If buyer is a women,no regn fee is payable. However, my builder says, scanning charge of 9k is payable. Is it correct?

Q: The builder says although registration charges are waived, scanning charges will have to be paid additionally, however, it is not mentioned in demand note.

It is illegal and you don't need to pay any scanning charges. If builder is forcing you to pay then challenge him in the court. Builder is charging unnecessary charges because Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has asked the developer to pay "Betterment Charges" which he want to recover from the buyers.

I am agree with Devesh........and also advised you not to pay such unnecessary charges to builder. Following the AMC notification, developers are expected to pay up to 20% more over the current jantri rate. This could increase land costs which would ultimately be passed on to the consumer.
