Question 1

Is Vedhara Group a builder or a broker?

Accepted Answer

Neither in the traditional sense. Vedhara Group is an independent real estate advisory and brokerage firm. We are not a builder (we don't develop properties). We are a RERA-compliant property advisor and channel partner who represents buyers, sellers, investors, and NRIs — and lists verified projects from developer partners.

Question 2

Is Vedhara RERA registered?

Accepted Answer

Vedhara Group operates in compliance with RERA registration requirements applicable to real estate agents in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. RERA agent registration numbers are disclosed on request and on relevant transaction documents.

Question 3

What are the total costs involved in buying a property in Delhi NCR?

Accepted Answer

Total acquisition cost includes: Base price + PLC (preferential location charges) + EDC/IDC (external/internal development charges) + GST (5% for under-construction, nil for ready) + Stamp duty (4–7% depending on state and buyer category) + Registration charge (1%) + Brokerage (if applicable, typically 1–2%). All-in costs typically add 12–18% above base price for under-construction properties.

Question 4

What is RERA and how does it protect property buyers in Delhi NCR?

Accepted Answer

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is a central government Act (RERA Act 2016) administered by state-level regulatory authorities, HRERA in Haryana, UP RERA in Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi RERA in Delhi. It mandates developer registration of projects above a threshold size, requires regular construction progress reporting, caps advance payment at 10% before agreement, and provides a complaint mechanism for buyers against builders. RERA does not eliminate risk but significantly improves accountability and transparency.

Question 5

Should I buy a ready-to-move or under-construction property?

Accepted Answer

Ready-to-move properties eliminate construction risk and allow immediate possession, but typically carry a price premium and require GST-free but full stamp duty upfront. Under-construction properties offer deferred payment through construction-linked plans and potential for lower entry prices, but carry delivery risk and GST at 5%. The right choice depends on your financial position, risk tolerance, and how urgently you need possession.

Question 6

What properties can an NRI buy in India?

Accepted Answer

NRIs and PIOs (Persons of Indian Origin) can purchase residential property (flats, apartments, villas) and commercial property (office, retail, warehouse) in India without RBI approval. Agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses generally cannot be purchased by NRIs without specific RBI permission. All purchase consideration must flow through NRE or NRO banking channels.

Question 7

Is an 11-month rent agreement legally valid in Delhi NCR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 11-month agreements are legally valid and widely used across Delhi NCR specifically to avoid the mandatory registration requirement that applies to agreements of 12 months or more. Notarised 11-month agreements are enforceable in court. However, for higher-value rentals or where stronger legal protection is needed, Vedhara recommends registered agreements regardless of tenure.

Question 8

Does a Verified badge on a listing guarantee there are no risks?

Accepted Answer

No. The Verified badge confirms a project has passed Vedhara's five-point check at the time of listing. It is a strong starting signal, not a substitute for your own lawyer's final review before signing any agreement.
