EDC/IDC charges

[bachhil71]

Dear All,
Kindly do not pay any money to the builder in the name of EDC/IDC.
The EDC/IDC charges are on a very higher side.
I am trying to get the copy of memo regarding EDC/IDC charges levied in Faridabad from Chief town planner, Chandigarh.
Moreover the method of EDC/IDC calculations is to be known from the builder.
I need your support.
Regards,
Ashish

Dear All Buyers of SRS Royal Hills

I went to SRS office today , they shared with the letter from Huda asking about enhanced EDC charges . Following were the details of the letter.

- The letter had no date - which is surprising , how can a govt. letter not have a date.
-The refused to give us copy of the letter but just showed it to us.
- The letter had no mention of the name SRS Royal hill , it just had reference of "license no. 69 of 2008" . SRS say this license is for Royal Hills , this needs to be verified.
- They didnt had any details of calculation on the basis of which EDC has been calculated
- They verbally confirmed that the money will be adjusted ,if the courts decision is in buyers favor.
- They confirmed that IDC charges remain same Rs 25 per sq feet.
- The letter no. DGTCP/ACCTTS/2011/787 has asked SRS to pay enhanced EDC of Rs 1811.66 lacs but no explanation was given on how it translates to Rs 158 per sq feet.

Overall everything is fishy , no proper explanation was given . More over we need to verify what is the total area under License 69 and how much of this area is under Royal hills , just to be doubly sure that we dont end up paying EDC for " Future Use" area for SRS.

Hi all

I am also having a 2BHK flat in SRS Royal Hiils and recently got a demand letter from them regarding the increased EDC charges of Rs. 1.61 Lacs (@ Rs. 158/-) which I have to decposit by 05/10/2011.
I have come to know that ‘Greater Faridabad Welfare Association’(Regd.), a welfare association actively working for Sectors 75 to 89, Faridabad for the development of the said area, in which SRS Royal Hills flat owners including myself are also Members, has filed a Writ Petition bearing No. CWP No. 14886 of 2011 before the Punjab & Haryana High Court, Chandigarh for quashing the above notification of the DTCP/ HUDA vide in which the External Development Charges (EDC) were increased from retrospective.
I would like to further inform you that the said matter was listed for first hearing on 16.08.2011 and after hearing the Petitioner, the Hon’ble High Court was pleased to issue notice to the State Authorities and directed the State Authorities to file their reply and accordingly fixed-up the matter for 01.11.2011 for further hearing. A certified copy of the order shall be available soon as I get the same from Greater Faridabad Welfare Association’(Regd.) for our ready reference.
I also demand some answers in written from them in Addition to above for my confidence building from them which are as under:-
1. I paid EDC / IDC charges in June 2010. Can they please provide me with the receipt for the same where SRS Real Estate Ltd has deposited that to the authority.
2. Do they have a formal circular from the Town and country planning department, Haryana which has asked you to collect the increased EDC from their customers?
3. Please provide me with the formal letter which talks about that it is applicable for the people who have submitted COMPLETE EDC/IDC in 2010 and applicable to OLD projects as well.
Further I had a word with their lady executive on phone asking the copy of above mentioned notification but she bluntly denied to send me the same and best part is that SRS people are not ready to disclose the basis of calculation on which they are demanding increased charges from their buyers.
I have also come to know that govt. is demanding for charges in installments from builders then why they are forcing us to pay in one shot.
I have a friend who have booked a 3BHK flat in Piyush Heights in 2006 which is still due for posession. He is also facing the same problem like we are and he and other members of Piyush Group had a meeting with Executive Vice President of Piyush Heights yesterday regarding the same issue.

Dear Member

Me and some other members of SRS Royal Hills visited the SRS office on 24/09/2011 and discussed enhanced EDC issue with Mr. Pawan and Mr. Praveen, minutes of the meeting are configured as under for all concerned:-

1) They showed us the memo that have been received from HUDA under which it was stated that SRS group submitted some X amount with HUDA till date and HUDA is demanding further some of Rs. 265 Lacs from them out of total outstanding. We were not able to figure out that the demand was against SRS Royal Hills Project or that was against the total projects that comes under SRS group.

2) We asked them to provided the basis of calculation accoding to which they have devided the enhanced EDC amount towards their buyers, but they were not able to provide the details at that juncture.

3) We also informed them that GFWA has file a writ petition against this Memo issued by HUDA the out come of which is expected by 1st of November 2011, in view of which can they grant us the time till the final verdict of court, but they denied.

After long dicussion we have come to the conclusion that lets meet together on coming saturday with their director as he was not available on that day and discuss this case in front of him

Further am posting a e-mails (regarding the enhanced EDC) received from my friends who have invested in Piyush Group, which is as under:-


M/s Piyush Buildwell India Ltd.
A-16/B-1,Mohan Co-Operative Industrial Estate.
Main Mathura Road, New Delhi – 110044

The document attached by Piyush group is public notice in news paper not a formal letter to Piyush Group. Kindly read it carefully and give me information on below. Without these information I will not be able to pay increased EDC charges for Flat on "Piyush Heights", Sec 89, Faridabad.

My queries are :

1) Formal circular/letter from the Town and country planning department, Haryana which has asked you ( Piyush Group) to collect the increased EDC. How much they are charging to piyush group.

2) How piyush group is calculating and charging Rs : 140/Sqft. ( like => Under which density area Piyush Height – sec 89 Faridabad Projects comes under,=> what is the amount finally piyush group have to pay once it is reduced by 10% p.a. on compoundable basis, => whether this increased EDC has been distributed to all : Residential flats, commercial shops and so called school area).

3) In purview of writ Petition bearing CWP No. 14886 of 2011 before the Punjab & Haryana High Court, Chandigarh for quashing the above notification of the DTCP/ HUDA : Divisional Bench of High Court judges directed the lawyers representing HUDA, DTCP and State Govt. that no punitive action can be taken against plot/flat owners who are NOT paying this increased EDC till the matter is closed. Next hearing date is: 1 Nov 2011.

In view of above, since the payment of enhanced EDC is sub-judice before the Punjab& Haryana High Court, Chandigarh, I request you to extend the date of deposit of the said enhanced EDC amount till further notice and proceed further to offer possession and registration of flats .

Hi Honey

Can you update with some details about the meeting held last saturday with SRS director?

Arindam

[honey malhotra]

Hi arindam and other members of SRS Royal Hills

After herculian effort of sorting out the problems related to enhanced EDC with buildiers and HUDA authorities, no positive outcome has been worked out till now.

So i have decided to not to pay any money to the builder till final verdict of the court and if builder impose any penalty on the delayed payment than surely am honna fight against it.

Hope all the members listed as above will agree with me

[rana_007delhi]

Hi Friends
Is there any update on Court's ruling on enhanced EDC ?
Should we pay or not ?

[KamalP]

Dear SRS Royal Hills member,

I have posted my details in the excel sheet along with one more member (Pawan Khare)

Pls come and post your details in the sheet so that we can contact each other for further discussion.

I would also like to know with all SRS Royal members to know about the payment of enhanced EDC. Whether you have paid or not.

Also we are not sure about the calculation for EDC charges. Till date we have paid total Rs 151 + 158 = Rs 309/sq ft of EDC.
Is this correct and whether all other builders demanded the same amount.

HI MR. KHARE, IT IS EASY TO BECOME GFWA ONLINE MEMBER. PLS FILL THE GFWA MEMBERSHIP FORM ALONG WITH RS 500 MEMBERSHIP FEE ONLINE.

Thanks
