How to take Action against Fraud and Mismanagement in Affairs of Housing Society

Fraud and mis-management in affairs of Housing Society are a widespread occurrence. Frequently members of the Managing Committee are caught embezzling funds or earning kickbacks from society contracts. Such unscrupulous people further conspiracy to suppress information from concerned residents. Therefore in such circumstances it becomes necessary to invoke the legal remedies enshrined in the Maharashtra Co-operative Housing Societies Act, 1960.
In this video Aditya Pratap, lawyer in Bombay High Court explains how to go about the legal process and approach the competent authorities to hold Society office-bearers accountable.

Approach co-operative court...I'm pursuing such matters at courts

[@naganandnileshwar8828]

@@lawfullyyours123 How old is the dispute? Have you gone directly to the co-op court? I have been fighting for 14 years and yet to succeed. Corruption is in the blood of the department. Complaint with ACB is of no help. It is a well-knit web of corruption. So much so that members have lost their homes since 2018 for an act of one disqualified member continuing to hold the reins everywhere.

Hello, out of 44 members, myself only had filed a complaint against the society in Navi Mumbai with Registrar. A lady administrator was appointed and then, now a male administrator is appointed. Complete violations of law by the committee members, administrator and the Registrar themselves. Have approached Mantralaya as well. However, nothing much. Kindly guide on the next course of action. Thank you.

[@vyomeshchandrasheth]

In spite of so called enquiry under section 83 five years ago to joint registrar CIDCO and recommended by enquiry officer to proceed under section 88, no action from MC for a years period. There are more than 220 members, but nobody wants to proceed. I have provided approx 500 pages with photos, date and time, no action for more than 5 years. Transgenders are better than society members.

Use the courts, adverse ruling by deputy registrar opens up judiciary for you to challenge the ruling.

[@KimbaTheWhiteLion]

You have to be a resident. Tenants can file complaints.

[@Sk_saraa]

Thanks sir .....if society is charging compound interest on maintenance what can we do

[@KimbaTheWhiteLion]

Penal interest compounded goes against the principle of mutuality. This is for RWAs where income from residents are tax exempt because of principle of mutuality which mandates that RWA cannot profit from its residents. If the society charges compounded penal interest then it's a violation of the principle of mutuality. File an official complaint with Registrar of Societies. This can potentially result in dissolution of RWA if penal interest has become a revenue stream.
