Amalgamate flats

rohit (Querist) 12 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
Am resident of a Mumbai Coop Hsg SOc registered under MCS 1960 and follow the NEW BYE LAWS.
We own two adjacent flats & would like to join them
1. Is this permissible under the BMC laws
2. Do I need managing committe permission
3. If yes, can i still maintain two seperate electric meters and therefore enjoy the lower slab charges for consumption
4. Anything i need to keep in mind

No u cant merge two adjacent flats without sanction of site plan and without prior approval of BMC so there is no provision in favour of your intention.

Dear Raj, Thank you for your almost instantaneous reply. If i do the requiste approvals will it also amount to using one electric meter instead of the existing two.

it is your sweet desire, if you want to retain one or existing both the meters. You will have to follow the rules of electricity company.
