I am a resident of an apartment. At the time of registration ofour association more than 100 times the amount required forregistration was demanded in cash from every flat ownerunder the pretext that without paying bribe to the authoritiesthe registration of association shall not take place. I refused topay in cash but paid through cheque. My name was notincluded in the association list submitted to Subregistrar for thepurpose. So as per govt records Iam not a member ofassociation.Imagine Rs 1,70,000/- were collected in cash and officialcharges paid for the whole apartment complex were Rs.1000/-plus typing charge @ rs 30/- per page.( 60pages). Rest of themoney got siphoned off as bribe!!!Which is the competent authority to file my complaint?.Thanks, Deekay

If the Bye-law states that there can be a Non-Occupation-Charge ( NOC ), for a flat where Owner is not residing, thenyes, the Tenant needs to pay the additional NOC Charge.
As per Maharashtra Housing Society Law, the NOC charge is10% of the Maintenance Charge. Outside Maharashtra,Associations typically set a flat rate for NOC.

The ultimate say will lie with the Association General Body (majorityowners). Some Associations find it beneficial to have a Clinic within theBuilding, some may not. Assuming you obtain the necessary commercialclearances needed to run a clinic in a residential flat (e.g., electricity billmay be at commercial tariff, unless it is differently treated for medicalinstitutions), other possible issues such as - hours of operation, disposal ofbio-medical waste, lift usage etc. may have to be discussed with theAssociation and a consensus obtained. Typically ground floor flats areutilized for such mixed usage.

ApartmentAdda Blr · Works at ApartmentADDAUltimate remedy is legal action by the Association lawyer against theDefaulter. This assumes the fund raising is approved by GBM. Also, toavoid such ad hoc fund raising, a systematic Sinking Fund, or Corpus Fundcan be structured, which becomes part of the monthly or quarterlymaintenance bill. The monthly maintenance bill must collect towards day-to-day regular expenses (maintenance charges), mid-term expenses(Repair and Breakdown Fund), Long term expenses (Sinking Fund). Acorpus fund can be structured to be utilized for major renovations. Thismay seem tedious to perform manually. Using an automated society billingsystem like ApartmentADDA makes this easy.
