PLC: an extra charge a builder adds for a unit with a preferred position, such as park-facing, corner, sea-facing or near the clubhouse.
How it works and what to check
PLC is usually charged per square foot on top of the base price, sometimes as a lump sum. It is negotiable, and several PLCs can stack on the same unit.
Ask for every PLC in the cost sheet, and check the feature is actually promised: a 'park-facing' flat should face a park shown in the sanctioned layout.
Common questions
Is PLC refundable if the view is blocked?
Only if the agreement says so or a regulator orders it. Check the layout and what is promised.
Is GST charged on PLC?
For an under-construction flat, PLC forms part of the price on which GST applies.
