This query is : Resolved
I am a member of a cooperative housing society in Ahmedabad. The managing committee by a resolution has said that any member who carries out plaster work in his row house will have to pay extra 5000 rupees as he consumes more water.
I would like to know the following. ?...
1. Can managing committee pass and enforce such a resolution without approval from general body.
2. We are paying equal maintenance charges and water usage is not metered.
3.No explanation regarding how these charges have been calculated has been given to me
What recourse do I have?

If it is not an approved agenda of the AGM, ask the society to issue a notice to this effect and give a reply seeking the details, however, since this is a local issue and you are going to reside there for ever, look for an amicable solution and cordial living with the neighbors.
