Diwali property offers in Mohali can be worth it only when the final all-in payable amount falls below comparable options. A real saving is a cut in base price or a waiver of a charge you would actually pay. Freebies and deadlines prove nothing. Compare written cost sheets before paying any booking amount.
Key Takeaways
- A headline discount is a marketing number. Your net effective cost is the real number.
- Some festive offers are genuinely useful. Others offer very little real saving. The cost sheet tells you which is which.
- Freebies should be valued at what you could buy them for, and only if you needed them anyway.
- Ready-to-move and under-construction homes carry different risks. A bigger discount never cancels delivery risk.
- Dhanteras is on 6 November 2026 and Diwali on 8 November 2026. The calendar is cultural, the due diligence is non-negotiable.
Why a ₹10 Lakh Banner Works on Our Brain
Imagine a developer advertises a ₹10 lakh Diwali discount on a property. Will you immediately assume that you are saving ₹10 lakh?
Most of us do. The number lands first, the questions come later, if at all. That reaction is human, not foolish, and it is exactly why festive campaigns are built around one big, bold figure.
Direct Answer
Buyers overestimate festive savings because six mental shortcuts work together: anchoring, urgency, fear of missing out, freebie appeal, price framing and festive emotion. None of this means offers are fake. It means the headline number is not your saving until the cost sheet confirms it.
Anchoring Effect
Your mind fixes on the first number it sees, usually the original advertised price, and judges everything against it.
Example: “₹10 lakh off” feels huge. But if comparable homes nearby were already cheaper than the original price, the anchor was inflated.
Urgency
“Offer valid till Diwali” compresses the time you would normally spend comparing projects.
Example: Three site visits become one, and the cost sheet is read in the car park.
Fear of Missing Out
Hearing that “only two units are left at this price” makes waiting feel like losing.
Example: You book the first unit offered instead of the one that actually suits your floor and facing preference.
Freebie Perception
Gold coins, cars, modular kitchens and vouchers feel like extra value even when you never planned to buy them.
Example: A “₹10 lakh interiors package” you would have designed differently costs you flexibility, not just money.
Price Framing
A big discount pulls attention away from the final payable amount, which is the only number that leaves your bank account.
Example: A ₹10 lakh cut with newly added charges can leave your total almost unchanged.
Emotional Buying
Dhanteras and Diwali carry real sentiment. A new home feels like a blessing, so the spreadsheet gets skipped.
Example: A family commits on festival day, then discovers the possession timeline is longer than they assumed.
For a market-price angle on discounts, our companion article “10 Lakh Discount Doesn’t Always Mean You’re Getting a Good Deal” explains the 5-Price Test. This guide goes further on festive offers specifically: what each offer type is worth, and how to verify it in Tricity.
Diwali Property Offers in Mohali: Overview
Direct Answer
Diwali property offers Mohali buyers see usually fall into three groups: reductions in price, waivers of specific charges, and non-cash extras such as interiors, gold or vouchers. Payment-plan and loan-linked schemes form a fourth group. Each group has a different real value, and offers change by project and by week.
We deliberately do not list any developer’s current scheme here. Offers change quickly, differ from unit to unit and sometimes end before a blog gets updated. What lasts is the method to evaluate them, and that is what this guide teaches. For what is live today in a specific project, ask Royals directly and we will help you compare it against alternatives.
Whether you are looking at an apartment on Airport Road, a flat on VIP Road in Zirakpur, a commercial unit or a resale home, the evaluation logic is identical: convert the offer to rupees, compare the final all-in cost, and verify the project.
Why This Matters in 2026
Festive buying is no longer only about sentiment. Home loans, project stage and total acquisition cost make a bigger difference to a household budget than the festive gift attached to the booking. Three reasons make careful evaluation more important this year:
- Offers are more varied. A single scheme may mix a price cut, a charge waiver, a freebie and a payment plan, which makes simple comparison hard.
- Buyers have more options. Ready-to-move homes, resale units and new launches across Mohali, Zirakpur and New Chandigarh compete for the same budget.
- Information is easier to verify. RERA registration, cost sheets and comparable listings can be checked before booking, so there is little reason to decide on pressure alone.
