I didnot get, when you have given the shop on rent, how can there be non-occupancy of the shop.
Or maybe I am missing something.

Shoneeji,
When a Original Member Occupy shop/ Flat for his own use, it is considered Occupied.
When he rent it out, or give it on LL Basis etc, {Other than his Blood Relatives] It is considered Non Occupied, and used for profit generation.
Society render all services to Licencee, tenant and hence charge NON OCCUPANCY CHARGES:
it is called NOC Chg , lakhs such cases in Mumbai Thane Belt. All investor give their Flat/ Shop to others on rent.
I hope it is clear.
Now coming to Salman's Point
the society is NOT right to charge the above non occupancy charges beyond 10% of service charge Except municipal tax:
BUT SOCIETY CHARGES HIGHER AMOUNT ILLEGALLY, AS TENANTS AGR NOT REGISTERED, NO POLICE CLEARANCE, NO MC NOC, AND IF DONE, It will cost over 10 times NOC Charged, with delay, money, time, So They go for this Quick easy procedure, mutually beneficial to all.
Go strict, and you will be in more trouble. So Rs. 600/- per year is cheaper than Regn of Rs. 6000/-
I hope I explained in detail all legal & illegal aspects of NOC.
