Apartment owners association - addition of new owner

Ambika (Querist) 27 September 2016 This query is : Resolved
I have recently purchased a flat out of 8 flats and the apartment association has formed before my flat registration process. As per the regtd association bye law on payment of membership deposit a new owner can become member. But even after collecting the membership deposit amount the managing committee is not updating my addition of my name as member.

Could you please suggest me the formalities to be followed by an association to add a new owner as a member. Is it to be discussed in AGM?

Serve a legal notice to the management and even if it do not fetch results, make a complaint to registrar.

Sir,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Also please inform the Association procedure for addition of new members to the Flat Owners welfare Association in Bangalore.

You are always welcome. The procedure remains mentioned in the bye-laws of the association so better to study that document.

Sir,

Should the members list be registered with Sub registrar on addition of members.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 28 September 2016
yes. There is a procedure to do so.

Ok. Sir then
1. Should I wait, to enjoy the membership rights in my apartment, till the association registers updated list with Registrar.
2. Is there any time limit on the Association part to get it register.
3. Does the association accept me as a member and allow me to enjoy the membership rights in the said apartment immediately after collecting the deposit amount mentioned in Bye law.
4. If so what records should the association maintain.

All answers are hidden in the bye-laws of your society/association so better go through it.

refer the bye-laws of the society. Can ask a copy from registrar office through RTI.

You can also refer to Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, 1970 which contains all provisions which associations have to follow.
