HI all,
The maintenance cost also depend on the number of owners in an apartment. Less apartments will result in more service charge. Better make a forum unite all the owner of the society and pressurize on builders for unnecessary charges. Otherwise consult a god lawyer and follow what he says.

Hi,
The maintenance charges are fixed at per sq-ft. rate, and thus vary depending upon the area of one flat. For example, if the maintenance is Rs 2/sq-ft for a 1000 sq-ft flat, monthly charge will be Rs 2000 as compared to Rs 3000 for a 1500 sq-ft flat. In most cases the per sq-ft charge is same and does not vary depending upon the size of the apartment.

You are absolutely right Shantanu,
Maintenance charges include all the necessary costs required to maintain the building, common area, terrace, and other amenities including lift. For instance, whether a person is residing on the 1st floor or 8th floor, he is liable to pay for the maintenance of the lift.

It means that the maintenance charges are applicable from the date the possession letter is issued. Thus, irrespective of the fact whether you have occupied the property or not, you are liable to pay these charges. Thus, it is advised that you clear all your maintenance dues failing which the developer will put interest on the dues as well.