When a Festive Offer Genuinely Helps
Direct Answer
A festive offer genuinely helps when it lowers your total payable amount, waives a charge you would actually pay, or improves your payment flexibility on a project you already like. If the offer is the only reason you are interested, the project, not the offer, is the problem.
Benefit 1: A Real Reduction in Total Cost
A cut in base price is usually the strongest benefit, because other costs that depend on agreement value can fall with it. Our worked example below shows how a ₹10 lakh base cut can be worth more than ₹10 lakh once duty is calculated on the lower value.
Benefit 2: Waivers on Charges You Would Have Paid
A PLC or floor-rise waiver is valuable only for a unit that carries such a charge. A waiver on a unit with no PLC is a headline, not a saving.
Benefit 3: Better Payment Flexibility
Construction-linked plans, deferred schedules and loan-linked schemes can ease cash flow. Their value depends on cost of funds and conditions, which we explain in the benefit-types section.
The ₹10 Lakh Discount, Calculated
A buyer sees a festive advertisement: “Get ₹10 lakh Diwali Discount!” The same headline can hide three very different realities.
Scenario A: Genuine Price Reduction
The base price falls by ₹10 lakh. Every other charge stays the same as the pre-offer cost sheet.
Scenario B: Offset by Other Charges
The base price falls by ₹10 lakh, but PLC, floor-rise, parking or other charges are raised or newly added.
Scenario C: Freebie-Heavy Offer
No base price cut. The buyer gets appliances, interiors, gold or vouchers “worth ₹10 lakh”, but the market value is lower.
| Item (₹ lakh, hypothetical) | Pre-offer sheet | A: Genuine cut | B: Offset | C: Freebies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original base price | 150.00 | 150.00 | 150.00 | 150.00 |
| Festive base price | 150.00 | 140.00 | 140.00 | 150.00 |
| Direct price reduction | — | 10.00 | 10.00 | 0.00 |
| PLC and floor-rise charges | 4.00 | 4.00 | 7.00 | 4.00 |
| Parking | 3.00 | 3.00 | 4.50 | 3.00 |
| Maintenance and other mandatory charges | 2.00 | 2.00 | 3.00 | 2.00 |
| Agreement value | 159.00 | 149.00 | 154.50 | 159.00 |
| Stamp duty and registration (assumed 8%) | 12.72 | 11.92 | 12.36 | 12.72 |
| Advertised value of freebies | — | — | — | 10.00 |
| Estimated market value of freebies | — | — | — | 4.00 |
| Total payable amount (cash) | 171.72 | 160.92 | 166.86 | 171.72 |
| Actual cash benefit vs pre-offer sheet | — | 10.80 | 4.86 | 0.00 |
| Real saving as % of pre-offer total | — | 6.3% | 2.8% | 0% cash |
Hypothetical figures. Scenario C’s freebies are shown separately and not subtracted from the cost, because their value depends on whether you would have bought them anyway.
The Formula
Net Effective Property Cost = Base Price + Applicable Charges + Statutory Costs + Other Mandatory Costs − Genuine Monetary Savings. Freebies are shown separately at estimated market value and are not automatically subtracted.
What the three scenarios teach
- Scenario A saves slightly more than ₹10 lakh because duty is charged on a lower agreement value. A base cut works through the whole bill.
- Scenario B shows why the earlier cost sheet matters. Compared with the pre-offer sheet, only about ₹4.86 lakh of the headline survives.
- Scenario C delivers no cash benefit. Whether it has value depends on your needs. A kitchen you would have bought has value; a voucher you will never use does not.
To run this check on a real offer, collect the pre-offer cost sheet and the current festive cost sheet, then compare line by line. If you want a second pair of eyes, share your cost sheet with Royals.
Cash, Waiver, Freebie, Deferral, Financing: Five Different Things
Marketing often merges these into one “offer value”. Separate them before you compare.
| Type | What it is | How to value it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Direct cash saving | Base price reduced or an amount returned | Full rupee value. Confirm total payable falls by the same amount. |
| 2. Waived charges | PLC, floor-rise, parking, club or similar charges removed | Worth the charge only if your unit would have carried it. |
| 3. Non-cash freebies | Gold, appliances, interiors, vouchers, travel | Estimated market value, and only if you need them. Do not equate with advertised value. |
| 4. Payment deferral | Delayed instalments or construction-linked schedules | A cash-flow benefit, not a price cut. Check any cost of deferral in the agreement. |
| 5. Financing benefits | Loan processing waiver, subvention, “no EMI till possession” | Compare total interest cost and conditions. Often the cost is built into price elsewhere. |
13 Types of Diwali Property Offers: What to Verify
Direct Answer
Common festive offers include base-price discounts, PLC and floor-rise waivers, parking benefits, stamp duty support, interiors, gold or vouchers, appliances, flexible payment plans, subvention schemes and loan benefits. Their value differs widely. Not every project offers all of them, and many carry conditions.
