Dear Sir,
No, a flat owner cannot construct a permanent room on the common terrace.
Any such construction is unauthorized under:
Municipal laws (PMC / PCMC Development Control Rules)
Co-operative Housing Society bye-laws
It requires consent of the society and building sanction from PMC. Without these, the construction is illegal and liable for demolition.

Dear Client,
The rooftops of the building of a multi-storied Building are known as an open terrace and are a part of the common area that is usable for all the floor owners of a multi-storied building. Legally, a Builder cannot sell it or a Society cannot permit any floor owner to use the terrace for his own purposes in any multi-storeyed building, which is known as a common area usable by all the floor owners of the Building. Once the co-residents raise any objection or complaint before the competent authority, i.e, Registrar or Dy. Registrar of Cooperative Societies or the Municipal authority, both the Builder and society may face legal consequences.
