Stamp duty of Rs 29.89 lakh was paid for the registration of the apartment. Till March 31, 2021, the stamp duty payable for registration of apartments was 3%. Stamp duty was hiked to the regular rates from April 1, 2021.

When contacted Faraz Nawab Malik, he confirmed the purchase. He said, “This flat is for family, we will be moving here (Bandra) from Kurla. Every year there’s a flooding in Kurla and hence the decision to shift.”

Along with the flat, the new owners will have an access to three car parks in the building.
