Prestige Golden Grove maintenance charges work out to ₹5 per sq. ft. per month for the first 24 months based on the current advance CAM structure. Buyers pay ₹120 per sq. ft. upfront
as Advance Common Area Maintenance for 24 months, which equals ₹5 per sq. ft. per month. A separate sinking fund of ₹50 per sq. ft. is also listed in the current project cost sheet. GST on advance CAM is charged separately at the applicable rate.
For a 1,169 sq. ft. 2 BHK, the monthly maintenance equivalent is ₹5,845 and the 24-month
advance CAM is ₹1,40,280. For a 2,462 sq. ft. 3 BHK, the monthly equivalent is ₹12,310 and
advance CAM is ₹2,95,440. A 3,013 sq. ft. 4 BHK works out to ₹15,065 per month, with
₹3,61,560 collected as advance CAM for 24 months. This makes the maintenance amount
directly dependent on the selected apartment size. Current Golden Grove home sizes range
from 1,169–1,281 sq. ft. for 2 BHK, 1,516–2,462 sq. ft. for 3 BHK and 2,723–3,013 sq. ft. for
4 BHK homes.
Prestige Golden Grove is located in Velimela near Kollur and Tellapur, Hyderabad. It spans
28.7 acres and has 10 high-rise towers comprising around 5,120 apartments in 2, 3 and 4
BHK options.
The ₹120 per sq. ft. advance CAM covers the initial 24-month maintenance period. Buyers
should therefore not add another ₹5 per sq. ft. monthly charge for those same 24 months.
After the advance period ends, the regular monthly CAM can be reviewed based on the
actual operating cost of the occupied township and the maintenance budget then in force.

The important difference is that ₹120 per sq. ft. is not a monthly charge. It represents 24
months of CAM collected in advance. Dividing ₹120 by 24 gives the current maintenance
equivalent of ₹5 per sq. ft. per month.

Advance CAM for 24 Months |
| 2 BHK |
1,169–1,281 sq. ft. |
₹5,845–₹6,405 |
₹1,40,280–₹1,53,720 |

