In case builder is not answering our queries then only other way to get our answers is by filing an RTI with CIC,Haryana wrt this project in terms of the total sanctioned area, scalable area,amount payable,whether EDC is payable on carpet area or SBU area.
why don't we file an RTI with deptt of town and country planning to find out the following:
1. no of flats for which they have submitted the plan to DTCP and for which they have got the license to construct?
2. size of the group housing project(their buyer agreement says 49 acres,is it still the same or less after reported news of diverting some green area to schools and hospitals)?
3. what is the total FAR/FSI of the project as per the license issued to them?
4.What are the components on which EDC is payable whether carpet area or (super built up)SBU area?
I've seen a copy of latest notification from DTCP,Haryana and have done some quick back of the envelope calculation. As per the notification,new EDC rate for group housing project for the years 2009-13 has been fixed @ 232 lacs/gross acre wef 01.01.2009 which is to be increased or decreased @ 10% compunded annually from the date of license granted to the builder. In the case of RPS,Savana the license was granted in June,2006. Hence, for their project the payment should be reduced for year 2008-06 @ 10% compounded anually and should be somewhere around 170 lacs/gross acre. Assuming the total project are to be 49 acres (as per the plot buyer agreement) the total amount payable comes to Rs. 83 crores. As far as I know the present FAR allowed in Haryana is 1.75 which should take the total carpet area to 4.1 million sq.ft(49 acres x 4800 x 10 x 1.75). This comes to around Rs. 202/sq.ft.of carpet area, where as they are demanding Rs. 256/sq.ft.(Rs. 125 charged earlier and fresh demand of 131/sq.ft.) on the super built up area. For a flat of 1791 sq. ft. the carpet area is not more than 1150-1200 sq.ft.
In my view they are overcharging in the range of 2-3 lacs per flat buyer, which also explains their reluctance in facing the buyers.
If at all we have to pay the revised EDC it should be under protest, at the time of making the payment.
