Registration Process
Registering your home at Brigade Neopolis Hyderabad is a legal step that makes you the official owner. This guide walks you through the complete process in Telangana, from booking to getting the sale deed in your name. We cover stamp duty, documents, and the IGRS portal steps so you know exactly what to expect.
Two Registrations You Need to Know About
When you buy a home at Brigade Neopolis, you will go through two separate registrations. Each serves a different purpose.
| Registration Type | When It Happens | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement for Sale | Early, after booking and before paying more than 10% | Locks in price, carpet area, possession date, and payment terms |
| Sale Deed | At or after possession, once Occupancy Certificate is ready | Transfers legal ownership from Brigade Group to you |
The agreement protects you during construction. The sale deed makes you the legal owner. Until the sale deed is registered, your name does not appear in government records as the owner, even if you have paid all installments and have the keys.
Stamp Duty and Registration Charges in Telangana
Telangana levies three separate charges when you register a property. These are calculated on the higher of the agreement value or the government's market value for the area.
| Charge | Rate (2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stamp Duty | 4% | Same for all buyers, no gender concession |
| Transfer Duty | 1.5% | Municipal transfer fee |
| Registration Fee | 0.5% | Capped at Rs 50,000 |
| Total | ~6% | Of property value |
On a Rs 4.9 crore 3 BHK, this works out to roughly Rs 29.4 lakh in total charges. The registration fee portion stops at Rs 50,000 regardless of how high the property value goes.
GST is separate from these charges. For an under-construction property like Brigade Neopolis, GST at 5% applies until the Occupancy Certificate is issued.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
Here is the complete process for registering your Brigade Neopolis home in Telangana.
Step 1: Booking and Allotment
You select your unit, pay the booking amount, and receive an allotment letter from Brigade Group. This letter confirms your unit number, configuration, and basic pricing.
Step 2: Review and Sign the Agreement for Sale
Brigade Group shares the draft agreement for sale. Read every clause carefully. Check the carpet area, total price breakdown, payment schedule, possession date, delay penalty, and structural defect warranty. Once you are satisfied, both parties sign.
Under TSRERA rules, the builder cannot collect more than 10% of the total cost before a registered agreement is in place. This protects you early in the process.
Step 3: Pay Stamp Duty and Registration Fees Online
Visit the IGRS Telangana portal at registration.telangana.gov.in. Generate an e-Challan for stamp duty and registration fees. You can pay through net banking, debit card, credit card, or at an SBI branch. Save the payment receipt and challan number.
Step 4: Book an Appointment at the Sub-Registrar Office
Use the IGRS portal to book a slot at the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) that has jurisdiction over Kokapet. High-demand offices fill up quickly, so book as early as possible.
Step 5: Attend the SRO with Required Documents
On the appointment day, you and the builder's authorized signatory must be present. Bring two witnesses with valid ID. Biometrics will be captured, and the document will be signed in front of the Sub-Registrar.
Step 6: Collect the Registered Document
After registration, you receive the registered document. Physical copies are often provided the same day. Digital copies become available for download from the IGRS portal within 24 to 48 hours.
Documents Required for Registration
Getting your documents ready in advance speeds up the process. Here is what you need.
| From Buyer | From Builder |
|---|---|
| PAN card (mandatory) | RERA registration certificate |
| Aadhaar card | Allotment letter |
| Passport-sized photographs | Approved building plan |
| Payment receipts | Draft agreement for sale |
| Stamp duty payment proof | Title documents |
NRIs need additional documents. These include passport copies, valid visa, overseas address proof, NRE or NRO account statements, and a Power of Attorney if they cannot be physically present in India.
Registration Timeline and Tips
The registration process for the agreement for sale typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from booking, depending on how quickly documents are prepared and appointments are available.
- Book early: SRO appointment slots in Kokapet fill up fast, especially during peak season.
- Verify before you pay: Always check the RERA registration number and approved plans before paying stamp duty.
- Keep digital copies: Download and store multiple copies of the registered document from the IGRS portal.
- Track your DRN: The Document Reference Number lets you check the status of your registration online.
Registration for NRIs
NRIs can buy and register property in Telangana. If you cannot travel to India, you can execute a Special Power of Attorney in favor of a trusted representative. The POA must be signed before the Indian embassy or consulate and properly notarized and apostilled. The POA holder can then attend the SRO on your behalf.
Ensure the POA specifically authorizes property purchase and registration. General power of attorney for property transactions faces additional scrutiny.
