How Bills Are Audited: Illustrative Calculation
Run this simulation to see how your own maintenance bill will be analysed line-by-line against statutory formulas.
Under Model Bye-Law 67(a)(viii) and Bombay High Court rulings, routine common costs must be divided equally across all units, not by flat carpet area.
Maharashtra State Section 79A strictly caps Non-Occupancy Charges at 10% of routine service charges (excluding municipal taxes).
Model Bye-Law 70 requires every charge to have an itemized accounting head. Unitemized mystery additions are non-compliant.
Frequently Asked Questions on Maintenance Rules
Statutory answers based on the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960, Model Bye-Laws, and the 2026 Amendment Rules.
Under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies framework, the statutory heads of billing are closed and exhaustive (Model Bye-Law No. 67): 1. Water Charges, 2. Election Fund, 3. Sinking Fund, 4. Repairs & Maintenance Fund, 5. Property Taxes & Municipal Cesses, 6. Building Insurance Premium, 7. Parking Charges, 8. Education & Training Fund, 9. Service Charges, 10. Non-Occupancy Charges, and 11. Late Interest on Arrears. Any charge outside these 11 statutory heads falls into two categories: (1) Strictly Illegal Charges: Compulsory Festival / Cultural / Pooja Funds (barred under Model Bye-Law 145) or arbitrary Move-in / Move-out shifting fees; and (2) Unsanctioned Ghost Charges: Charges like 'Water Tax', 'Development Levy', 'Building Improvement Fund', 'Asset Replacement Surcharge', or generic 'Miscellaneous Charges'. Under MCS Act Section 72 and Bye-Law 142, Managing Committees have no authority to invent new charge heads or levy arbitrary amounts on their own. Any such charge is statutorily invalid unless backed by an explicit General Body (AGM/SGM) resolution date and formula.
