GDA has clarified that the plot area mentioned in the brochure is approximate and may vary slightly at the time of registration or execution of sale deed, in which case the cost is adjusted as per actual area.

Plot price and registration amount

The basic allotment rate for all plots under this scheme is ₹35,000 per square metre. Based on this uniform rate, GDA has specified the minimum reserved price category-wise, as shown in the brochure.

Illustratively, the indicative minimum prices for key categories are:

• Category A (200 sq m): ₹70,00,000 (200 × 35,000).
• Category B (150 sq m): ₹52,50,000.
• Category C (120 sq m): ₹42,00,000.
• Category F (90 sq m): ₹31,50,000.
• Category H (40 sq m): ₹14,00,000.

For registration (booking) of plots, the applicant must deposit a registration amount (iathdj.k /kujkf’k) as a percentage of the plot cost. For General category applicants, the registration amount is 10% of the tentative plot cost, while for reserved categories (SC/ST etc.) the registration amount is 5% of the tentative cost. This amount is to be deposited along with the online application form through banking channels as per the format given in the brochure.

Eligibility conditions

The brochure prescribes specific eligibility conditions for applicants.

• The applicant must be an Indian citizen.
• The applicant must be at least 18 years of age as on the date of application.
• The applicant or any member of his/her family should not already own any immovable property (house/plot) in the Ghaziabad development area allotted by GDA or other housing authorities.
• Further, the applicant or family members should not have more than one residential house/plot allotted by GDA, Avas Vikas Parishad, Housing Board or other government departments in the State, as per the conditions mentioned in the brochure.

GDA has also reserved a percentage of plots for special categories (SC/ST etc.), and different registration amounts and certain relaxations apply as prescribed.

Payment terms and bank finance

After successful allotment, the buyer is required to deposit an additional percentage of the plot cost within one month from the date of issue of the allotment letter. For General category, 15% of the cost is payable, while for reserved category allottees 20% of the cost is to be deposited within this period. The remaining 75% of the cost can be financed through State Bank of India (SBI) as per the scheme’s tie-up.

The balance amount is repayable in eight half-yearly instalments at the prevailing SBI MCLR plus 1% interest rate, as mentioned in the brochure. In case the allottee fails to deposit instalments by the due date, penal interest at MCLR+1%+2% (i.e., additional 2% over the normal rate) becomes payable on the delayed amount. If dues remain unpaid for three months from the due date without prior information to GDA, the authority reserves the right to cancel the allotment.

Additional charges and corner plot loading

The brochure clearly states that the basic prices shown do not include freehold charges, stamp duty, registration charges or GST. A freehold charge of 12% of the plot cost is payable separately to convert the leasehold land into freehold, in addition to applicable GST.

Extra charges are also applicable for better-located plots:

• 5% additional cost for corner plots.
• 5% additional cost for plots facing park (park-facing).
• 5% additional cost for plots abutting 18-metre or bigger roads.

Where a plot enjoys all three advantages (corner, park-facing and wide road), the total extra loading is 12% over the normal cost as per the brochure

In cases where the plot price exceeds ₹50 lakh, TDS at 1% is applicable under income-tax provisions, and this amount is to be deposited to the PAN of GDA (PAN: AAALG0072C) before execution of the sale deed. The TDS certificate must be furnished to GDA prior to registry.

Application form and declaration

The scheme brochure annexes a detailed application form specifying: applicant and co-applicant details, category (General/SC/ST/OBC/Other), marital status, residential address, and bank account particulars (including IFSC and branch) for refund or processing. Applicants are also required to give a declaration that they have read and understood all terms and conditions of the scheme, that information furnished is correct, and that GDA may cancel the registration/allotment if any information is found false or incomplete.

The brochure further clarifies that if a plot is not ultimately allotted to the applicant, the registration amount will be refunded to the bank account mentioned in the application form, through the banking system.

Practical considerations for buyers and investors

From a legal and investment perspective, Madhuban Bapudham Plot Scheme 2026 offers a structured opportunity to acquire residential plots in a planned GDA township, with clear documentation and predictable payment schedules. As an applicant, you should carefully assess affordability, including registration amount, subsequent instalments, freehold charges, GST and incidental costs such as stamp duty and TDS.

Potential buyers should also evaluate the location of the chosen category (A–H), the premium loading for corner/park-facing/main road plots, and long-term appreciation prospects in the Madhuban Bapudham area, which has been developing as a residential corridor of Ghaziabad. Before applying, one should ensure strict compliance with eligibility clauses to avoid future disputes or cancellation of allotment.

This scheme can be attractive for salaried individuals, professionals and small investors who wish to acquire freehold plots in a regulated and legally documented manner, backed by a government authority rather than private colonisers. With bank finance available for 75% of the cost through SBI, the scheme allows staggered payments, but applicants must be disciplined about instalment timelines and aware of penalty and cancellation provisions.
