Guides, circle rates, taxes and market notes on property in South Delhi, written by the SouthDelhiFloors desk and published every day. The newest post always leads.
Delhi Master Plan 2047 has been approved by the DDA and sent to the Centre — but it is not law yet. What actually changes for South Delhi builder floors, the Chattarpur–Sultanpur farmhouse belt and the Green Development Area, the Sainik Farms question, and what buyers and owners should do while MPD-2021 still governs.
Buying property in company name vs personal name, decided honestly for Delhi 2026: the company’s 6% stamp rate against the woman buyer’s 4%, the 25.17% corporate rate on rent against personal slabs, the dividend double-layer on exit, perquisite and deemed-rent traps, the share-sale route — and who should actually use a company.
Partition deed stamp duty in Delhi explained for 2026: the 2% rate on the separated share at circle value, compulsory registration, when a memorandum of family settlement needs no stamp at all, why a genuine partition triggers no capital gains — and the ₹2 crore worked example against the conveyance routes.
The Delhi Rent Control Act explained for 2026: why the 1958 law still governs only tenancies under ₹3,500 a month, the Section 14 eviction grounds and the five-year bar on purchasers, why the 1995 replacement never arrived and Delhi hasn’t adopted the Model Tenancy Act — and what it all means when buying or selling a tenanted South Delhi property.
Tax on rental income in India for FY 2026-27, worked for a South Delhi landlord: the 30% standard deduction, municipal tax and home-loan interest rules, the new-regime slabs, the tenant’s 2% TDS above ₹50,000, the NRI landlord’s ~31.2% withholding, GST on renting to companies, and a ₹1.5 lakh/month worked example.
The 2026 guide for an NRI selling property in India: TDS under Section 195 at effective 13–14.95% on the full price, the Form 13 certificate that fixes it, the Budget 2026 no-TAN change effective 1 October 2026, 12.5% capital gains without indexation, and the USD 1 million repatriation route.
Plot vs builder floor in South Delhi, compared honestly for 2026: 100% land vs a ~25% land share, the ₹24 crore plot + ₹5–6 crore build math on a 300-yarder against a ₹7–9 crore ready floor, duty, GST, control, timelines — and who should buy which.
The construction cost per sq ft in Delhi for 2026: ₹1,800–2,200 basic to ₹5,000–6,500+ for the full South Delhi luxury spec, the cost split by head, 18% GST on contractor bills, and the ₹5–6 crore worked rebuild of a 300 sq yd stilt + 4 building.
The total cost of buying property in Delhi, worked on a ₹10 crore floor: 6–8% in stamp duty, transfer duty and registration, brokerage at 1% + 18% GST, why TDS isn’t an extra cost, the ₹50 lakh GST that only applies under construction, and the ≈₹10.93 crore all-in number.
Booking an under-construction builder floor in South Delhi, explained for 2026: why most colony rebuilds are RERA-exempt, construction-linked payment schedules, the diligence before the token, 5% GST and 1% TDS mechanics, delay and exit clauses, and the handover checklist.
GST on under construction property in Delhi, explained for 2026: the 5% no-ITC rate, why the 1% affordable slab never applies in South Delhi, nil GST on completed and resale floors, the ₹40 lakh completion-certificate example, and what survived the September 2025 GST reform.
Power of attorney for property in Delhi, explained for 2026: GPA vs SPA, registration and stamping rules, the consulate-plus-3-months procedure for NRIs, revocation and death, why GPA sales convey nothing, and how buyers verify a seller’s POA.
Rent agreement registration in Delhi, explained for 2026: the 11-month convention, 2% stamp duty on registered 1–5 year leases, mandatory police verification, the tenant’s 2% TDS above ₹50,000 rent, NRI-landlord rules, and the clauses that protect South Delhi landlords.
