It depends on the size, the rate of PLC, location and alignment and construction quality.

IFMS ( Interest Free Maintainance Security ) is levied by the builder on the possessor of the flat because till 2 years after possession of the flat, the possessors do not pay the monthly maintenance charges because the management committee of the society has to be formed. So, during these two years, it is the responsibility of the builder to maintain the society.

EDC/IDC - EDC refers to the external development charge and IDC refers to the infrastructure development charges. EDC is levied by the builders on the buyers of flats for the purpose of developing the area or space outside the flat but within the precincts of the project. This would include the inside roads, lights, lawns and other such spaces which are of use for all.

IDC, on the other hand, is levied by the government on the builder for developing the infrastructure such as roads, street lights, pavements and other such public works
