very unfair

There is a lot of ambiguity in how superarea is to be calculated any varies from company to company. The agreements are one sided and the ambiguity works in the favour of the Developer. However some key questions are :
1. EDC and IDC are levied on the plot area and therefore the cost is distributed on the built up area, at the time of the launch of the project. Since the land area has not increased, there is no additional charge to Emaar MGF. Hence it is illegal to demand additional charges from the Owners.
2. Superarea calculations must be transparent and calculations certified by an Architect.
3. Emaar MGF must also provide a statement of the change in superarea. What is the increase in the area of the apartment, and how much outside.
For example if you increase the balcony width, no additional FAR is lost, so the additional cost to the Developer is negligible. Or if you increase the shaft size for pipes, to demand a pro rata increase in superarea which is based on an airc conditioned space is unfair.
