Dear Sir

I am a member of a housing society in Pune having a complex of 1BHK, 2BHK & 3BHK flats. I would like to get your opinion on the division of maintenance charges under various heads proposed by the Managing Committee for the upcoming AGM. In our opinion, MC is trying to put all expenses under the head of "Service Charges" so that all charges are equally divided among 1BHK/2BHK/3 BHK owners as all members of MC are from 2 BHK & 3 BHK. Moreover 1 BHK owners are less in numbers, so they can't vote out resolution proposed by MC.

1. Construction cost is purposely kept low (1100/- per Sq. ft) to reduce SF & RMF of 2/3 BHK owners as it is proportional to flat size.
2. Equal flat area is used for the same type of flat even though flat size varies among the same type.
3. Running cost (Chemicals etc) of WTP/STP & RO plants which produces fresh water from raw water.
4. "Pest control/ duct cleaning of building etc.
5. Water tank cleaning & sludge disposal
6. Gym Equipment Servicing charges
7. Swimming Pool Cleaning Material
8. Electricity Charges & Diesel for running WTP, STP & RO plant.
9. Generator & Transformer Servicing Charges
10. Water Tanker Charges
11. Fire Equipment Servicing and Certification
12. LPG Bank and Pipeline Service Charges
14. AMC of Lifts

Kindly give your opinion.
