FAQ
About these comparisons

No. They explain general choices every first-home buyer faces. Where we mention The Shalott Marque, it is to show where it fits, not to set a price.
Are the rupee figures real prices?
No. Every ₹ figure on these pages is an illustrative example worked out with the same formulas as our calculators. Use the tools to put in your own numbers.
Where do the rules you quote come from?
From the RERA Act, 2016, the CGST Act and its rate notifications, RBI directions on home loans, and state stamp duty rules. Rules change, so confirm the latest with the authority or your adviser.
