Bengaluru property's 'all-in' cost is a myth.

Moved into my Columbia Pacific Communities 2BHK near Bendiganahalli last month. Yaar, the final bill had so many 'hidden' charges beyond the agreement price. Things like IFMS, club house membership, and a 'corpus fund' added almost ₹3.5L extra. My hack: *always* demand a full, itemized all-in cost breakdown *before* signing anything. I managed to get the PLC waived off, but these smaller charges caught me off guard. Also, stamp duty calculation can be tricky with guidance value. Hope this helps someone avoid surprises.
