Apart from the stamp duty and registration fee, purchasing an apartment entails a slew of other fees. One of them is the maintenance charge, which is paid by apartment owners to the society complex or resident welfare association on a monthly or annual basis for the upkeep of the common area. However, homebuyers frequently overlook important details about such costs and end up paying a miscellaneous amount, which causes them to be dissatisfied later.<\/p>\n

On a broader outlook \u2013 maintenance charge is the fee charged by the builder\/housing society\/RWA which goes towards the routine maintenance of the facilities that do not fall under any particular homeowner but are common for all, for example \u2013 maintenance of the swimming pool, regular cleaning of the common area, routine servicing of the lifts, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Typically, housing societies charge maintenance fees based on the size of the apartment or other variables if the apartments are all the same size. A buyer should also be aware of the amenities included in the fee. The maintenance fee ranges from Rs 2 to Rs 4 per square foot. In some cases, builders charge a one- or two-year advance maintenance fee at the time of possession. Furthermore, monthly maintenance charges of Rs 7,500 or less are exempt from GST, whereas if the total collection is less than Rs 20 lakh per year, the societies do not need to register, but if the annual turnover is greater than this, 18% GST will be applicable.<\/p>\n
