I am a member of a Co-operative Housing Society in Wakad, Pune (under PCMC). Management Committee of my society spends a few thousand rupees every year in the name of regular maintenance and repair of the Transformers. On such an expenditure of Rs. 5 Lacs in the name of "Transformer regular maintenance and coil repair", I raised a query to MC, asking why this work was not undertaken by MSEB, as the transformer is owned and managed by MSEB. Their response was, "All the transformers given by the builder had been maintained by the builder before handing over the society and the transformers (in 2012), after handing over the society, is in the custody of society and same is maintained by society. Hence society has undertaken the maintenance and not MSEB".
Can anyone please provide some guidance on if a transformer can be privately managed/maintained by a Co-operative housing society? Any reference to document evidence (Byelaws/Act) will be highly appreciated.
