Actions on defaulters in a gated community

In a high rise gated community apartments of Hyderabad. What are the actions that the apartments society/committee can take on the defaulters i.e non payment of dues monthly maintenance and its penalties ?

I heard that they are likely to disconnect the water/gas supply or power connections or stop attending maintenance repair work in that defaulters apartment or impose heavy penalties  ?

Or can they ask the residents to vacate the premises ??

Is that true or any other action/s is followed in India in general ?

The apartment owners association cannot disconnect the basic amenities viz., water supply or gas supply or electricity supply, in fact they cannot stop the essential renovation works too which may endanger the lives of  the inhabitants of the flat.

however the association being a registered body can sue the defaulting flat owners to recover the dues by legal means, if necessary through court of law too.
