Regarding apartment generator usage and repairs

Sir this is madhuri .we bought an apartment in guntur .maintainance they are collecting is 1500 then they told give extra 1000 from each flat owner for ACD.My question is they are asking money for generator repair which we never used ,the maintainance people never allowed us to use ,inspire they are asking us to pay for generator repair .we are in 1st floor and we got inverter facility so we don't need generator .

So is it mandatory to pay for generator repair though we don't use ,they are demanding to pay incase it's not mandate what can be done to make them not ask us for generator repair ?

If a residential society is asking for maintenance charges for a generator, but you don't need the service, you can: 1. _Check the bye-laws_: Review the society's bye-laws to see if they require residents to pay for generator maintenance, even if they don't use it. 2. _Communicate with the society_: Explain your situation to the society's management or secretary, stating that you don't require the generator service and therefore shouldn't be charged. 3. _Request exemption_: Ask if you can be exempted from paying the maintenance charges, or if there's an alternative arrangement possible. 4. _Escalate if necessary_: If the society doesn't respond or refuses, consider escalating the matter to the registrar of societies or a local consumer forum. Remember to keep records of your communication and any agreements or understandings reached.
