[Resolved]  Housing Society — Non occupancy charges in excess of the stipulated 10% as per govt. order.

According to the latest verdict of the Apex courts, the Society is entitled to charge only as per the government notification issued under Section 79 A of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960, which states that Non-occupancy charges should not exceed 10 per cent of the service charges (excluding Municipal taxes. Inspite of this the society is yet charging me Rs. 1000 per month as non occupancy. I refused to pay the excess and paid only the required 10% . But when a new leave n license was made they refused to give the NOC to allow the tenant to occupy the house untill I paid the illegal non occupancy arrears with interest @ 21%. I was blackmailed by the society into paying up. Who should I address my complaint to ? The society is in Versova, Yari Road.
