Check that the project is registered with GujRERA (Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority).

You can verify the project's RERA registration number, approved building layout, completion timelines, and developer credentials on the official GujRERA portal.

- GujRERA Registration Certificate

- Title Clearance / Encumbrance Certificate

- Approved Layout Plan from AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) or AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority)

- Non-Agricultural (NA) Land Permission

- Building Use (BU) Permission / Possession Certificate

In Gujarat, property registration typically involves:

Stamp Duty : Usually 4.9% of the market value or jantri rates (whichever is higher).

Registration Fee : Standard 1% fee (concessions may apply for women/joint ownership).

Yes. Additional costs include stamp duty & registration fees, GST (for under-construction properties), AUDA/AMC development charges, maintenance deposits, and legal/documentation fees.

No, GST is not applicable on ready-to-move-in properties that have obtained a valid BU (Building Use) Permission. GST applies only to under-construction properties.

Yes. NRIs and OCIs can purchase residential and commercial properties in Gujarat without prior RBI approval. However, purchasing agricultural land or farmhouses requires specific government approvals.

Yes. Leading private and public sector banks provide home loans for properties that hold clear land titles, AMC/AUDA approvals, and GujRERA registration.

The standard residential lease agreement in Ahmedabad is executed for 11 months to avoid compulsory registration under the Indian Registration Act. For long-term commercial leases, 3 to 9-year agreements registered with sub-registrar offices are common.

In most residential properties, landlords typically request a security deposit equivalent to 2 months' rent. For commercial spaces, security deposits range from 3 to 6 months of rent.

Regular society maintenance charges are usually borne by the tenant unless negotiated otherwise in the rental agreement. Major capital repairs (e.g. structural work or elevator replacements) remain the property owner's responsibility.

Jantri rate is the minimum rate fixed by the Gujarat government for evaluating property for stamp duty and registration fees. The stamp duty is calculated on whichever is higher: the actual transaction price or the applicable jantri rate.

A BU Permission is issued by the AMC or AUDA certifying that the building has been constructed according to approved plans, safety codes, and structural guidelines. Occupying a property without a valid BU permission is illegal and may prevent access to basic municipal connections or home loans.

After registering the sale deed, the buyer must apply for mutation in AMC municipal records to transfer property tax assessments into their name and update revenue records (Form 7/12 for rural/periphery land).

Key factors include proximity to major business corridors (such as SG Highway, Ashram Road, or Sindhu Bhavan Road), parking ratio, maintenance costs, expected rental yields (typically 6%– 8%), and anchor tenant profiles.
