Karnataka's 5% stamp duty (3% stamp + 2% registration above 45L; 2% stamp + 2% registration for 21-45L) is the lowest in South India, making Bengaluru attractive for first-time IT buyers. Union Bank's Bengaluru ORR, Whitefield, and Electronic City branches run dedicated MNC payroll tie-ups with Wipro, Infosys, TCS, and Mphasis.
