Residents of co-operative housing societies, who normally are reluctant to take up the honorary responsibility of looking after the affairs of the society, are expected not to join managing committees.
According to the new rules, every elected member of the managing committee of a society shall execute a bond on a stamp paper, as provided under the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958, within 15 days of his assuming office. The chief executive officer/secretary of the society shall receive such bonds and keep them in the records of the society and accordingly inform the Registrar of Societies within 15 days from the formation of the committee. Further, under the rules, a provisional list of voters should be prepared by every notified society in the year in which the election of the society is due to be held. Persons who have completed a minimum two years as members from the date of their enrolment should be included in the provisional list.

FSI norm for high-rise in Andhra Pradesh
Time to upgrade home loan terms
& RTI not applicable to Co-operative Housing Societies*
Excerpts>
< Nation wide protest for not to include Co-operative Societies is gearing momentum. Where the societies are not in favour of RTI since they feel that members can have information under respective state Acts and if RTI applicable, hOnorary posts will not be occupied and there will BE severe crisis as to management of the societies.>
< "they feel..."-
> An unwarranted controveresy, a miscnceived fear -based- apprehension; albeit either option potent with far-reaching rections/lopsided views likely to surface.
>> Other recent deveopments like, -doing away with requirement of 'fidelity bonds' for office bearers (MC?), other seemingly- innocuous -but -not -so norms, newly introduced through the 97 th Amendment of the Indian Constitution could only be expcted to lead to further muddling-up the already muddled /swaeepingly messed-up scenario in the realm of management of the affairs of housing complexes (be it comprising apartments or flats).
<> Though the real but hidden tragedy, entailing over-reaching vulnerable or vital facets, are seemingly overlooked. For, the fact of life / reality, though remaining shadowed, is that the State Acts spoken of are mostly on paper, but not sincerely enforced or followed both by the government and its authorities, equally so by the supposedly vested interests, being the purchasers of apartments or flats, as the case may be..
<><> But the real tragedy / over-reaching vulnerable or vital facet, seemingly overlooked, lies in the fact that the State Acts spoken of are mostly on paper, but not sincerely implemented or enforced by the government and its empowered authorities, or not followed as expected of the supposedly vested interests, being the purchasers of apartments or flats, as the case may be. To be more exact, rather honest, the default /systemic failure is to be owned by those who have, driven by some extraneous reasons, or ulterior motive, or quiuxotic mindset of their own, volunteer to be part of the MC, without even knowing what are expected of them by the law or byelaws.

Agreements to Agree
<> Sporadic Reaction (jottings):
This instantly brings to one's mind a (contract) agreement, dubbed so but incomplete, in many respects. Such type can be said to be very commonly-come-across these days. Reference is those virtually one-sided agreements. In that, the terms and conditions, as drafted and incorporated, are heavily leaning to the side of the principal party being the, first named. For a glaring but often noted instance in real life, focus may be made to an “agreement to sell" executed by by a promoter in respect of sale of an 'apartment' (i.e. unit of a building – seen mushrooming in every place - village or town or city). No doubt, there are certain crucial clauses of stipulation e.g. known as ”‘Indemnity Clause” which are necessarily required to be included. For, without those clauses, any agreement of the referred type, even on the first blush, might have to be compulsively inferred to have been deliberately drafted , in a shamefully crafty manner, only with a view to defeating the purposes/interests of the second party. The most painfully irritating part of it all is the fact that , if and when confronted, the first named party invariably tries and seeks shelter by saying that the document has been drafted by his project consultant and /or law adviser, rolled into one,
Indisputably, no first named principal party, much less his professional law adviser, if qualified or duly equipped, can rightfully and lawfully claim, or defend self by making an averment to the effect that, any such agreement has to be considered as a ‘contract agreement’, within the framework of the law, That is, as one truly effective and purposeful, in law; More so, if due regard be had to, and is kept in full view, the governing law (INCLUDING ALL RELATED STATUTORYRULES AND REGULATIONS as are in force); such as the special enactment governing apartments, in force , in most of the states, If were to be accepted, is, for obvious reasons, bound to have the disastrous result of defeating the rights and interests vested by law in the other party ,being the second named; in the referred case, purchaser of the apartment.
