I have exchanged the flat with other owner in the same building/society. Can the society members ask me for any exchange fees or charges. For eg. As there is entrance fee who purchase a flat in the building and seller also pays fees to the while leaving the building (which the maximum amount is 25000). I'm already a member of that building neither entering for the 1st time nor leaving that building. So, can society ask me to pay for any charges/fees legally which is prescribed in the cooperative society act?
If you've exchanged flats with another owner in the same building, you might be wondering if your housing society can charge you fees. Generally, if you're already a member and not entering or leaving the building permanently, you shouldn't have to pay entry or exchange fees. The legality of such charges often depends on your state's cooperative societies act and whether they've been approved by the society's general body.

Where is the property (flat) / Society located as CHS is a State subject ? Is entry fee / any other charges approved by the General Body of the Society and such resolution is valid in your State ?
Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, 2003 has barred the management to charge any such amount in the name of entry fees/ equalization amount etc.
