Useless query. What is your query?

Retrieving old emails from a dataone.in email address (which belongs to BSNL's legacy Broadband service in India) can be a bit tricky today because BSNL has largely phased out or migrated these services.
If BSNL is still hosting your legacy mailbox infrastructure on their backend, you might be able to log in directly through their self-care or webmail systems.
Go to the official BSNL Portal.
Try signing in using your old dataone.in email ID or your registered mobile/landline credentials associated with that old broadband account.
If you can get into your account dashboard look for a Webmail or Email tab to view your inbox.

Quick Summary

A flat owner in a Lodha complex in Thane is seeking clarification on how their newly formed Association is charging for common facilities like the clubhouse, swimming pool, and gardens. The charges are levied on a hybrid model, with some based on flat size and others on unit numbers. The owner is asking if this is a legal method for charging maintenance under the Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, 1970, as the developer did not establish a cooperative society.

Under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act,1960, a minimum of five registered societies are typically required to form an apex federation. These must be existing independent societies. To register, each participating society must pass a special resolution in its General Body Meeting, elect a Chief Promoter, and submit a joint registration proposal to the local Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies. Consult the office of the CHS for further guidance.

Presumably Lodha group did not form any cooperative society, if so, for the management of condominium (premises) the association shall be formed by members under the provisions of Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, 1970 and Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Rules, 1972
