posted on 4 MayHidden charges after booking are just ridiculous.
I'm looking at a 2BHK in RT Nagar with Keya Homes. They quoted ₹1.2 Cr, but now there are so many extra costs. PLC, floor rise, maintenance deposits, society formation fees… it adds up so fast. Honestly, I thought the initial price was all-in. My parents keep saying negotiate hard, but can you really get more than 2-3% off on a 2BHK in Bangalore? Is this normal, or am I just getting fleeced?

Keya Homes ka reputation kaisa hai for project delivery and quality? Is their RERA status clean for this specific project? Check that before getting too deep into negotiations.
My experience was similar when I booked in Agrahara Layout two years ago. They kept adding charges like 'corpus fund', 'transformer charges', 'BESCOM connection fees' which were never mentioned upfront. I managed to get them to waive off the corpus fund by threatening to walk away. Negotiation is key, but you need to be firm and ready to leave.
Builder ne phir se date extend kar diya lol. These hidden charges are just the beginning.
What about EDC/IDC charges? Were those hidden too? I've heard those are mandatory government charges, but builders sometimes inflate them.
₹1.2 Cr for a 2BHK in RT Nagar sounds a bit steep, even with the location premium. The market is a bit soft right now, so you might have more room to negotiate than you think. Don't settle for 2-3%, try for 5% at least.
Haan bhai, this is super common. Builders quote the bare minimum to reel you in, then all these 'additional charges' pop up. It's frustrating but unfortunately, it's become the norm in Bangalore. Don't feel like you're getting fleeced alone.
Exactly! Mere saath bhi hua Akshayanagar mein. Initial quote was good, but then 10% extra just for these 'miscellaneous' things. It's a mental game they play.
Totally agree with this. Happens everywhere, not just Bangalore.
