Maharashtra Housing Societies Submit Over 5,000 Suggestions on Draft Bylaws
The Maharashtra government received over 5,000 suggestions on its draft bylaws for more than 117,000 housing societies, focusing on parking, electric vehicle (EV) charging, maintenance fees, and managing committee powers. While the draft assigns financial responsibility for EV charging equipment installed by members to those members, many suggestions call for societies to provide and maintain common charging stations. The draft also proposes equal maintenance charges for common services, which smaller flat owners have contested, favoring area-based fees instead.
