Dear Sir,
Firstly my Sincere thanks to Mr Mehta/Mr Sanjay for regularly helping & guiding general public with such a common forum against various rules & regulations available to safeguard interest of a Member giving peace of mind.
Sir,
I have been a member of one of the society which is formed in year 1982 wherin i had purchased flat in 2006. It has adopted Model by laws around 3 to 4 years back. However 3 year back they came out with a circular to allot parking to all the members on first-cum-first basis since parking space was limited. Please note their are approx 20 Parking in Front and 15 Parking at backyard available in the society. Since I was aware of the Fact that their are numerous issues w.r.t. parking, i immediately responded to the circular and had made Rs. 50000 Collected as Parking deposit to get Parking in the Front for Maruti 800 Similarly Rs 25000 was collected from member who had applied Parking at backyard.
Please note the below mentioned elements till date that happened to me inspite of being the member:
1) After Paying Parking Deposit, the managing committee straight away Marked Parking space and had put Flat number on the wall.
2) I had been alloted a parking space between 2 vehicles and due to inadequate space( 2 Meters X 4 meters) it was not possible to either remove or park vehicle in the alloted space highlighting this fact on allotment i did not sign the final allotment circular sent by the society and neither the allotment was through lottery/calling a meet/informing general members before alloting the same.
3) I am contineously following on this issue from last 3 years for changing or increasing the space but the same is not even considered and inspite of giving 5 to 6 written request the same is not at all considered. The same is not taken seriously in any AGM and is just pushed on one another on making personal request.
4) It was decided that flats on rent would not get the parking but unfortunately members who have 2 to 3 flats are using 1 Parking per Flat although the 2nd or 3rd flat is rented and have taken much bigger spaces & Prime Parking spots during allotment itself.
5) Currently cars have increase in the society and they keep on shifting the date for fresh allotment from 1 year to 3 years to 5 years.
6) This situation became worst when I had changed by car and bought bigger car i.e. Maruti Ertiga where the same could have been parked only when either the car in front or back can be removed. however was managing to park or remove my vehicle from last 1 year only when either vehicle in front or back is removed which recently was denied on 1 particular day and i could not remove my vehicle.
7) Secondly society is allowing a vehicle to be parked in the space which should be kept for Fire brigade as per fire rules only on personal relation with the owner of the vehicle & have not kept even a single space for visitors vehicle as no slots are available.
8) One of the available slot was recently given to another member by claiming that he
8) Currently vehicles are increase wherein other members are asking for Parking which society is denying and simply avoiding fresh allotment/lottery due to personal interest of some old member as the same would have risk of loosing the parking slot alloted to them.
9) To avoid any sort of muscle power/conflict or inconvenience i have simply parked by vehicle outside the society on the road.
Sir, I am consfused as to what should be stand and way forward in such a matter. Request your help & guidence.
