(terrace we pay 50% of maintanance) apart frm maintanance and sinking fund in the building committe ask each flat member to remove 12500 extra for it.out of which they have ask us to pay more, apart frm 12500 they r asking other 50% means 6250 for terrace as we r paying 50% for d maintanance . so i need ur valuable advice is it legal? should i pay ? or should i oppose? they also said if funds will be less they will ask for more funds, our building is 20 yrs old. so kindly suggest me wht is correct.
