Let us see how these charges add up for a standard 3 BHK priced at Rs 3 crore.
| Component | Amount |

So, a Rs 3 crore apartment actually costs around Rs 3.31 crore when you include all the extras. For a Rs 4.20 crore 4 BHK, the all-in cost would be closer to Rs 4.64 crore.
These costs are not paid all at once. They follow the construction-linked payment plan. Here is when you pay what.
This staggered structure means you do not need the entire amount upfront. You pay as the project progresses.
The base price of The Cascades Neopolis starts at around Rs 3 crore for a 3 BHK and goes up to Rs 5.65 crore for a 4 BHK. The per square foot rate is approximately Rs 10,000 to Rs 11,000. The exact price depends on the unit size, floor rise, and view.
The total cost includes the base price plus additional charges like GST, stamp duty, registration, floor rise, parking, and corpus fund. These extras typically add 18% to 22% to the base price. For a Rs 3 crore apartment, the all-in cost would be around Rs 3.60 crore.
GST is charged at 5% on the agreement value for under-construction properties. However, a one-third deduction for land value applies, so the effective GST rate is about 3.33% of the total cost. For a Rs 3 crore flat, GST would be approximately Rs 10 lakh.
In Hyderabad, stamp duty is 4%, transfer duty is 1.5%, and registration fee is 0.5% (capped at Rs 50,000). This totals around 6% of the property value. For a Rs 3 crore flat, stamp duty and registration would be approximately Rs 18 lakh.
There are no hidden charges, but there are several additional costs you should budget for. These include floor rise charges, car parking fees, clubhouse membership, corpus fund, maintenance deposit, and electrical/water meter charges. Always ask for a detailed cost sheet before booking.
The corpus fund is a one-time contribution for long-term building maintenance and emergencies. It is typically Rs 50 to Rs 100 per square foot. For a 3,000 sq ft apartment, this would be Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh. This is paid at the time of possession.
Car parking is usually charged separately and is not included in the base price. The cost varies by project and parking type (covered or open). At The Cascades Neopolis, expect to pay an additional amount for parking, which could be Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh per slot.
Floor rise is a premium added to the base price for apartments on higher floors. It increases with each floor level, typically by Rs 20 to Rs 50 per square foot per floor. For a 40th floor apartment, this can add significantly to the total cost.
The maintenance deposit is usually collected as an advance for 12 to 24 months of common area maintenance. It ranges from Rs 2 to Rs 3 per square foot per month. For a 3,000 sq ft apartment, this could be Rs 72,000 to Rs 2.16 lakh depending on the period.
Clubhouse membership is often a separate charge, not included in the base price. For luxury projects, this can range from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. Some developers include it in the price, while others charge it separately. Confirm this with the sales team.
