Urbanrise Whispers of Sky Maintenance Charges
Urbanrise Whispers of Sky maintenance charges are collected to cover the daily running costs of the community. In this project, maintenance is calculated at ₹3.5 per square foot per month.
For simplicity, the builder calculates it annually:
₹3.5 × 12 months = ₹42 per square foot per year.
Since the charge is based on square footage, the total maintenance amount varies depending on the size of the apartment.
Based on the above rate, the estimated maintenance amount for different configurations is shown below.
| Configuration | Size (Sq. Ft.) | Annual Maintenance (₹42 × Sq. Ft.) | |
| 3 BHK | ₹5,540.50 | ||
| 3 BHK Grand (3T) | 1815 Sq. Ft. | ₹6,352.50 | ₹76,230 |
| 4 BHK Elite (3T) | 2350 Sq. Ft. |
The above amount is collected as 12 months advance at the time of purchase.
Advance Maintenance Collection
When you buy an apartment, Urbanrise collects maintenance charges for 12 months in advance. This is shown in the cost sheet as "12 Months Advance Maintenance Charges."
This amount is paid along with the apartment cost, parking charges, and corpus fund.
Collecting maintenance in advance helps the project run smoothly from the time residents start living there. It ensures there is enough money to manage daily expenses.
After the first year, maintenance payments are usually made directly to the Residents' Association. The association may collect the amount monthly or quarterly, based on its rules.
What Do Maintenance Charges Cover?
Maintenance charges are used for regular day-to-day expenses, such as:
- Security staff salaries
- Cleaning and housekeeping
- Electricity for common areas
- Water supply and pump maintenance
- Lift servicing
- Upkeep of facilities like the clubhouse and gym
- Gardening and landscaping
Difference Between Maintenance Charges and Corpus Fund
Maintenance charges and the corpus fund are used for different purposes.
Maintenance charges are regular payments used to cover daily running expenses.
The corpus fund is a one-time payment made at the time of purchase. This money is kept aside for major repairs in the future. It can be used for lift replacement, big structural repairs, repainting the building, or emergency repairs.
In simple words:
Maintenance Charges = Daily running expenses
Corpus Fund = Money saved for big future repairs
Knowing the difference helps buyers understand the cost details more clearly.
Why Maintenance Charges Are Necessary
Maintenance charges help keep shared areas clean and working properly. In a large residential project like Urbanrise Whispers of Sky, many services run every day. Security staff work in shifts. Lifts operate throughout the day. Lights in common areas stay on. Amenities need regular cleaning and servicing.
All these services cost money and happen regularly.
Maintenance charges help share these costs among all apartment owners. The amount is usually based on the size of the apartment.
Since the charge is linked to square footage, bigger apartments pay more and smaller apartments pay less. This makes the system fair and organised.
