Does HMDA or DTCP change the charges?
No. HMDA and DTCP approve layouts and buildings; they do not set registration charges. What changes the split is the local body: a city or town (GHMC, municipality, corporation) or a village (gram panchayat). Many HMDA and DTCP layouts are in villages. The total is 7.5% either way. HMDA or DTCP approval matters for something else: whether the plot is legal. Check the LP number.
