Situations may arise where the base FAR for Non-built-up-area as prescribed in these byelaws will be higher than the base FAR for Developed Areas. In such cases, the Differential FAR Benefit Charge shall be due, but it shall be calculated using the formula of purchasable FAR, irrespective of whether the area falls in a layout developed/approved by the Authority or not.
For plots located outside the layout approved/developed by the Authority, where the increase in Base FAR is only due to re-designation of the development area as unbuilt area, no DFBC will be payable.”
