Maharashtra Updates Housing Society Redevelopment Rules to Enhance Transparency
The Maharashtra government has introduced new rules barring managing committee members, office-bearers, and their relatives from acting as developers in housing society redevelopment projects to prevent conflicts of interest. The revised guidelines require a two-thirds quorum and majority approval for redevelopment decisions, allowing virtual participation for certain members. Experts advise societies to ensure transparency and carefully draft Power of Attorney agreements with developers to protect member interests during redevelopment.
