[ecis2016.org] Here is what home buyers should know about BSP or basic sale price of a property
Housing projects that come with amenities have two types of components – the basic sale price or basic selling price (BSP) and an all-inclusive cost. While the all-inclusive cost includes several other charges, such as preferential location charges (PLC), internal and external development charges (IDC and EDC), club membership charges and so on, the BSP may or may not include floor rise and one-time maintenance charges.

The BSP is the base cost per sq ft of the property, for which it is listed for sale by the seller. Usually, it does not include additional charges for amenities, floor rise, preferential location, parking and other maintenance dues.
Example of BSP
Suppose you saw an advertisement, where a 2BHK is available at Rs 3,000 per sq ft. Therefore, a 1,000 sq ft apartment would cost you Rs 30 lakhs. However, this is not the actual cost of the apartment, since there are various unadvertised charges that you need to pay over and above the basic sale price of Rs 30 lakhs. These additional costs can be up to 20% of the BSP.
