Dear Sir,
I am a resident of a society in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad-201010 and am approaching you in respect of society RWA membership charges.
The society falls under Federation of resident welfare association Ghaziabad. I bought this property in Mar 12. However, I am residing in this society since January 12 where in till 31st March, 2012.
It is on record that since Jan 2012 till date, I have never defaulted on payment of RWA charges and have paid all the maintenance and allied charge . Even now, it is paid in advance for six months
However , on occupation of property on 01 Apr 12, the RWA asked me to deposit Rs 35000/- as membership charges. Also, it is pertinent to mention that there was no mention of such charges informed to me while purchasing property and also the previous owner has confirmed on mail that no such RWA provision existed.
I have checked the GBM minutes of yesteryears and found that such charges were never proposed and approved by the GBM. I inquired with old society members if such a provision existed but no one was aware of these charges. The charges asked from me appears to be an isolated case.
Please guide if RWA membership charges as indicated above are valid by any UP Act and Society could charge this ammount without concent from all residents in GBM. Moreover society is also charging Move in / Move out charges from residents / tenants and harrasing by not giving prepaid electricity coupouns.
Please assist me weather my issue is valid or not and where could i raise this issue as Federation of RWA, Ghaziabad is already aware of this.
Thanks
