Maharashtra's Redevelopment Rules Require 51 Physical Votes, Causing Challenges for Mumbai Societies
Mumbai housing societies face challenges in redevelopment voting due to Maharashtra's new government resolution requiring at least 51 members' physical presence and a 51-vote majority to select a developer. While online attendance is allowed for some members, the physical presence mandate complicates meetings, especially for societies with absentee owners. Current guidelines lack provisions for situations where no developer secures the required majority, prompting consumer groups to propose multi-stage voting amendments to resolve deadlocks.
