A Prestige price sheet quotes the sale value of the home including its car park. Other charges and GST are added on top, and stamp duty and registration come after that. So the number in big type is never the number you pay. Here is how to read the sheet line by line, using the structure of the sheets we have seen for Eaton Park, Garden Breeze and Evergreen.
Line one: the sale value
Each row is a unit type, a tower and a floor band, with a total in lakhs or crores. The sheets for Evergreen and Eaton Park state that the total includes a car park. Floor bands matter: the same plan costs more on higher floors. Prestige's public "onwards" figure, such as the ₹1.39 Cr onwards now quoted for Garden Breeze, is the cheapest row on the sheet, so it describes one type of home on one set of floors.
Line two: other charges
These are due on possession, and the sheet we reviewed for Eaton Park, dated June 2026, listed five of them:
- BESCOM and BWSSB connection charges, billed per sq.ft.
- A generator charge, billed per sq.ft.
- Advance maintenance (CAM) for 24 months, billed per sq.ft.
- A maintenance corpus, billed per sq.ft.
- An assessment charge, a flat amount per apartment.
That sheet printed the other charges as a single rupee figure for each unit. Put side by side, the per sq.ft. items add up to a few hundred rupees per sq.ft., so the charge grows with the size of the home. Treat the rates as an example, not a promise: they can differ by project and change between sheets.
Line three: GST
The Eaton Park sheet applied 5% GST to the sale value, the BESCOM and BWSSB charges and the generator charge, and 18% to advance maintenance and the assessment charge. It also said GST is payable with each instalment and is subject to change. GST rules are set by the government, so ask your sales contact or a CA which rate applies on the day you book.
Line four: stamp duty and registration
These are not on Prestige's sheet because they are paid to the state. For a flat in Bengaluru, stamp duty, cess, surcharge and registration together come to about 6.6%, and plots can be treated differently, so confirm the figure with your bank or CA. Our own budget guide lists headline prices only, which is why every one carries this warning.
How to work out what the home really costs
- Take the sale value of your exact unit from the sheet.
- Add the other charges printed for that unit.
- Add GST at the rates the sheet states, on each item.
- Add stamp duty and registration on the value the state assesses.
- Divide by the super built up area to compare projects fairly.
The last step is the useful one. Two homes with the same headline price can cost very different amounts per sq.ft. once charges and area are counted. It also helps to ask for the carpet area, because the ratio of carpet to super built up area differs from plan to plan.
Reading the payment plan
The sheet's second page is a schedule. For Eaton Park, Prestige marketed a plan titled "Book Now, Pay After Two Years". On the sheet, 10% of the sale value is due on booking and 10% when the agreement is started. The remaining sale value is split into dated instalments running every two months, with a final share on intimation of possession and the other charges billed in full at that point. GST is added to every instalment.
At Evergreen, Prestige says it pays the pre EMI interest on the buyer's loan until May 2028. That helps cash flow, but it does not remove the instalments due early on, and responsibility for the pre EMI moves to the buyer afterwards. Ask your bank how a loan will be disbursed against a dated schedule before you rely on it.
Five questions to put to the sales team
- Which sheet is current, and until what date is it valid?
- What is the exact total for my unit, in rupees, after GST and other charges?
- Where is my car park, and can it be changed?
- When is the RERA completion date, as opposed to the date the schedule bills possession?
- What is the carpet area of my plan?
Ask for answers in writing, check the project on rera.karnataka.gov.in, and compare two projects with the checklist above. The Eaton Park page shows how its sheet is structured, and the 2026 launch comparison shows how the schemes differ.
