Buy RERA-Registered New Homes in Mumbai, India. Every Cost in Writing.

For many families, yes. Borivali West has Metro Line 2A at Mandapeshwar, Eksar and Borivali West, the Western Railway line, established schools and markets, and Sanjay Gandhi National Park close by. Whether it suits you depends on your all-in budget and commute, so tell me both and I will say so honestly.

New supply is mostly redevelopment and mid-rise towers around I.C. Colony and New Link Road. Romell Ariana in I.C. Colony is one ongoing project, MahaRERA No. PR1180002400010. Send me your brief and I will share the RERA-registered options that fit, each with its registration number.

Kandivali West suits buyers who want the Link Road and Mahavir Nagar belt, or a planned layout like Charkop. Borivali West suits buyers who want I.C. Colony, Shimpoli and quick access to the national park. Both are on Metro Line 2A, so compare the commute, the carpet area and the all-in cost for each shortlist.

Yes. New launches cluster around Charkop and the Link Road, mostly 2 and 3 BHK towers, many of them redevelopment of older society buildings. Serene Elysia in Charkop is one ongoing project, MahaRERA No. PM1180002601340.

Malad West draws working buyers because of Mindspace, the Link Road and Metro Line 2A at Malad West and Lower Malad, with the Western Railway line close by. Traffic and project quality vary a lot from one pocket to another, so I compare specific RERA-registered projects, not the suburb as a whole.

Andheri West, around Lokhandwala, Versova and D.N. Nagar, has Metro Lines 1 and 2A and an established social scene, and it usually costs more for the same carpet area. Malad West often gives you more home for the same budget, with Metro 2A and Mindspace nearby. The right answer depends on your commute and all-in budget.

Much of the new supply in Andheri is redevelopment of older societies. Check the MahaRERA registration, the completion date the developer has committed to, the carpet area on the registration and the occupation certificate status. I share these in writing for every project I recommend.

Go to maharera.maharashtra.gov.in, choose Registered Projects, and search the registration number printed on every project card on this site. The certificate shows the promoter, the sanctioned plans and the completion date the developer has committed to.

Stamp duty in Mumbai is 6% of the agreement value, made up of 5% stamp duty and 1% metro cess, or 5% for a woman buying in her sole name. The registration fee is 1%, capped at ₹30,000. GST of 5% applies to under-construction homes that are not affordable housing, and none applies after the occupation certificate. Use the calculator above for your figures.

Agreement value, plus stamp duty, registration fee, GST on under-construction homes, and the charges outside the agreement: parking, maintenance deposit, society formation, legal and infrastructure charges. The calculator covers the first four, and I send the project cost sheet for the rest.

You pay about 10% of the agreement value at booking and the balance 90% on the occupation certificate. Taxes and registration are usually paid separately at agreement. Romell Ariana offers this plan on Band 1 homes.

Yes. NRIs and OCIs can buy residential property in India. Payment comes through NRE, NRO or FCNR accounts, and a power of attorney can sign on your behalf in Mumbai. I help with the sequence and the documents.

It depends on the project. Before you book, I tell you in writing exactly who pays what for that project, so there is nothing to discover at registration.

Borivali, Kandivali, Charkop and Dahisar first, then Malad, Andheri, Vile Parle and Bandra. If your brief is elsewhere in Mumbai, send it and I will tell you whether I can help.