₹13,615–₹15,065 |
₹3,26,760–₹3,61,560 |
This apartment-wise calculation is useful because Golden Grove does not have one fixed
maintenance bill for every owner. A larger apartment pays more because CAM is calculated
on the apartment area.
Prestige Golden Grove 2 BHK Maintenance Charges
Prestige Golden Grove 2 BHK maintenance is approximately ₹5,845 to ₹6,405 per month at
the ₹5 per sq. ft. equivalent rate. For the 1,169–1,281 sq. ft. 2 BHK range, buyers pay
₹1,40,280 to ₹1,53,720 as 24-month advance CAM.
The separate ₹50 per sq. ft. sinking fund works out to about ₹58,450 to ₹64,050 for these 2
BHK homes.
Prestige Golden Grove 3 BHK Maintenance Charges
Prestige Golden Grove 3 BHK maintenance ranges from about ₹7,580 to ₹12,310 per month
because the project has several 3 BHK formats between 1,516 and 2,462 sq. ft. The
corresponding 24-month advance CAM is approximately ₹1,81,920 to ₹2,95,440.
The sinking fund for these homes ranges from ₹75,800 to ₹1,23,100 at ₹50 per sq. ft.
Prestige Golden Grove 4 BHK Maintenance Charges
Prestige Golden Grove 4 BHK maintenance is approximately ₹13,615 to ₹15,065 per month
for apartments sized from 2,723 to 3,013 sq. ft. The 24-month advance CAM ranges from
₹3,26,760 to ₹3,61,560.
The separate sinking fund ranges from approximately ₹1,36,150 to ₹1,50,650.
Advance CAM and Sinking Fund Are Different Charges
Advance CAM pays for routine community operations during the first 24 months. The sinking
fund is a long-term reserve intended for major future repairs and replacement of common
infrastructure. They should not be shown as the same charge.
For example, a 1,700 sq. ft. apartment would have:
- Monthly CAM equivalent: ₹8,500
- 24-month advance CAM: ₹2,04,000
- Sinking fund: ₹85,000
- GST on the ₹2,04,000 advance CAM at 18%: ₹36,720
The CAM and sinking fund together therefore create a meaningful possession-stage
expense that should be included while calculating the total apartment budget.
What CAM Covers
Prestige Golden Grove CAM charges cover:
- Lift maintenance & AMC
- Security staffing & CCTV
- Common-area housekeeping
- Garden & landscape maintenance
- Clubhouse operations
- Power backup maintenance
- Garbage management
- Common-area electricity
The maintenance budget can also support common fire-safety systems, podium and
parking-area upkeep, swimming-pool maintenance, water and sewage-treatment systems,
common equipment servicing and facility-management staff.
These services ensure smooth daily operations within the township.
What Is Not Included in Prestige Golden Grove CAM?
Monthly maintenance should not be confused with every additional charge in the Golden
Grove cost sheet. The following items are separate from regular CAM:
- Sinking fund – ₹50 per sq. ft.
- HMWSSB and TRANSCO infrastructure charges
- Generator provision charges
- AC piping facilitation charges
- Piped-gas facilitation
- Documentation charges
- Stamp duty and registration
- Electricity consumed inside the apartment
- Personal interiors and apartment repairs
The current Golden Grove cost information lists HMWSSB and TRANSCO charges at ₹150
per sq. ft., generator provision between ₹70,000 and ₹2 lakh depending on unit type, piped-
gas facilitation at ₹50,000 and AC-piping facilitation from ₹50,000 to ₹1.50 lakh. These are
possession or project-cost items, not monthly maintenance.
Generator Charges Are Not ₹70 per sq. ft.
Generator provision is currently shown as a fixed amount based on apartment configuration
rather than ₹70 per sq. ft.:
| Unit Type |
Generator Charge |
| 2 Bed Classic |
₹70,000 |
| 3 Bed Aspire |
₹1,40,000 |
| 3 Bed Premia / Ultima |
₹1,65,000 |
| 4 Bed Supreme / Ultima |
₹2,00,000 |
GST on Prestige Golden Grove Maintenance Charges
The current project cost sheet lists GST on advance CAM at 18%. This means buyers
should calculate GST in addition to the ₹120 per sq. ft. advance CAM amount rather than
assuming ₹120 is the final CAM outflow.
For example, a 1,169 sq. ft. 2 BHK has advance CAM of ₹1,40,280. At 18%, the GST on this
CAM is about ₹25,250. A buyer should therefore check the latest cost sheet for the final tax
amount before making the possession-stage payment.
Factors to Consider to Understand Property Maintenance Charges
Maintaining Shared Areas
Maintenance fees are used to take care of common spaces and shared facilities. This
includes corridors, lifts, entrances, parking areas, swimming pools, gyms, and security
services.
How Prestige Golden Grove CAM Is Calculated
The current Golden Grove maintenance structure uses the apartment area. The calculation
is simple:
- Monthly CAM equivalent = Apartment area × ₹5
- 24-month advance CAM = Apartment area × ₹120
- Sinking fund = Apartment area × ₹50
This means a larger 3 or 4 BHK pays a higher absolute maintenance amount than a smaller 2 BHK.
Homeowners Association's Role
The HOA or the apartment association collects maintenance charges. They then set a yearly expense plan to handle all the maintenance charges. These include the maintenance work and ensuring all shared spaces are well-maintained.
During the initial maintenance period, the developer or appointed facility-management team can manage common services using the advance CAM. After the association takes over, future monthly CAM can be reviewed based on actual expenses such as manpower, electricity, repairs, landscaping, lifts and amenities.
Spending Plan
The HOA prepares an annual budget that shows how the maintenance fees will be used. It
covers repairs, gardening, insurance, utilities, and other essential services. Owners also
receive a clear breakdown of these costs.
Why Prestige Golden Grove Maintenance Cost Matters
Prestige Golden Grove has around 5,120 apartments spread across 10 high-rise towers on 28.7 acres. A township of this scale requires continuous spending on high-speed lifts, security, common lighting, gardens, clubhouse facilities, parking areas, housekeeping, waste systems and technical equipment.
For buyers, maintenance should therefore be checked along with the basic apartment price. A lower purchase price does not automatically mean a lower ownership cost if the selected home is larger or carries higher long-term common-area expenses.
