Hello Mr. James, welcome to MyFaridabad forum.
Just to update all members in forum:
1. Greater Faridabad Welfare Association (GFWA) is pro-development and welfare association for Sectors 75 to 89. It had conducted meetings with Chief Minisiter and other seniormost officers in Haryana Govt. like Mr. S.S.Dhillon in the past for pushing development. The process continues. Depsite litigation, We (GFWA) are currently in constant touch with Director General of DTCP Mr. T.C.Gupta in Chandiagrh and HUDA Administrators in Faridabad & Chandigarh.
2. We are NOT asking for stay on original EDC. We are asking for quashing of increased EDC charges which are totally unfair and illegal. Reasons are below:
a) As per the latest RTI reply received by GFWA member (just 1 month back), Haryana Govt. has around Rs 816 cores (excluding interest) collected from builders in Sectors 75 to 89 and around 50% of amount is still outstanding with builders even for original EDC. If we take this amount, it comes to Rs 1600 crores (excluding interest).
b) As per the recent budget approved for 31 kms of master roads, ONLY Rs 209 crores have been allocated. If we even extrapolate this amount to entire length of master roads, it will come to be ONLY 300 crores. Construction of roads is the most expensive part in EDC services.
c) Form a) and b) above, it is clear that Govt. has lot of money (even huge surplus) collected from even original EDC which is sufficent for complete development of Sectors 75 to 89.
d) hence, there is no justification of demanding increased EDC.
3. GFWA is NOT the only one involved who are fighting for EDC. Even Greater Faridabad Builders have made the association called New Faridabad Developers Association and they are having similiar petition in High Court for stopping these illegal practices which are harmful to home buyers and for Real Estate for Faridabad
