This query is : Resolved
Our flat association in Trichy has fixed Special meeting for collection of excess maintenance amt. They haven't advised in writing and instead pasted in Notice Board, informed through phone & whatsapp. They have given only one week in advance. Is it correct and legal? Kindly clarify.

In my view the course of action taken by society is not illegal. However if you feel aggrieved you can always challenge it before society joint registrar.

1. If the Association's registered "bye-laws" provides for Notice on Notice-Board or Phone or Whatsapp, THEN it is legal enough. IF not then such SGM notice & proceedings, shall be legally infructuous.
2. Typically, a Hard Copy of the Notice for SGM is to be served to all members, under their signature acknowledgment.

Ji, Yes. usually in meeting column provided for in the Byelaws, there will be a clause regarding emergency/urgent meeting and the time one week may be allowed. It is informed through Notice Board and whatsapp which is enough. Otherwise report to the Registrar of Housing Societies concerned.
