As a resident who is paying maintenance amount you have every right to ask for accounts. Ask for accounts detail in writing.
Request them to communicate necessities in the best suited mode.
Put your requirements politely to them.
When you don't receive response, stop paying the maintenance. Let the association call you where you'll have your apprehensions cleared.

SUBJECT TO MAHARASHTRA:
1. "IF" it is Registered as a Housing Society, THEN the Mg.Committee can be disqualified for FIVE years from holding committee posts, for the offences you have described.
2. IF it is registered as an Association, THEN file grievance application before the Commissioner (registering authority) who would conduct investigation and appoint an Administrator to run the Association.
Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal
