LUC Tax (Land Under Construction Tax)

My builder Godrej Properties Mumbai has suddenly asked for a LUC Tax worth INR 2 laks to be paid. I bought a house in Jan 2019 after OC was received. I bought at a price which was inclusive of all taxes. But now during final payment they have suddenly added an amount of INR 2 lakhs for LUC. Is it legal . Can I file a case against builder for harassment or cheating.

Mr. Amit, We too have received email from Godrej to be ready to pay LUC. They are yet to advise the amount. Earlier at no point in their Tabulated Information from 2015, LUC was (never) mentioned. I have asked Godrej to pin point the clause in the agreement on the basis of which they are asking for LUC. Vasant Deshmukh

Hi Kunal, I too have received LUC notification from Shivam for Godrej Tranquil. Have been trying to figure out ever since on whether we are liable to such charges. Guys, would really appreciate any information on this. Also, Shivam reps mentioned they will not initiate apartment possession process without this payment.

Hello, We too have bought the flat in the same project and we were shocked to see this 5 digit LUC amt. Godrej properties never mentioned about this in the cost sheet.
