RWA not disclosing financial information till AGM
5 years ago
Hi, I have a property in Bangalore. As per our bye law, association will present audited financial information during AGM. We also maintain an open book. However, it doesn't say what should association do when residents request to see the income and expenditure (non-audited) in the middle of the year. Some of us requested the current association to show the income and expenditure open book. But the association is categorically stating that audited financial statement will be presented during AGM and they can't give any information in any other platform. It seems this is the rule. My question is this true that association can only disclose financials during the AGM and on no other circumstances?
If this is not true, what steps can we take to look at the financials?
