Sir for any residential building any common use of water, electricity and other factor bill distributed among equally. For your case only 4 residential flat need to take separate sub meter to avoid unnecessary payment for non use of the premises.

Dear Sir,

If you are individual flat holder, as well as there is commercial premises means your building is residential cum commercial type. According to provision of Maharashtra Electricity Act, every individual resident & commercial premises holder should have seperates electricity connection with seperates meters for purpose of personal use & common meter only use for combine electric lightning of society which is paid by contribution of maintenance amount of Society. But If you all you using common connection for both purposes so it's illegal & naturally it may create disputes regarding payment of bill.

My opinion regarding your case is every individual resident flat & commercial premises holder take seperates connection for his personal use & whichever combine connection you have bill of that should be paid by common maintainance amount.

Thanks,
