Maintenance charges are levied from individual apparent owners for rendering essentially common utility services to the appartment owners.Such services are managed by the statutory Appartment owners society duly elected/selected by the apartment owners in accordance with the consent of the majority of the apparent owners.However,if your cause of grievances is otherwise, you are free to place your issues in the general body meeting of the association for deliberations and decision.Please note that you are bounden by the lawful decision of the statutory Appartment owners society.

Holding Association is responsible to charge maintenance fee for maintenance of the housing project. Each flat owner has to pay maintenance whether full or vacant. Charge is dependent on measurement. Bigger flats pay more maintenance charge.
