Dear sir, what is the correct method to calculate the society maintaince charges as per bye laws..Some societies adopt per sq ft or per flat or hybrid. If you wish i will provide data for my society..Please help
Please refer to Bye-law No. 67(a)(i) to (xvi) in the Society's Bye-law Book (2014 edition). This bye-law clearly outlines which charges are to be collected equally from all members (irrespective of flat size) and which are to be calculated based on the area of the flat. There is no provision for a hybrid method of calculating society maintenance charges.
