In an apartment society in uttarpradesh if AOA decides to replace 15 year old lifts then costing 10 crore in 128 blocks then :
1) do this proposal has to be passed by simple majority in general body meeting where only 15% of total members are present or it has to be replaced after consent of majority of 2200 residents?
2) Before replacement should the AOA get certificate from an expert that these lifts need urgent replacement or not
3) Before replacement do the AOA has to get a survey report for old lifts?
4) Any other mandatory requirement

A.Dear Client,
As per the Bylaws of the AOA, the presence of 1/3rd of members is required to form a quorum in GB/ Special General Meeting to pass a resolution on a majority of vote. A resolution passed in a quorumless meeting is infructuous being unenforceable. A certificate from an expert is essentially required to certify the status of the lift and recommend its early replacement. Once a certificate is obtained from the expert, a survey report is not essential. On the basis of the expert report, a quotation from the lift replacement agencies is to be invited to access the lowest bidder to be considered for assigning the contract. All this information is required to be placed before the meeting for discussion and to make a well-informed decision or resolution on a majority of vote in the presence of 1/3rd member of the AOA.

A.Dear client,
It is mandatory that every owner having a lift in his building should get a certificate from the KSEI. Lifts should be replaced after every 10 years to avoid any mishap. It is mandatory that every lift should have a trained operator. Every lift should be covered by an annual maintenance contract.
