Authority of Unregistered Housing Society
29-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
Respected sir, I live in a colony which is maintained by Unregistered Society, whose members are selected by residents. The society collects two types of maintaince amount, One for Electricity (no house have meter, so Society collects fix charge from each house & pay this to Electricity department). 2nd charge is for Security, cleaning, maintaining the society. Sir , My house is under construction. Society is collecting same amount of maintaince for Fully completed house & under construction house. I don't agree with this so i stopped paying them maintaince. They disconnected electricity connection of my under construction house. Now what I can do against them and what they can do against me I don't pay them maintaince amount because i disagree with them. Society doesn't have it's accounts audited, collect all amount in cash (approximately 2-3 lacs per month). Please help me on this matter sir. Thank you very much.
Dear Sir,
As the society is unregistered, the same has no power to regulate the residents' fate. The said society has no power to cut your electricity connection. However, as per my understanding, you need to apply for fresh electricity connection. If you are using the common electricity, you need to pay the amount (under common law), but if your colony has a separate connection, you need to apply for your personal electricity connection.
Hope my response addresses you query. In case you require any clarifications, please feel free to revert.
Best regards,

Members of an unregistered apartment or society cannot be forced to register. Since there is usually no managing committee, members are responsible for paying for any services or fixing damage.
