I have problems with our co-operative housing Society. The Society was registered in 1920 as plot owners society and has not adopted the model bylaws and so the membership is restricted to Gujarati Hindy vegetarians. All the plots have been sold and buildings constructed by members and thus purpose for which the society was registered was completed by the year 1940. Since around 1980, the society is collecting funds as TDR premium, registration fee for sub-lease agreements, transfer fees in excess of permitted ceiling etc. not permitted by the bylaws and CHS Act. The society is violating many of the provisions of amended CHS Act. The auditor appointed since 2013 is not on the panel of approved by the registrar. I have brought this to the attention of the Registrar and also lodged complaint of professional misconduct against him before the Institute of CA's. There were also many irregularities in the conduct of the election to the Committee.The society has recently terminated my membership without following the procedure laid down in the Act.
