Buying a home in Bhopal: stamp duty, loan, prices

Calculate for Bhopal

Buying: no stamp duty is computed for Madhya Pradesh; the home loan calculator works everywhere.

Bhopal against the rest of India

Neither the NHB press release nor the list of the RBI's 18 cities carries Bhopal, so Payotte has no price movement to report for it, and gives none rather than borrowing another city's.

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Madhya Pradesh off that scale.

Bhopal lies at 23.3°N, 77.4°E. The nearest of the other 43 cities is Indore, 170 km to the west, then Nagpur (290 km, south-east) and Jaipur (440 km, north), as the crow flies. No other city on Payotte lies within 150 km. The farthest is Thiruvananthapuram, 1,645 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Ahmedabad, 495 km away, at +7.9%: a neighbour's number, not Bhopal's own.

Madhya Pradesh has one other city on Payotte: Indore. None of them has a RESIDEX figure either.
