Noida Property: Can Authority Hike Lease Payments Post-Allotment? Know Your Rights!

• Most Noida and Greater Noida properties are leasehold, typically granted for 90 or 99 years.
• If a One-Time Lease Rent (OTLR) was paid and the lease deed doesn't mention future increases, authorities cannot unilaterally impose new charges.
• Courts and the Transfer of Property Act support buyers, stating new financial terms cannot be added without a provision in the lease deed.
• Buyers must carefully read allotment letters and lease deeds for clauses on lease rent increases or new charges.
• Consumers have the right to approach court if authorities demand money without a legal basis.

Why It Matters: Buyers have rights against arbitrary lease payment hikes if not specified in the original deed.
