Dear Sir,
Our society has been registered 1992 under Maharashtra Co-op. Soc.Act,1960.
Recently, the Secretary of the society has increased the Maintenance Charges by 70%(Excluding Property Tax & Sinking Fund)without any discussion with the Managing Committee of the Society and without the approval of the General Body of the Society. Members of the Society has not been given any Financial Statement since 2003. Secretary has just put the Circular on the Notice Board of the Society stating the fact of such increase from 01/04/2010.
Kindly advice on the aforesaid matter and if it is illegal,what can be done further in the matter.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks.
Member of the Society.
