Are society maintenance charges same irrespective of size of flat?
02-Nov-2023 (In Property Law)
Hello, My religion is Hindu. I have bought 1 BHK apartment in Pune which has around 2BHK and 1 BHK flats. While giving possession, builder took 35 K as maintenance for 1 bhk and 55 K as maintenance for 2 BHK. Later society is handover from builder to society committee members. Now, they have asked to pay 3 k as monthly maintenance charges, irrespective of 1 BHK or 2 BHK. Is it as per rule/law that maintenance charges should be same for 1 bhk and 2 bhk? or maintenance charges for 1 bhk should be less than that of 2 bhk? because builder also had collected lesser amount as maintenance charges for 1 bhk than 2 bhk.
Hello Dear Client, as per your query i can only suggest you according by laws only all the maintenance charges will be taken. whether it is 3000/- or more then 3000/-. so tell to your secretary and all the society concern person about this BY-LAWS.

As per the adopted model bylaws, maintenance fees are divided by a number of flats. We intend to change this to per sq ft because it is very burdensome to pay for a 1BHK with 350 sq ft carpet (Rs 12000/p/m GST) or compared to a 2BHK with 740 sq ft carpet (Rs 14000/p/m plus GST) and comparing to s 3BHKs -1300sqft (Rs 18000/
