NOIDA: The Federation of Noida Residents' Welfare Associations (FONRWA) on Monday protested the 10.5% hike in residential land prices by the Noida Authority.
N P Singh, president of FONRWA, said, "The land in Noida is either sold out or belongs to farmers. So what land does the authority propose to increase the prices of? When they don't have land to sell or buy, they have no right to increase the rates. It's just a ploy to make Noida an expensive city for homebuyers and make money at the expense of its residents," said Singh.
According to Singh, the proposed increase will also affect transfer, registry and stamp duty charges, burning a bigger hole in the homebuyer's pocket. "The common man is already burdened by buying a residential property. How will he arrange the funds to meet such an increase in property prices?" asked Singh.
His views were echoed by Noida industries since the authority also increased the rates of industrial land. "We are certainly not happy with the hike in industrial land rates," said Vipin Malhan president, Noida Entrepreneurs' Association.
