Lift & Security Charges +₹1,100 Variance
₹2,500 ₹1,400 Mandated

Tenant NOC Fee +₹1,360 Variance
₹1,500 ₹140 Mandated

Maharashtra State Section 79A strictly caps Non-Occupancy Charges at 10% of routine service charges (excluding municipal taxes).

Unitemized Lump-Sum Fee +₹200 Variance

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.

No, routine common service charges cannot be billed on a square-foot basis. Under Maharashtra Model Bye-Law No. 67(a)(viii), the 2026 MCS Amendment Rules (Rule 106C-12(2)), and the landmark Bombay High Court ruling in Mont Blanc CHS Ltd. v. State of Maharashtra, routine common service charges (security, lift maintenance, cleaners, common electricity, pump operator, manager salary) must be divided equally (1/N) among all flats regardless of size. Only capital reserve funds (Sinking and Repair funds) and property taxes are carpet-area dependent.
