Questions people actually ask

At current resale levels a 300 sqm plot in Sector 18 starts near Rs 1.80 crore. Smaller plots in less developed sectors come in lower. Add stamp duty, registration, lease rent and transfer charges on top of whatever the plot price is.

A scheme is far cheaper. RPS-10/2026 allotted at roughly Rs 36,260 per sqm against a resale market at Rs 80,000 and above. But a scheme offers 973 plots against tens of thousands of applicants, so it is a lottery. Apply in every scheme you are eligible for, and buy in resale when you actually need a plot.

No. Authority plots are leasehold. That is standard across the Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA belt and it does not weaken your title, but it does mean the authority sits in the middle of every transaction.

Plot loans are available from most lenders, on different terms from a home loan on a built unit. Lenders will want the lease deed registered. Get your sanction in principle before you negotiate, not after.

7 per cent for a male buyer, 6 per cent for a female buyer and 6.5 per cent for joint ownership, calculated on the circle rate or the transaction value, whichever is higher. The registration fee is 1 per cent of property value.

It confirms the authority has received everything owed on the plot. Without it there is no registry. If a seller cannot produce one, the file is not ready.

The authority document that records a change of allottee on a plot. On a resale, you become the recognised allottee only when it is issued. Your lease rent is calculated on the authority rate prevailing on that date.

Several weeks to registry on a clean file, with the sub-registrar appointment itself taking about a day, and the possession letter following roughly 60 days after registration. Plan on three to four months from token to possession letter.

It can be, and the entry price is often better. It also carries the highest incidence of broken transfer chains, where one earlier transfer never got authority approval. It needs heavier diligence, not avoidance.

No. A GPA does not transfer ownership of an authority plot and the authority will not recognise you as the allottee. It is the most expensive shortcut available on this corridor.

Ask for the UP RERA registration number and verify it on the UP RERA portal. Registration is mandatory and the penalty for operating without it is Rs 10,000 per day of default, extending up to 5 per cent of the transaction value.

That risk is real and you should price it. The airport is open and the Medical Device Park and Apparel Park are being built, so the demand story is not hypothetical. But the Toy Park in Sector 33 has been slow despite lease deeds being executed, social infrastructure is thin, and metro connectivity is proposed rather than running.

Yes, both under authority schemes and in resale. Settle the payment route with your banker and the tax treatment with your chartered accountant before you pay a token.

Appearance is required at the sub-registrar. If you cannot be there, execute a specific power of attorney in favour of someone you trust, properly attested for use in India, and do it before the deal goes live rather than during it.
