Prestige Knowledge City Maintenance Charges

Published On: 27 October 2026

Prestige Knowledge City maintenance charges are the recurring fees that keep the community's shared services and common areas running after possession. They are billed per square foot each month, so a larger home pays more. The charge pays for security, housekeeping, the clubhouse and the upkeep of the landscaped greens across 11 acres. This page explains the components of the maintenance charge and the one-time deposits collected around handover, for the Madhapur project.

What Maintenance Charges Cover

The monthly charge funds everything outside your front door. For a gated community of 1,100 homes across three G+26 towers, that is a wide list.

Security. Round-the-clock guarding, gate control and surveillance across the gated site.
Housekeeping. Cleaning of lobbies, corridors, lifts, basements and the common areas.
Common-area power and water. Lighting, pumps, lifts and water supply in shared spaces.
Landscaping. Upkeep of the central gardens, greens and open spaces between the towers.
Clubhouse and amenities. Running the clubhouse and the shared leisure and sports facilities.
Equipment upkeep. Servicing of lifts, generators, fire systems, the STP and pumps.

So the charge is what keeps the shared parts of the community clean, safe and working.

How the Charge Is Calculated

Maintenance for Prestige apartments is typically set as a rate per square foot of saleable area, billed each month. A 1,400 sq. ft. 2 BHK therefore pays less than a 3,200 sq. ft. 4 BHK at the same rate. The rate reflects the scale of the shared facilities, including the clubhouse and the landscaped grounds.

The exact per-square-foot rate for Prestige Knowledge City is not yet published. The project is at the pre-launch stage, and maintenance rates are usually confirmed closer to possession and set out in the cost sheet. Buyers should ask for the current figure before signing, rather than rely on an estimate.

One-Time Deposits at Handover

Alongside the monthly charge, a buyer usually pays two one-time amounts around possession. These are separate from the apartment price.

Charge	What it is	When it is paid
Advance maintenance	Maintenance paid up front, often for 12 to 24 months	At possession
Corpus or sinking fund	A one-time reserve for major future repairs	At possession

The advance maintenance covers the first stretch after handover, before billing settles into a monthly cycle. The corpus fund is a reserve the association holds for large works later, such as major equipment replacement. Both amounts are confirmed on the cost sheet.

GST and Other Points

GST applies to maintenance where the monthly charge per home crosses the limit set under the rules. At handover the builder or a facility management agency runs the services. Over time, an owners' association usually takes over, and it can revise the rate as costs change. The charge is reviewed against the actual cost of running the community, so it can move year to year.
