Home / Maintenance Charges
How maintenance charges are typically structured, what they usually cover, who manages them, and the questions worth asking before you book.
Most Gurgaon apartment projects, including high-rise developments in this category, charge maintenance on a per-square-foot, per-month basis, calculated on either the carpet area or the super built-up area depending on the developer's practice - it's worth confirming which basis applies here. On top of the recurring monthly charge, buyers are usually asked to pay a one-time sinking or corpus fund contribution at possession, intended to cover large, infrequent expenses (major repairs, equipment replacement) over the building's life rather than being drawn down for routine upkeep.
What's excluded is just as important to check - individual unit repairs, in-unit appliance servicing, and often a separate charge for parking beyond an allotted number of spaces are typically not covered by the standard maintenance fee.
In the initial period after possession, maintenance is typically handled by a facility management (FM) agency appointed by the developer, since a formal Resident Welfare Association (RWA) usually can't be constituted until a meaningful share of units have been handed over and occupied. Once that threshold is reached, management responsibility - and often the maintenance corpus fund itself - transitions to the RWA, which then either continues with a professional FM company or manages upkeep more directly, depending on what residents decide. This transition period is worth understanding upfront, since maintenance quality and cost structures can sometimes shift once residents take over from the developer's initial arrangement.
Maintenance charges for standard Gurgaon high-rise projects are commonly reported in a broad range of roughly ₹2-6 per sq ft per month in general market coverage, with more heavily amenitised, ultra-luxury developments often sitting toward the higher end or above this range given the scale of facilities they maintain. This is general market context, not a quoted rate for County Sector 88A Gurgaon specifically - the exact current maintenance charge for this project is available on request from the sales team, and may also depend on which phase and tower you're booking in.
Asking these questions upfront, before booking, is generally easier than resolving disputes about maintenance scope and cost after you've already moved in.
