and vary by floor and unit position. Understanding PLCs before selecting your unit helps you compare the true cost of different options within the project.
Car parking is often not included in the BSP at luxury projects. At Royal Retreat, covered basement parking is available and parking charges are clearly itemised. Buyers should confirm the number of parking spots allocated per unit and the per-spot charge as part of their initial cost assessment.
Gated communities with premium amenities typically charge a one-time club membership fee and a maintenance deposit (or corpus fund) at the time of possession. The club membership fee gives residents access to the 22,600 sq.ft. clubhouse and all lifestyle amenities at Royal Retreat. The maintenance deposit is held by the Residents' Welfare Association and used for long-term upkeep of common areas. Both should be asked about explicitly during the booking conversation.
While Royal Retreat delivers apartments with premium standard specifications, most buyers invest in additional interior design modular kitchens, wardrobes, enhanced lighting, feature walls, and furnishings. Budgeting Rs 10 to Rs 20 lakh for interior work in a 3 BHK + Study or 4 BHK + Study apartment is realistic for a quality fit-out, though this varies enormously depending on taste and lifestyle.
If you are financing the purchase with a home loan, factor in the processing fee (typically 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount), property insurance, and in some cases, mortgage insurance or loan protection insurance that banks may recommend. These costs are not large individually, but they add up.
For illustrative purposes a 3 BHK + Study apartment at Rs 1.31 Cr BSP in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur: GST at 5% adds approximately Rs 6.55 lakh; stamp duty at 5% on total agreement value adds approximately Rs 7 lakh; registration at 1% adds approximately Rs 1.4 lakh; PLC and parking at approximately Rs 5 to Rs 8 lakh; club membership and deposit at approximately Rs 2 to Rs 3 lakh. Total all-in cost (before interior): approximately Rs 1.52 Cr to Rs 1.57 Cr. This is illustrative actual figures depend on the specific unit, floor, and applicable rates at the time of purchase.

Starting from a Base Sale Price of Rs 1.31 Cr, the all-in cost including GST (approximately 5%), stamp duty (approximately 5%), registration (approximately 1%), PLC, parking, club membership, and maintenance deposit typically brings the total acquisition cost to approximately Rs 1.52 Cr to Rs 1.60 Cr, depending on the specific unit and floor. Kuldhara provides a complete itemised cost sheet to every buyer upfront.
No. In Rajasthan, stamp duty is currently 5% for male buyers and 4% for female buyers. Properties registered in a woman's name or jointly with a woman as first holder attract the lower rate. On a Rs 1.5 Cr flat, this difference saves approximately Rs 1.5 lakh a meaningful incentive for joint registrations.
A PLC is an additional amount charged for apartments with premium positioning — higher floors, corner units, or park-facing orientations. PLCs at Royal Retreat vary by floor level and specific unit position. The complete PLC schedule is available in the pricing document provided by the sales team.
Car parking is itemised separately from the Base Sale Price at Royal Retreat, as is standard for premium gated community projects. The number of parking spots per unit and applicable charges are clearly provided in the cost documentation. Buyers should confirm parking allocation for their specific unit type at the time of booking.
GST on under-construction flat purchases is paid progressively with each payment instalment made by the buyer during the construction period, rather than as a single lump sum. As you pay each instalment under the construction-linked payment plan, the applicable GST is payable on that instalment amount.
Yes, absolutely. Transparency in pricing is a core commitment of Kuldhara Builders & Developers. Every prospective buyer at Royal Retreat receives a complete, written, itemised cost breakup covering BSP, GST, PLC, parking, stamp duty, registration, club membership, and maintenance deposit before any booking amount is collected.
