What we publish
- Guides and explainers on buying, verifying and financing property in India, published on the PropRaahi blog.
- Community content: questions, answers and experiences posted by users in the forum, and in future, project reviews. These are the views of the people who post them, not PropRaahi. See community content below.
How we research and write guides
- Official sources first. For rules, fees and processes we rely on primary sources wherever possible: the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act and state RERA portals, state registration and stamp departments, the Reserve Bank of India, the income tax and GST departments, and official notifications.
- State differences are flagged. Property law and charges vary by state. When a figure differs between states, we say so and give examples rather than a single number that might not apply to you.
- Rates that change are caveated. Stamp duty, GST, tax provisions and interest rates change. Articles show the publication date, and we ask readers to confirm current figures with the official source.
- Plain language. We explain technical and legal terms the first time we use them.
- Use of AI tools. We may use AI writing tools to help draft and edit content. A person on the PropRaahi team is responsible for every guide we publish.
Corrections
We will sometimes get things wrong, and rules change after we publish. If you spot an error or an outdated figure, please contact us with the page link and the correction, ideally with an official source.
When we make a significant correction to a guide, we update the article and its date.
Independence
- Our guides are written for buyers. Builders, agents and lenders cannot pay to change what a guide says.
- PropRaahi does not accept payment to publish, remove or change reviews or community posts.
- If we ever publish sponsored content, advertising or affiliate links, they will be clearly labelled, and this page will be updated to explain how they work.
Community content
Forum posts and reviews are written by users and reflect their own experiences and opinions. We don't verify every claim users make. We moderate community content under our community guidelines: we may remove spam, abuse, personal information, unlawful content and undisclosed promotion, but we don't remove honest, lawful experiences just because they are negative.
If you believe a post about you or your business is false or unlawful, you can flag it or write to our Grievance Officer.
Not advice
