1. Municipal Water charges
Where there are diffrent sizes of flats in a co-operative society (CHS) can the CHS charge to a larger flat, more than the standard charges of Rs.160/- per flat (irrespective of size of flats), charged by the municipality? If a CHS charges more than Rs.160 (per a larger flat), will it not tantamount to profiteering from members?
2.Certain common areas, services, facilities and amenities are not listed in CHS bye laws. Eg. bore well, sewage treatment, diesel generator, gym/club house etc. According to spirit of law,cost of running and operating these common failities etc are "service charges" to be equally shared by all members irrespective of size of flats. Can a Managing Committee take law in its own hands and design a method of charging based on size/are of flats?
3. By law, is Nomination mandatory or discretionery? Can non-submission of this Form be a valid reason to deny a member his Share Certificate?