We are not claiming that any project in Mohali or Zirakpur offers these right now. This is a reference list of what buyers may encounter. Tap each one to see what it means, how it helps, what to verify and what conditions may apply.
1. Direct base-price discount
What it means: The developer lowers the per-unit or per-area base rate.
Benefit: Lowers your agreement value, and with it duty and often loan amount and interest.
Verify: Pre-offer vs current cost sheet; whether other charges changed.
Conditions: May apply only to selected units or if booked by a date.
2. Waiver of PLC (Preferential Location Charge)
What it means: The extra charge for a preferred location in the project is removed.
Benefit: Saves the exact PLC your unit would carry.
Verify: Whether your unit has PLC at all, and its amount on the earlier sheet.
Conditions: May be limited to specific towers or floors.
3. Waiver of floor-rise charges
What it means: The per-floor premium is removed.
Benefit: Meaningful on higher floors.
Verify: The floor-rise amount on your unit and whether the base rate quietly increased.
Conditions: Often unit-specific.
4. Parking benefits
What it means: A parking slot is included free or at a reduced charge.
Benefit: Saves a charge you would otherwise pay.
Verify: Covered or open, allotted or on-first-come basis, and the slot’s documented number.
Conditions: Some projects include one slot only.
5. Stamp duty or registration support, where applicable
What it means: The developer says it will bear or share part of duty and registration costs.
Benefit: Can be significant because statutory costs are a large line item.
Verify: Exactly what is covered, in writing, and how it is adjusted. Read our Punjab stamp duty guide.
Conditions: Often structured as a price adjustment, not a payment to the government on your behalf.
6. Modular kitchen and interiors
What it means: A fitted kitchen, wardrobes or a full interior package comes with the unit.
Benefit: Saves effort and time if the design suits you.
Verify: Brand, materials, specification sheet, warranty and what happens if you decline.
Conditions: You may be locked into the developer’s design and vendor.
7. Gold coins and vouchers
What it means: A gift of gold or shopping vouchers on booking or registration.
Benefit: Real value if the gift is a tangible item you want.
Verify: Weight, purity, voucher validity and the date it is delivered.
Conditions: Often released only after a milestone payment.
8. Appliances and electronics
What it means: ACs, TVs or similar items are given with the home.
Benefit: Useful if you needed them anyway.
Verify: Brand, model, quantity and warranty.
Conditions: Delivery may be at possession, not at booking.
9. Flexible payment plans
What it means: A booking and instalment schedule different from the standard plan.
Benefit: Eases cash flow.
Verify: Whether the base price differs between plans.
Conditions: Missing a milestone may carry charges.
10. Construction-linked payment plans
What it means: You pay as construction milestones are reached.
Benefit: Payments follow visible progress.
Verify: Milestone definitions and an independent look at site progress.
Conditions: Terms must match the agreement for sale.
11. Subvention or deferred payment schemes
What it means: The developer, a lender or both arrange to cover part of the early payments.
Benefit: Lower early outflow.
Verify: Who pays interest, for how long, and what happens if possession is delayed.
Conditions: The cost may be priced into the unit. Read the loan agreement carefully.
12. Home loan processing fee benefits
What it means: The processing fee is waived or reduced under a tie-up.
Benefit: A one-time saving.
Verify: Whether the interest rate or other charges differ from the lender’s standard offer. See our RBI repo rate and EMI guide.
Conditions: You may be limited to specific lenders.
13. “No EMI till possession” schemes
What it means: EMIs on the loan are not paid by you until possession.
Benefit: Improves early cash flow.
Verify: Who actually bears the interest, the scheme’s duration and what happens on delay.
Conditions: Interest cost may be recovered elsewhere in the deal.
