Latest Answer: Hi Mr Javed,
According to me, if someone buys a new flat for Rs 1 crore and assuming the cost of UDS is Rs 40 lakh, the construction cost would be approximately Rs 60 lakh (which would exclude taxes such as service tax, VAT). Earlier, a buyer was paying Rs 3.20 lakh (8% of UDS i.e Rs 40 lakh). The buyer needs to shell out an additional Rs 1.20 lakh (2% of construction cost ie Rs 60 lakh), resulting in a total of Rs 4.40 lakh.
