This society is in Santacruz, Mumbai. We have two wings A-Wing is the sale property and B-wing is the SRA.
I belong to the A-wing and also the committee member since 2019. I have noticed that the maintenance contribution collected from A-wing is double the contribution of B-wing and nearly 90% of the amount collected from A-wing is being utilised by B-wing.
Recently in 2017 they carried out a major repair of both the wings and spent Rs. 35 lacs. They started the repairs with B-wing, did a complete breaking and plastering of the B-wing, utilised most of the amount and spent 3 months to complete the repairs.
When the workers started repairing A-wing. The society held the contractors money with a result the contractor said that they had no money to buy the material and in whatever material they had they completed the work in 1 1/2 month.
Later I got to know that there were two quotes received by the Society - One for complete plaster and another for patch plaster. We continue to have cracks on the external walls and heavy leakage during monsoons. The Chairman and Secretary belong to B-wing who are acting very nasty.
I approached the CEO at the Registrar office who suggested to bifurcate the societies. The registrar office put me on to the contractor who is charging me exorbitant fees.
I would like to know:
1. What is the procedure?
2. What would be the cost for this bifurcation?
3. What are the documents required
4. If the committee members do not allow me to take the documents from the office what is the next step?
5. How long it would take for this procedure of bifurcation?
6. Till the bifurcation happens, should we still pay our maintenance to this one society or should we open a separate account and start collecting our maintenance separately?
Please advise.
