We Run Societies

respected sir,

our row house society is still not register .before 2 yr. ago because of some pending society work I was stop my maintance and comited that when u complited this work I will pay amount. i m not still stey threr because the society is newly so we r not meet again.but then after some time secretory told me about maintance n comitte me that he will complited that pending work on his comitment I was goes for pay maintance but remind one again for same work . at that time that person was shouted with angry and told me that not requeir your maintance. and not recive maintance amount.

But before some days he told me about paying maintance when I go for payment at his home .he demand me penalty of two years of monthly 250/- per month. I m agree for pay maintance amount but not for penalty because there is not my fault because at that time I was readdy for pay maintance but he was not receiveing.

Dear Kartik,

If society is not registered then no one can be charged penalty. Just pay your contribution.

Dear Sir,

We Members/Flat owner fail to pay monthly maintenance for more 6 months.

What action can be taken on defaulters to clear there dues and what will be the penalty levied on them.

Dear Abhishek,

Send 3 notices as per cooperative act. Then legal notice and then case under section 101 of cooperative act. You will need a lawyer for the legal case.

our society collects the advance maintenance for 3 months for e.g. April to Jun is to be paid by April 20 else you would incur penalty , which would be 2 % of total advance due from April to Jun

my questions are
1. can you take advance maintenance
2. if you can then can you charge penalty on advance maintenance of total months instead of only monthly due
3. if one were to take penalty then should it not be prorated of the dues and the delay or at least of the monthly maintenance due i.e. if you were to pay by end of April then 2% of Aprils quota of maintenance which would be = 2% of X/3 AND NOT 2 % OF X which is maintenance from April to Jun

are they allowed to collect the advance

forgot to add that 2% is collected every month of entire outstanding

ie you would end up paying 2% every month of X as instead of 2% of X/3 for that month or optionally 2 % of earlier months NOT paid computed in a compound OR simple interest manner

Dear Mahesh,

Collection of dues from members is as per general body resolution.
In case you wish to pay monthly, make an application for the same to society citing inability to pay in advance.

It is permitted that in case a member is not in a position to pay up front in advance he can be allowed to pay monthly as long as it is paid on time

One of my friend from other society uses a software called Society MAXX to do their accounting. The software has four billing interest calculation options as below.

For Delayed Payment or Unpaid Amt, Charge Interest from Due Date
For Delayed Payment Charge Interest from Due Date & Unpaid Amt from Bill Date
For Delayed Payment or Unpaid Amt, Charge Interest from Bill Date
For Delayed Payment or Unpaid Amt, Charge Interest for Whole Month

Even my friend does not understand what is Delayed Payment and Unpaid amount. What is the difference?

Which is the best option to choose?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I purchased 3 flats out of which two are registered and the 3rd one is still pending registration. Few flats in the building are still remaining to be sold by the owner/builder. Cooperative Housing society is still not formed and the owner says it can't be done unless all flats are sold....Secondly, the owner insists to pay maintenance charges monthly at the rate of 1 re-/ per square feet which comes to 2300 rupees for all flats....My extended family (brother's family) were living there however last month they shifted and paid they were paying maintenance from last one year....the flats are locked and no one residing in it now. In given circumstances my questions are....

1. How was it legible for builder/ owner to ask for maintenance though society was not registered? And they paid every month.
2. I don't want to pay any more further because firstly no one lives there anymore and secondly there is no cooperative society being formed yet.
3. What will be the consequences from builder in terms of non payment upon me ?
4. What is the maintenance charge per flat? Is it per square feet or per flat ?
5. There is no society account but all residents pay in cash and whatever records of bills he shows everyone is left to trust with no questions. What questions could we ask regarding expenses?
6. Is there any legal action upon me if I don't pay it in case of not living there?

The flats are in Bhiwandi Maharashtra.

Thanks in advance.

Can Managing Committee charge penalty for not attending special general body meeting? They have circulated a letter 7 days before the special general body meeting asking for penalty of 500 Rs for not attending the meeting.

Is this legal? The resolution to charge penalty is passed in that meeting itself.

Hi,
Our society is charging unneccesory penelties for not closing the gate. Parking outside society in front of gate . Playing in the society area. Etc. penelty is 1000 rs. Each time.
dont know what the fuck is commitee doing.
Charging penelties will definatly not solve the issue. rather memebers will face quarrlsome situation within a society.
Can we object the rules decided by commitee??
tell me plz.

Sorry I am restless . I dont know whom should I approach . I will share my incident with you hoping you can help me out some way .

My Society Committee members have charged me of 5000rs as water wastage .

-- First of all please confirm is such fine valid
--how they fine such big amount and on wht basis . (tried asking them they said 1000rs anyone can pay hence we charged 5000 )
One said to pay in installment if you are earning less .
-- they constantly charge anything

dear sir . i have failed for paying maintenance of rs 1500rs /month for last two years . so as per law how much maximum late payment charges can be charged by society . for this late payment charge
my society have made law and they are charging 20 % interest per month . so i am not able to pay and its higher site . so guide me according to housing society law how much max amount of penalty society can charge . we request you to answer for same thanking you .

I have a query on late payment charges? can a society charge late payment fees to members who have paid maintenance in the same month. However on a later date than asked. is that legally binding since the society is for the benefit of the people living in it. But these unnecessary acts are becoming a nuisance. My payment was delayed say by less than a week and the society has levied late fees for that. Should that be acceptable or do I have rights to fight such rules.

sir if the maintanance is pending from last one year the society is having authority by law that they can charge iinterest on due maintanance
