In India, the builder is responsible for paying maintenance charges on unsold flats until they are sold. As per the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), builders must cover these costs since they own the unsold units.
Once a Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) is formed, it can collect maintenance from the builder. If the builder refuses, legal action can be taken through RERA or consumer courts.
Homebuyers should check the sale agreement for specific clauses on maintenance responsibilities. The amount is usually shared proportionally among all flats, ensuring fair upkeep of common areas.
