Since you are a Joint Member of the Society, you have a right to ask question. If the society is refusing to accept letter send it by RPAD. Every society has to allot parking as per the provisions of Bye-laws of the society.
Can any CHS have right to force the member for donation, i.e. Soc. Birth-day or god puja.
Vijay Gaikwad., Ghansoli,

We assume that you are referring the term “donations” for welfare or festival charges etc. This cannot be made compulsory even by the AGM of the society. Welfare or festival activities are voluntary and the expenses thereon have to be met from the contribution collected only from the interested members for that purpose & not from other society funds or collections.
Our society is undergoing major repairs and would like to use sinking fund? Can the special general body authorise the managing committee for the same or is the registrar's permission required? Our society has been classified as 'B' by the statuary auditor. Please let us know and oblige. Regards.

The procedure for withdrawal of Sinking fund has to be followed as per the provision of the Bye-laws of the society, for eg. If your society have adopted the 2001 Bye-laws, the society has to approve the withdrawal of the Sinking fund for Major Repairs in the General body Meeting & have to get sanction of the same from the Registrar of Co-operative Societies.
I am the 3rd owner of a flat in a CHS. Recently a demand for insufficient stamp duty was raised against the property which has been paid. Now the flat will be registered in the 1st owners name. The 2nd owner with whom i made the deal has also not registered the flat nor have I. Is it OK that when i sell the flat, the new owner directly gets it registered in his name? The society has already issued share certificates in my name when i bought the flat. Kindly help. Thanking you in advance.

Sir, I am member of a society having my own flat. I am having outstanding society maintenance dues of about Rs.75000.00 (Principal plus interest). I have asked the society for NOC to get my name transferred to Electricity meter and Mahanagar Gas. The society is not issuing me NOC and is saying that I have to repay my outstanding amount due and thenafter only NOC will be issued... I am not in a position to pay the maintenance right now but am paying slowly slowly. Also when the society is charging interest on the pending amount, how can the society say no for NOC to get my names transferred on Gas and Light Bill. Please guide me what to do. Thanks

If the society has passed resolution in their meeting to disapprove all NOC’s to defaulters, only then the society’s stand would be considered as valid. Try requesting the society again or ask them to keep your application for consideration before the General body meeting.
