Frequently Asked Questions — Wave City Maintenance Charges
What is the maintenance charge in Wave City Ghaziabad?
Wave City charges ₹10 per square yard per month as township maintenance on all residential plots. There is also a one-time IFMS (Interest-Free Maintenance Security) deposit of ₹100/sqyd payable at possession. For flats and apartments, maintenance is set by the individual builder or RWA — typically ₹2.5–₹5 per sqft per month.
Does Wave City charge maintenance on vacant plots?
Yes — the ₹10/sqyd/month maintenance charge applies to all plots including vacant ones. This means even if you have not started construction, you are liable for maintenance from the date of possession. On a 194 sqyd plot that is ₹1,940/month even with no building on it. Always factor this into your holding cost calculations before buying a plot for long-term investment.
Who collects maintenance in Wave City?
Township-level maintenance (the ₹10/sqyd/month charge) is collected by Wave Infratech as the master developer. For individual residential projects within Wave City (SKA Divine, Gaur NYC, County Jade, etc.), the project-specific maintenance is collected by the respective builder or the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) once formed.
Is the IFMS refundable in Wave City?
IFMS (Interest-Free Maintenance Security) of ₹100/sqyd is theoretically refundable when you sell the property — the buyer pays a fresh IFMS and the seller’s deposit is returned. In practice, verify this clause in your specific Builder Buyer Agreement (BBA) as terms can vary. For resale properties, confirm in writing whether the existing IFMS transfers or a fresh deposit is required.
How do I pay maintenance charges in Wave City?
Township maintenance charges can be paid online via the Wave City resident portal or via their dedicated payment app. Smart water meter top-ups are also done via the app. Electricity is pre-paid — you top up your smart meter via the app or at the Wave City customer care centre. Always keep payment receipts as proof.
