हाउसिंग सोसायटी के नियम: क्या मैनेजिंग कमेटी ही है सोसायटी की सर्वेसर्वा? जानिए अध्यक्ष और सदस्यों के अधिकार

Image
Housing Society Rules and Rights: महाराष्ट्र में लाखों लोग को-ऑपरेटिव हाउसिंग सोसायटी में रहते हैं। लेकिन इसके बावजूद आज भी कई सदस्यों को सोसायटी के नियम, अधिकार और जिम्मेदारियों की पूरी जानकारी नहीं होती। इसी वजह से कई बार सोसायटी के कामकाज को लेकर विवाद पैदा हो जाते हैं। सबसे आम गलतफहमियों में से एक यह है कि अध्यक्ष, सचिव, कोषाध्यक्ष या मैनेजिंग कमेटी ही सोसायटी की सर्वेसर्वा होती है और वह अपनी मर्जी से कोई भी फैसला ले सकती है। वास्तव में ऐसा नहीं है। महाराष्ट्र को-ऑपरेटिव सोसायटीज एक्ट, 1960 के तहत सोसायटी के कामकाज में जनरल बॉडी और मैनेजिंग कमेटी दोनों की अलग-अलग भूमिका और अधिकार तय किए गए हैं। कानून के अनुसार, निर्धारित कानूनी ढांचे के अधीन सोसायटी की अंतिम अथॉरिटी जनरल बॉडी के पास होती है, जबकि सोसायटी के प्रबंधन की जिम्मेदारी मैनेजिंग कमेटी की होती है। तो आखिर अध्यक्ष, सचिव, मैनेजिंग कमेटी और आम सदस्यों के अधिकार क्या हैं? आइए आसान भाषा में समझते हैं। जनरल बॉडी की क्या भूमिका है? हाउसिंग सोसायटी के सभी पात्र सदस्य मिलकर जनरल बॉडी का हिस्सा होते हैं। सोसायटी के महत्वपूर्ण मामल...

Can Ground-Floor Residents Refuse to Pay for Lift Repairs? Here’s What Housing Society Rules Say

Image
A lift may be used more frequently by residents living on higher floors, but that does not necessarily mean they alone are responsible for its maintenance and repair costs. This question often creates disagreements in cooperative housing societies. Ground-floor and first-floor members sometimes argue that they rarely use the lift and therefore should not have to contribute towards expensive repair work. Their argument is simple: “Those who use the lift should pay for it.” However, housing society expenses are generally not calculated only on the basis of how frequently an individual member uses a common facility. A Common Facility Means a Shared Responsibility A lift is an important part of a residential building's common infrastructure. It is installed for the benefit and convenience of residents and forms part of the facilities that the society is expected to maintain. The fact that one resident uses the lift several times a day while another hardly uses it does not change the na...

Gold Hallmarking Gets Costlier: BIS Raises Fee by 67%, Here’s What Gold Buyers Need to Know

Image
Gold jewellery buyers are likely to pay closer attention to hallmarking as a major change in the cost of hallmarking has been introduced ahead of the festive and wedding season. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has increased the hallmarking fee charged for gold jewellery. The fee has gone up by around 67% , with the charge increasing from ₹45 to ₹75 for each gold jewellery article . The revision comes at a time when demand for gold jewellery typically becomes important during festivals and weddings. While the higher hallmarking fee is directly applicable to jewellers rather than customers, it could increase the cost of doing business for jewellery retailers. Here is what the new change means and what consumers should know before buying gold. Gold Hallmarking Fee Increased From ₹45 to ₹75 Under the revised fee structure, jewellers will now have to pay ₹75 per gold jewellery article for hallmarking. Earlier, the charge was ₹45.

Tenant Rights: PG छोड़ते समय मकान मालिक डिपॉजिट वापस नहीं कर रहा? जानिए कब पैसे रोकना हो सकता है गैरकानूनी

Image
Property Rules: पेइंग गेस्ट (PG) या किराए का कमरा छोड़ने के बाद सिक्योरिटी डिपॉजिट यानी जमा राशि वापस न मिलना किरायेदार और मकान मालिक के बीच विवाद का बड़ा कारण बन सकता है। कई किरायेदारों को यह जानकारी नहीं होती कि मकान मालिक डिपॉजिट में से कब पैसे काट सकता है, कितनी कटौती की जा सकती है और अगर बाकी रकम वापस नहीं मिल रही है तो क्या कदम उठाए जा सकते हैं। अगर आप किसी PG या किराए के मकान में रहते हैं या हाल ही में वहां से कमरा खाली किया है, तो अपने अधिकारों के साथ-साथ किराए और डिपॉजिट से जुड़े जरूरी दस्तावेजों को सुरक्षित रखना भी महत्वपूर्ण है। PG छोड़ने के बाद सिक्योरिटी डिपॉजिट का क्या होगा? सिर्फ PG या किराए का कमरा छोड़ने के कारण मकान मालिक को आपका पूरा सिक्योरिटी डिपॉजिट अपने पास रखने का अधिकार नहीं मिल जाता। किराए के समझौते की शर्तों और लागू कानूनों के आधार पर मकान मालिक कुछ वैध बकाया रकम डिपॉजिट से काट सकता है। इसमें बकाया किराया, बिजली या पानी का बिल और किरायेदार की वजह से हुए वास्तविक नुकसान की उचित भरपाई जैसी रकम शामिल हो सकती है। हालांकि, वास्तविक नुकसान और सामान्य टूट-फूट (Norm...
