What happens if I am late paying for Dholera land?

Q: What happens if I am late paying for Dholera land?

There is a formal late window and it costs 12 per cent a year. The Land Management Committee, which is the DICDL body that decides allotments, may let a buyer pay between day 91 and day 150 with interest at that rate, and only where the buyer has a valid reason for the delay. The word in the clause is may, so this is a discretion the committee exercises and not a right you can claim.

If a payment is late

This page tells you what the allotment policy does when a buyer misses one of the payment dates for Dholera land. It matters because there is a written extension window rather than an immediate cancellation, and it carries a stated rate of interest.

In plain words

There is a formal late window and it costs 12 per cent a year. The Land Management Committee, which is the DICDL body that decides allotments, may let a buyer pay between day 91 and day 150 with interest at that rate, and only where the buyer has a valid reason for the delay. The word in the clause is may, so this is a discretion the committee exercises and not a right you can claim.

Why the 2019 amendment is worth knowing about

The rate in force is 12 per cent. Older copies of the policy circulating online show 15 per cent, because that was the figure before Amendment 01 of 2019 replaced it with effect from 16 February 2019. If you are reading a version that says 15, you are reading a superseded document.

This register records the amended figure and names the amendment that made it, which is the only way to tell the two apart without holding both documents.

The window sits after the second stage, not after the first

Day 91 is the day after the 30 per cent instalment falls due. So the late window is written around the middle payment rather than the first one. The payment schedule sets out all three dates.

The clause does not say what happens on day 151. It says nothing about that at all, which is a gap in the document rather than a permission. This register will not fill it by guessing.

Interest here is not the same thing as a penalty

Two other charges in the same policy look similar and are not. Interest at 12 per cent is charged on money that is late. The construction and occupancy penalties are charged per month on the allotment price when a building is late, which is a different trigger and a different base. They are set out on the construction delay page and the occupancy delay page.

The clause, word for word

LMC may allow allottee/bidder to pay between 91 - 150 days, along with interest rate @ 12% per annum, if the allottee/bidder has valid reason for delay
