This query is : Resolved
Our society consists of two 2 bhk AND 1 bhk flats and some shops . Our maintenance charges covers equal amount for the common services and Sinking fund and Repairs are charged as per the Area.
We had asked them to charge seperate for water inlets which are more than one for the larger flats, however they didn't agree.
Now while raising the maintenance they charged extra for a shop owner who is running a clinic and has taken seperate connection. while other shop owners pay short by that amount. Also the shop owners are not charged according to the commercial rates.
Can the smaller flat owners ask for restructuring of the maintenance for the extra water inlets . Is it possible , as the other part is saying, once done cannot be restructured.
Please advice.

You can raise your queries in the Annual General Body meeting of the society. If the majority people agree for it, society shall implement it.

The general body meeting by a resolution passed by majority of the members would be the proper solution to take a decision in this regard.
You can keep this as an agenda to the proposed meeting and somehow get it pushed so that the bylaws can be amended accordingly.
