Maharashtra coop housing society - dues recovery

Jack (Querist) 01 September 2016 This query is : Resolved
Society wants to claim maintenance dues before its formation date. Chairman and secretary have claimed that certain amount was owed to builder and since society has been formed, this amount is now owed to them. They have been showing it as "maintenance not paid" though monthly maintenance is being paid without fail ever since society was formed.

Can they claim it? What action can be taken against them?

Dear Client,

If you feel that you are being collected excess dues by the society prior to its formation agitate for your rights in cooperative court by filing a complaint.

1. The Society is a "nobody" AND without any legal jurisdiction to claim ANY amount prior to its date of registration.

2. ANY due prior to Society's registration date, is as good as flushed down the sewage drain, since the old dues are non-recoverable under the proceedings u/s 101 of the MCS Act.

Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal
