After the launch of the township's construction, its maintenance charges will be available in the cost sheet. Buyers can get more details by contacting the sales team. These charges are only to be paid for a year during the booking time.
Maintenance charges are collected from every person living there to look after the township’s facilities. These fees are calculated depending on the size of the apartment and are set according to RERA rules. They are priced fairly and are planned to fit easily into the buyer’s budget.
The maintenance charges pay for all the costs needed for daily cleaning, fixing things, and making sure the residential community runs smoothly.
- Regular fixing and care of shared spaces like gardens, entry halls (lobbies), and hallways.
- Security guards and services for the whole housing area.
- Cleaning and hygiene services are provided every day.
- The cost of water and power used in shared spaces.
- Fixing and taking care of the elevators (lifts).
- Services to keep away pests and insects.
- Taking care of the plants, grass, and trees.
- Keeping shared facilities like the gym, swimming pool, and community hall in good shape.
RERA rules in India focus on being completely open and honest, making sure all details are shared clearly with buyers. These rules ensure that builders do not make any profit from maintenance fees and that the collected money is used only for the right reasons.
Builders must clearly state all maintenance costs, which are usually set between Rs. 2 and Rs. 25 per sq. ft. According to RERA rules, builders are allowed to collect maintenance charges in advance for a period of 12 to 24 months.
Builders must also clearly explain how the maintenance money will be spent before they hand over the project to the buyers. All maintenance funds must be kept in a separate bank account to ensure better control and clarity.
After the homes are handed over and possession is given, the responsibility for maintenance moves to the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA). The RWA then decides the final maintenance charges for the community.
The billing must always be clear and transparent. GST is applicable if the monthly maintenance amount for a single flat is more than Rs. 7,500.
Yes, GST is charged on maintenance fees in the township in two cases:
- First: GST is charged if the monthly maintenance fee for a single flat is more than Rs. 7,500.
- Second: GST applies if the total yearly income the society makes from its services is more than Rs. 20 lakhs.
However, maintenance fees for affordable housing projects do not have GST. This rule applies to projects that provide basic facilities and have smaller homes.
- Per Sq. Ft.: In this method, the maintenance fees are based on how big the flat is. Larger apartments pay more, and smaller apartments pay less. This system is seen as fair and is used by many townships that follow RERA rules.
- Equal Sharing: In this system, everyone living there pays the exact same maintenance amount, no matter the size of their apartment. This method can only be used if most of the residents agree to it.
- Hybrid: This method uses a mix of both systems. Some services, like fixing the elevators (lifts), are charged the same to everyone. Other costs, like taking care of shared spaces, are calculated based on the square footage of each flat.