Mohali, Zirakpur & New Chandigarh: Why Location Changes Offer Value
Direct Answer
The same festive offer can be worth very different amounts depending on micro-location, project quality, carpet area, construction stage, developer track record, connectivity, maintenance, rental demand and resale competition. Diwali property offers Mohali buyers see must be judged against the specific corridor, not against the city average.
A ₹10 lakh benefit on a well-connected, ready home in an established area is a different proposition from the same amount on an early-stage project in a developing belt. Compare these parameters across the shortlist:
| Parameter | Why it changes offer value |
|---|---|
| Micro-location | Determines resale depth, rental demand and daily convenience |
| Project quality | Specifications, density, open areas and upkeep affect long-term value |
| Carpet area | Compare price per carpet area, not super area |
| Construction stage | Under-construction carries delivery risk. Ready allows inspection. |
| Occupancy | A well-occupied society reflects real demand and shows maintenance quality |
| Developer record | Past delivery and complaints matter more than the festive gift |
| Connectivity | Access to roads, workplaces and schools affects both use and resale |
| Maintenance and rental | Ongoing charges reduce net returns; rental demand varies by pocket |
| Resale competition | Many similar units nearby can slow resale |
| Total acquisition cost | The final all-in figure after all charges and statutory costs |
Mohali
Mohali buyers typically weigh established residential sectors against newer pockets near Aerocity, IT City and Airport Road. Established sectors offer maturity and resale depth. Newer corridors can offer more choice and newer specifications, but with more variation in stage and approvals. Browse properties in Mohali, compare luxury property in Mohali and Zirakpur, or see commercial property in Mohali.
Zirakpur
Zirakpur’s micro-markets behave differently from one another: VIP Road, Patiala Road, PR-7 Airport Road, High Ground Road, Dhakoli, Lohgarh, Peer Muchalla and the Chandigarh–Ambala Highway belt. Project density is high in several of them, which makes resale competition a real factor. Explore residential projects in Zirakpur before judging any festive scheme.
New Chandigarh
New Chandigarh is a planned-sector story with a longer horizon, where approvals, project stage and infrastructure timelines carry more weight than a festive gift. See properties in New Chandigarh and our comparison New Chandigarh vs Mohali.
Connectivity
Check the actual commute from your workplace and from the school, not just a distance on a brochure map. Visit at peak hours on a working day.
Infrastructure
Verify what is completed, what is sanctioned and what is only planned. Our GMADA development updates track official planning developments, and timelines can shift.
Employment Growth
Rental demand follows workplaces and institutions. Look at current occupancy around IT City and commercial pockets rather than relying on projected employment.
Future Developments
Treat announced projects as possibilities until they are funded and under construction. A festive discount should never be paid for in exchange for an assumption about the future. For broader investment context, read best areas to invest in Tricity.
Current Market Trends
We do not publish local price or yield statistics we cannot verify. What can be said with confidence is how festive offers are being discussed nationally. Business Standard’s 22 October 2026 report notes that festive packages tend to lean on incentives such as PLC, floor-rise, stamp duty and registration waivers, alongside payment plans and gifts, rather than on outright price cuts. It also reports industry executives advising buyers to benchmark the final all-in price per unit of carpet area against recent registered transactions in the same micro-market. That is a national picture, not a Tricity-specific one, but the buyer’s method is the same everywhere.
Outlook Money’s festive buying guide makes a similar point: the most useful offer is the one that makes sense for you, and a deadline should not stop you from doing the basic checks (read it here).
Price Analysis: Without the Noise
Prices in Tricity differ project to project and can change every few weeks. Rather than print numbers that go stale, this table shows how to think about positioning. Royals shares current starting prices on a call, and for the rest of the detail, talk to an expert.
| Area | Current price positioning | Future potential: what to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Established Mohali sectors | Reflects maturity and ready availability. Starting prices vary by sector and age. | Resale depth, rental demand and maintenance quality |
| Aerocity and Airport Road | Wide spread between projects, with both ready and new stock | Connectivity, project execution and approvals |
| IT City belt | Mixed. Depends heavily on project stage. | Actual occupancy of workplaces, not projections |
| Zirakpur: VIP Road, Patiala Road, PR-7 | Broad range from budget to premium; offers differ by project | Supply competition and highway access |
| Zirakpur: High Ground, Dhakoli, Lohgarh, Peer Muchalla, Ambala Highway | Varies sharply by project quality and stage | Developer record and delivery status |
| New Chandigarh | Planned sectors at different stages | Approvals and infrastructure timelines over a longer horizon |
Measure festive savings as a percentage of total cost, not as a headline number: Real saving % = (Pre-offer total − Offer total) ÷ Pre-offer total × 100. In our hypothetical example, that was about 6.3% in Scenario A and 2.8% in Scenario B.
