Good news for Associate Members of housing societies in Maharashtra

There is an important amendment in Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act (MCS Act), making Associate Membership of a housing society easier. One can now become an Associate Member of a society with fewer formalities and hindrances. Housing guru Ramesh Prabhu, chief of Maharashtra Societies Welfare Association (MSWA), explains the significance of this recent amendment.

[@yuvrajmehta7744]

Beautifully explained the latest update regarding Associate membership in a housing society.

[@nileshsalunke5105]

Kudos to every Housing society member. Thank you sir, very timely information provided.

[@vijaynadkarni3228]

Sir, in how much period from making an application with fees should the Managing Committee take and communicate decision about the application to the applicant and the Member and what are the consequences if it is not done? Which are the relevant clauses under MCS Act Amendment 2019?

[@bharatmatakijai9601]

Does the RTI Act apply to co-operative housing societies? Please make a video of this topic also

[@prasadvoak]

Sir, Normally all CHS get newly published copy of model bye laws and adopt them as they are. Do the time to time amendments in the main housing societies act are all incorporated in the newly published model bye laws ? As observed societies are not aware of amendments in the main act. For example in 2019 amendments in the main act there are changes in associate, provisional membership cliterias and also their rights. Are these amendments in the act rflect in the newly published model bye laws ? Also the prescribed forms for associate, provisional membership as per the new amendments are not available. Where we do get those or does CHS have to draft its own forms ?

[@vijaynadkarni3228]

Which form is to be used for becoming Associate member who has no shares and interest in the flat property.

[@briandsouza2081]

How to add a member to existing committee of housing society. More than 4 members have resigned the committee. We need to add new members to our committee. Can we do this? And how? What are the process?

[@KrishnarajRaoUrbanNaxal]

Quick and dirty way is: Co-opt new members to the committee. Usually, in most societies, nobody objects to this. If they do, that's a second-level issue, and it will have far-reaching social consequences for them.
