You verify the terms and conditions of your society's bylaws. The structural audit expenses shall be borne by the society. for other issues, the society's bylaws need to be verified.

In a Maharashtra cooperative housing society, the society itself is generally responsible for bearing the costs of structural audits and repairs, and these are usually funded through the society's repair fund or by levying additional charges on members. However, the specific cost allocation and procedures can vary.
The society typically collects monthly maintenance charges, which include a contribution to a repair fund.
The society's bye-laws (rules and regulations) outline the process for conducting repairs, allocating costs, and resolving disputes.
A formal process, including a general body meeting, should be followed when deciding on major repairs and levying additional charges.
Members should be informed about the need for repairs, the quotes obtained, and the cost implications.
Structural audits should be conducted by qualified and licensed structural engineers, and repairs should be carried out by qualified contractors.
