It depends on the rules and regulations of the society. Some societies may allow tourist vehicles (commercial vehicles) parked in designated areas, while others may not.

To the Jt./Dy.Registrar of Cooperative Societies of your district.

If it is the owner's own vehicle and it is just a four wheeler and not a big tourist vehicle then the society cannot object the owner member to park his four wheeler in the parking space allotted to him.
If the society is objecting to it then the owner member can resort to legal action as per law.

Thanks Kalaiselven sir. It's 7 seater Ertiga tourist vehicle. Kindly give citation if any?

The Ertiga is a four wheeler only hence it is considered as a car for the purpose of parking it in domestic parking space of the apartment parking place, the society cannot refuse to permit you to park one car to you, if they do so then it is against the law .
There are several rules for parking in apartment complexes, but they don't specify that the parking of owner's one car in his allotted space should not eb a commercial vehicle.
Some of the rules are;
Not parking more than one car in a parking space
Not parking in front of the main gate, elevator exit area, or any other location that may hinder public access
Not blocking driveways, entrances, or exits
Using designated visitor parking spots for guests
Parking charges: The society can charge different rates for different types of vehicles.
Parking violations: The society can fine members for violating parking laws

Adv. Sudhir Kumar,
Thanks for your time and interest in helping with law.
1) It's a co-op housing society in Mumbai K East ward.
2) They have allocated one car for each flat but
total capacity is for 17 cars only against 25 flats.
3) We don't have any parking space alloted.

The parking area belongs to the society hence it can decide about the parking allotment especially when there are no sufficient parking space to accommodate the cars of all the owner members.
If you have been allotted with a parking slot, refusal to allow parking of your own commercial vehicle is against law.
You can decide legal course of action for relief.

Thanks sir clarifying situation and law. Please keep it up and don't discourage people in need of legal assistance due to rampant corruption. Indian laws are very good but in the hands of corrupts though you may not agree.