Ready-to-Move vs Under-Construction: Don’t Let a Discount Decide
Direct Answer
Neither is always better. Ready-to-move homes let you inspect construction, occupancy and society conditions before paying. Under-construction homes can offer flexible payments and choice but carry delivery risk. A larger festive discount should never distract from possession timeline or project quality.
| Factor | Ready-to-move | Under-construction |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | Actual construction can be inspected | Only progress and plans can be inspected |
| Possession | Immediate, or soon, with occupancy that can be assessed | Depends on RERA declared timeline and execution |
| Rental potential | May be evaluated against actual neighbouring rentals | Starts only after possession |
| Society and maintenance | Observable today | Unknown until occupied |
| Payment | Typically mostly upfront or loan-funded | Milestone-linked, with flexibility |
| Holding and financing cost | Lower waiting period | You may pay rent plus EMI during construction |
| Main risk | Condition and pricing against resale options | Delay, quality at handover and agreement clauses |
For under-construction properties, verify
- RERA declared timeline and current registration validity
- Actual construction progress against the declared schedule
- Payment milestones and what each one triggers
- Agreement clauses on delay, cancellation and refund
- Total holding and financing cost during the waiting period

How to Negotiate a Better Diwali Property Deal
Direct Answer
Negotiate the total, not the headline. Ask for the pre-offer cost sheet and final all-inclusive price, compare similar units, ask whether a freebie can become a price reduction, and get every benefit in writing. Never pay booking money because of artificial pressure.
- Ask for the pre-offer cost sheet. It is your baseline.
- Ask for the final all-inclusive price. One number, every charge included.
- Compare similar units in the same project. Floor, facing and view change value.
- Compare similar properties in the same locality. Ready, resale and new launch.
- Ask whether a freebie can be replaced with a direct price reduction. Business Standard’s report quotes experts suggesting buyers ask exactly this.
- Negotiate parking, PLC or floor-rise charges. These often have more flexibility than base price.
- Confirm the offer applies to your chosen unit.
- Get every benefit in writing. In the cost sheet, allotment letter and agreement for sale.
- Do not pay booking money under artificial pressure. A genuine offer survives a 48-hour check.
Negotiate according to your needs, not the biggest discount in the market. A buyer who needs a ready home and a car parking slot should push on those, not on a gold coin. For why prices move after launches, read why builders increase property prices.
Dhanteras & Diwali 2026: Does Timing Matter?
Dhanteras falls on Friday, 6 November 2026, and Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) on Sunday, 8 November 2026. For many families these dates carry real cultural weight, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to begin a new chapter on an auspicious day.
But auspicious timing should not replace due diligence. We make no claim that property prices fall during Diwali, or that festive offers are always better than offers at other times of the year. If the checks above are not complete by Dhanteras, it is often wiser to finish them and book later than to book first and verify afterwards.
Investor, Buyer & NRI Perspective
Short-Term Considerations
Festive offers affect your upfront cost and early cash flow. For a self-use buyer, a charge waiver or flexible plan may matter most. For an investor, the offer matters far less than entry price against comparable resale and rental demand.
Long-Term Considerations
Over years, location, build quality, maintenance and the developer’s delivery record dominate. A good project at a fair all-in price beats a mediocre project with a generous gift. We do not guarantee appreciation or rental returns on any property.
Investor Perspective
Treat a festive offer as one input in your entry price. Compare it with ready and resale options, and consider holding cost. See our smart property investment guide.
Buyer Perspective
Live in the home in your head. Visit at different times, check daily convenience and decide whether the monthly outflow suits your income, with or without the offer.
NRI Perspective
If you are buying remotely, insist on a live video walkthrough, a documented cost sheet and independent verification, and plan banking, documentation and compliance early. Read our NRI Property Investment Guide 2026.
