Housing Society Rules: Who actually has the final say in a cooperative housing society—the chairman, the secretary, the managing committee or the members? This is a question that often comes up when disputes arise over maintenance, repairs, expenses, redevelopment, meetings or other society decisions. In many housing societies, members believe that once a managing committee is elected, it gets complete control over the society. This can sometimes lead to a situation where members hesitate to question decisions taken by office-bearers. However, a cooperative housing society does not work like a private company where one person can simply exercise unlimited authority. Its functioning is governed by the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, applicable rules and the society's registered bye-laws . The law creates different responsibilities for the general body, managing committee and office-bearers. Understanding this difference can help members know when a committee can take ...

कोऑपरेटिव हाउसिंग सोसायटी में मेंटेनेंस और मरम्मत के खर्च को लेकर सदस्यों के बीच विवाद होना आम बात है। ऐसा ही एक सवाल तब सामने आता है, जब ग्राउंड फ्लोर या पहली मंजिल पर रहने वाले सदस्य लिफ्ट की मरम्मत का खर्च देने से इनकार करते हैं। उनका तर्क होता है कि वे लिफ्ट का इस्तेमाल नहीं करते, इसलिए लिफ्ट की मरम्मत का पैसा भी उन्हें नहीं देना चाहिए। लेकिन क्या कोई सदस्य केवल इस आधार पर किसी कॉमन सुविधा के खर्च से खुद को अलग कर सकता है कि वह उस सुविधा का इस्तेमाल नहीं करता? आम तौर पर सिर्फ किसी कॉमन सुविधा का इस्तेमाल न करने से उस सुविधा से जुड़े लागू सोसायटी खर्च से सदस्य को छूट नहीं मिलती। लिफ्ट भी बिल्डिंग की साझा सुविधाओं और इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर का हिस्सा होती है। वह सवाल जो कई सोसायटी सदस्यों के मन में होता है मान लीजिए किसी बिल्डिंग की लिफ्ट में बड़ी खराबी आ गई है और उसकी मरम्मत पर काफी खर्च आने वाला है। ग्राउंड फ्लोर और पहली मंजिल के कुछ सदस्य कहते हैं: “हम लिफ्ट का इस्तेमाल नहीं करते, इसलिए हम लिफ्ट की मरम्मत का पैसा नहीं देंगे। जो लोग लिफ्ट इस्तेमाल करते हैं, वही इसका खर्च उठाएं।” ऐसी स्थित...

Gold buyers have received an important update ahead of the upcoming festive and wedding season. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has increased the hallmarking fee for gold jewellery by 67% . Under the revised charges, jewellers will now have to pay a higher fee for hallmarking each gold jewellery article. However, the increase does not necessarily mean that customers will have to pay an additional ₹30 directly for every piece of jewellery they purchase. The hallmarking fee is paid by jewellers. At the same time, the higher cost could increase the overall operating expenses of jewellery businesses, and jewellers may decide how to absorb or adjust this additional expense. Let's understand what has changed, how much the fee has increased, and what it could mean for jewellers and customers. BIS Changes Gold Hallmarking Fees Hallmarking plays an important role in identifying the purity of gold and silver jewellery. The Bureau of Indian Standards, or BIS, sets standards under which h...

Property Rules: Not getting your security deposit back after leaving a paying guest (PG) accommodation or rented room can become a major dispute between tenants and landlords. Many tenants are unsure about when a landlord can deduct money from the deposit, how much can be deducted, and what steps they can take if the remaining amount is not returned. If you live in a PG or rented accommodation, or have recently moved out, it is important to understand your basic rights and keep proper records of your payments and agreement. What Happens to the Security Deposit When You Leave a PG? Simply leaving a PG does not automatically give the landlord the right to keep your entire security deposit. Depending on the terms of the agreement and applicable laws, a landlord may be able to deduct legitimate outstanding amounts, such as unpaid rent, electricity or water bills, or reasonable costs for damage caused by the tenant. However, there is an important difference between actual damage and normal...
