Greater Noida first home: What costs are truly hidden?

My lease ends in 4 months, still figuring out buying my first home in Greater Noida. Looking at Sector 22A, saw some JDS Real Estate Company projects. Honestly, budgeting beyond the property price is my biggest worry. What are the actual hidden costs like stamp duty, registration, and interiors that people often miss? Any site visit checklist tips for things builders won't volunteer? Don't want surprises.

Bhai, you've hit the nail on the head! This is exactly my biggest fear right now. I'm also looking in Greater Noida, not Sector 22A specifically, but the whole hidden cost thing is a nightmare. Builders will quote one price, and then registration, stamp duty, interior fit-outs, IFMS, parking, club membership – it all adds up to another 15-20% easily. My cousin got burned badly in a project near Alpha I, thought he had a good deal, ended up paying way more. Don't want to make that mistake.
