The cost including cost of land (as notified by Govt.), cost of construction (actual basis), departmental charges, etc. charged from original allottees, who entered the scheme in the initial stage, was as under:

Category II : Rs.5.35 lakh to Rs.6.76 lakh

Category III : Rs.8.95 lakh to Rs.9.14 lakh

depending on the plinth area of the flat. The cost charged from the subsequent allottees during the years 1998-99, 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 varied from case to case depending on the year of entry in the Scheme, payment deposited by the allottee from time to time. The variation in cost is mainly because of change in land rates, updation of the cost of construction and interest component depending on the year of entry in the scheme. The amount realized from the allottees was as per the approved costing formula of DDA.
