Increase in Society Maint Charges from Rs2/- per sft to Rs.3/- per sqft

2 years ago

Dear sir

I have a flat in Greater Noida measuring approx 1960 sft. The Society used to levy 2/- per sqft charges till August 2021. However in August they conducted a society meeting and with only 15 members attending the meeting, they increased the maint charges to Rs.3/- per sqft which means an increase of almost 2000/- over the existing 4000/-.

Also we are a society with almost 150 flats but they passed the resolution with only 15 members attending as most of the members are serving Army Officers and posted at various locations, some are retired officers but not in Greater Noida so cannot attend such meetings at short notice especially with various Covid restrictions in place.

I would like to know can society pass such arbitrary increase of Maint Charges by 50% and that too with such a minimal attendance and without any accompanying increase of amenities which warrant such a whopping increase of maint charges.

Thanks
