One guntha = 1,089 square feet, about 2.5 cents. A 30 by 40 site = 1,200 square feet, about 2.75 cents. Land in Udupi and Mangalore is normally priced per cent. - Karnataka stamp duty is 5 percent for property valued above 45 lakh, with lower slabs below that. The registration fee rose from 1 percent to 2 percent with effect from 31 August 2025. Both are charged on the higher of sale value or government guidance value. - All land in Karnataka is agricultural by default. Section 95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 allows conversion to non-agricultural use. Without it there is no khata, no building plan sanction, no bank loan and no legal construction. - Under FEMA, an NRI or OCI cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property or a farmhouse in India. Residential and commercial property can be bought freely with no limit on units and no RBI permission. Agricultural land can only be inherited. - K-RERA registration is required where project land exceeds 500 square metres or there are more than eight units.
