A stage-by-stage checklist for buying in Hyderabad / Telangana: budget against a real EMI (repo is 5.25% as of August 2026 — confirm your bank's card), loan pre-approval, TS-RERA number match on rera.telangana.gov.in, Encumbrance Certificate and prohibited-land (Sec. 22A) check, stamp duty on registration.telangana.gov.in, and possession documents. Printable per stage. Not legal advice.
How GST applies to under-construction bookings versus ready-to-move / completed property (typically no GST on a completed unit with a completion certificate). Covers the affordable-housing rate, input-tax-credit rules for promoters, and a worked example on a Hyderabad 3 BHK. Always verify the current rate on gst.gov.in before you sign — this is a briefing, not an assessment.
How Telangana RERA registration works for promoters (fees ₹5–₹10 / sq.m, capped), what a buyer should read on the registered-project page (quarterly progress, approved layout, promoter, complaint status), and how to match the P0… number on a brochure to rera.telangana.gov.in. A “RERA approved” badge with no number is not registration.
Urban sale deeds: 4% stamp + 1.5% transfer duty + 0.5% registration (~6% of the higher of agreement or guidance value). Rural gram-panchayat sales are commonly ~7.5%. No gender concession. Pay on registration.telangana.gov.in. Second half: how GHMC / municipal property tax is assessed (ARV / unit-area) and where to pay. Figures are the 2026 published structure — confirm at the sub-registrar for your survey number.
What a Hyderabad / Telangana residential rental agreement should carry: parties, premises, rent, deposit, lock-in, notice, inventory. Points to the state requirement for police verification of tenants in many urban police limits, and to leave-and-licence vs lease. Templates are starting points — have a local advocate vet the draft. Not a substitute for registration where the tenure requires it.
A 2026 briefing for investors, not a forecast. Asking vs registered rates in Kokapet (Square Yards ₹11,900 / sq.ft asking vs ~₹6,300 registered), the November 2025 HMDA Neopolis land print (₹151.25 cr/acre), Gachibowli’s tighter launch pipeline, and Knight Frank’s city-level +13% YoY. Every figure is sourced; none is a PropYaar appraisal. Use it to ask better questions of a project, not to time a purchase.