Pros and Cons of Festive Buying
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Possible real savings through price cuts or charge waivers | Headline numbers can overstate actual benefit |
| Flexible payment plans can ease cash flow | Deadlines can rush comparison and due diligence |
| Developers may be more open to negotiation | Freebies may have low market value or limited usefulness |
| Cultural and emotional significance for families | Emotion can overpower financial comparison |
| Loan-linked benefits may reduce one-time costs | Costs may be shifted to other lines or priced in elsewhere |
Who Should Buy Now, Who Should Wait
It may suit you to buy if…
- You have already shortlisted a project and checked it
- Your finance and loan eligibility are ready
- The offer is documented and lowers your total cost
- The home meets your actual needs
It may be better to wait if…
- You have not compared at least two or three alternatives
- Title, RERA or agreement checks are incomplete
- The offer is mostly freebies you don’t need
- You are being pressured to pay today

10 Frequently Asked Questions
Are Diwali property offers in Mohali really worth it?
They can be, but only case by case. An offer is worth it when the final all-in cost, in writing, is lower than comparable ready or resale options and the project’s approvals and delivery record check out. A big banner number alone proves nothing. Treat the offer as a bonus on a deal that already makes sense.
How can I verify a ₹10 lakh property discount?
Ask for the pre-offer and current cost sheets and compare them line by line: base price, PLC, floor-rise, parking, maintenance and other charges. Then add statutory costs. If the total payable has fallen by roughly the claimed amount, the discount is real. If other charges rose, only the net difference counts.
What should I check before buying a property during Diwali?
Check the cost sheets, written breakup of the offer, eligibility and validity date, whether it applies to your unit, RERA registration, title and approvals through independent professionals, developer record, payment schedule, cancellation and refund terms, possession timeline and statutory charges. Get every promised benefit recorded in writing.
Which charges are included in a property cost sheet?
A cost sheet typically lists base price, preferential location charge, floor-rise charge, parking, club or amenity charges, maintenance deposit and other developer charges, followed by statutory costs such as stamp duty, registration and, where applicable, GST. Items vary by project, so ask which charges are mandatory and which are optional.
Are free interiors and gold gifts genuine savings?
Only partly. Their worth is the market value of what you receive, not the advertised value, and only if you would have bought it anyway. Check brand, specification, weight, purity and delivery timing. Ask whether a freebie can be swapped for a price reduction, and do not subtract advertised freebie value from your cost.
Is Diwali a good time to buy property in Zirakpur?
It can be if the project, price and paperwork are right, but the calendar alone does not make a purchase good. Zirakpur micro-markets such as VIP Road, Patiala Road and PR-7 differ widely. Complete your comparison and checks first. If they are not done by Dhanteras, it is fine to book afterwards.
Should I buy a ready-to-move or under-construction property?
Neither is always better. Ready homes let you inspect the property, society and occupancy, while under-construction homes offer flexible payments but carry delay and delivery risk. Choose by your need for possession, budget and risk comfort. A large festive discount should not outweigh project quality or possession timeline.
How do I check a project’s Punjab RERA registration?
Visit rera.punjab.gov.in, open the Registrations menu, choose Search Registered Projects, and search by project name, promoter or registration number. Check validity, declared completion date, approved plans and complaints. Match the registration number on the brochure and agreement with the portal. Registered agents can be searched separately.
Can I negotiate a better property deal during Diwali?
Yes, often. Ask for the pre-offer cost sheet and the final all-inclusive price, compare similar units, and negotiate parking, PLC or floor-rise charges. Ask whether a freebie can become a direct reduction. Prepared buyers with finance ready usually negotiate better. Record all agreed benefits in writing before paying a booking amount.
Can Royals help me compare property offers in Mohali and Zirakpur?
Yes. Royals can help you compare offers, projects and overall cost, shortlist options by requirement, coordinate site visits and assist with negotiation and documentation coordination. Royals does not provide legal advice, so have agreements and titles reviewed by a qualified property lawyer. There is no consultancy or site visit fee under our stated service model.

Final Verdict
Diwali property offers Mohali buyers see can be a genuine opportunity, but only when you measure them the right way. Convert the offer to rupees, build the net effective cost, compare the total with ready and resale alternatives, and verify the project on the official RERA portal. If the numbers and paperwork hold, enjoy the festive timing. If they don’t, the offer was never the deal.
