The questions are answered by industry experts & the Mygate Team.

Q1. Is probate necessary for transferring the property situated in mumbai to the nominee ?

A flat can be transferred to a nominee after the original member’s death, but full ownership requires an NOC from siblings or other legal heirs. If the member has named a legal heir in their will, probate is needed to complete the transfer.

Q2. Can RWAs disconnect the water or electricity supply of maintenance defaulters?

In Mangalore, an elderly couple has lived without electricity for four years after their RWA cut off power due to unpaid dues. Similarly, in Bengaluru, tensions escalated into a physical altercation when a resident’s water and electricity were disconnected due to the non-payment of fees.

Many RWAs use disconnection as a measure to recover dues, but does it entail crossing the legal line?

Water and electricity are considered essential services, and multiple court rulings, including from the Supreme Court, have made it clear that RWAs do not have the authority to cut these services. For instance, the Madras High Court ruled in 2010 that disconnecting water over unpaid dues was illegal, as it interfered with residents’ access to common facilities.

The Electricity Act of 2003 also states that only authorised officials can disconnect power, and only under specific conditions. Disconnections must follow legal procedures and be preceded by proper notice.RWAs cannot directly intervene in this process.
However, in states like Karnataka, the issue is more complicated. The lack of a comprehensive real estate regulatory framework means that RWAs and residents often find themselves in a legal grey area, leaving many disputes unresolved.

So, what can RWAs do when faced with non-payment issues? Associations can pursue legal routes such as filing recovery suits in civil court or approaching the registrar if registered under cooperative society laws. In states like Maharashtra, established processes allow RWAs to take their cases to the registrar, who can issue orders for dues recovery along with interest.

Q3. Can a Housing Society be exempt from paying GST?

Did you know that If your society’s turnover is under ₹20 lakh or the total annual maintenance stays below ₹20 lakh, you can skip GST altogether? No registration, no GST, nothing!

But, if you’re in Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the threshold for registration liability drops to ₹10 lakh.

Annual Turnover is up to ₹20 lacks and the Maintenance Charge per member per month remains under ₹7500. No GST.

Annual Turnover is up to ₹20 lacks and the Maintenance Charge per member per month is over ₹7500. Still No GST.

Annual Turnover is More than ₹20 Lakh and the Maintenance Charge per member per month remains under ₹7500.

Q4. Can Tenants stand for RWA elections?

According to a recent Mygate survey, more than 52% of RWA members believe tenants don’t share the same voting rights as homeowners. But is that really the case?

There’s no national law that directly bars tenants from standing in elections, yet things get tricky with state laws and society bylaws. For instance, in the U.P. Apartment Act, only apartment owners can be part of the association.

So, are tenants just out of the game?

Not quite! A High Court ruling even recognized lawful tenants as ‘apartment owners’—if they’re living there and impacted by the association’s decisions. This interpretation focuses on including those who live in the community, not just property owners.

But it doesn’t stop there. Bylaws can still influence who can vote or run, leading to legal disputes. In 2022, the Uttarakhand High Court took it a step further, ruling that all residents, including tenants, should have the right to participate in RWA elections.

So, what’s the bottom line? The rules can differ depending on your location, but tenants may have more of a stake in RWA elections than you think.

Q5. Can a gated community have more than one RWA?

The short answer is No. Once an RWA is registered in your community, it holds all legal rights and can’t be replaced by another. This existing RWA has the authority to take legal action and enjoy benefits under the law.

In fact, a notable incident back in 2019 in Gurugram involved four RWAs operating simultaneously in Mayfield Gardens in N-Block, which led to conflicts among residents. The district registrar intervened and cancelled the registrations of these RWAs. According to the Haryana Registration and Regulation of Society (HRRS) Act, no colony can have more than one functional RWA, and only a single common governing body can manage services and facilities in that area.

However if discontent is thick in the air i.e. if a resident or a member of the association is not satisfied with the current RWA, they can file a complaint with the Registrar of Societies.

If the current RWA is defunct—perhaps its term has ended —then they can then establish a new RWA. They just need to follow the Apartment Owners Act or Societies Registration Act and publish a notice in the newspaper.

Q6. Can the society claim a GST refund from the builder if maintenance was only provided for 5 months and not the full 2 years?

If the builder collected 2 years of maintenance fees, including 18% GST, but only maintained the building for 5 months, the builder is required to refund the maintenance fees for the remaining months along with the corresponding GST.

To address this, the apartment owners or association should:

1. Write to the Builder:
– Send a formal letter requesting an explanation for why the GST for the unused maintenance period was not refunded.
– Specify a clear deadline for the builder to respond.

2. Consult a Legal Consultant:
– Engage a legal consultant with expertise in residential property matters and accounting.
– Have the consultant draft a notice demanding the refund of the GST for the unused maintenance period.

The builder should then issue a credit note for the unutilized months, adjusting their taxable income to reflect only the 5 months of maintenance. This will allow the builder to claim a refund or adjustment for the excess GST that was initially paid.

Q7. Can any external organisation help me install solar panels in my community?

If your society needs assistance with installing solar panels on the rooftop, you can reach out to the Directorate of Cooperative Societies. They can connect you with the right resources and authorities, making the process easier and encouraging your community to adopt sustainable energy solutions.

Q8. Is it fine for my residents to promote any business on the Mygate feed?

If you recommend a business on the Mygate feed, please disclose any relationships or financial interests. This includes stating if the business belongs to a friend, relative, or networking group, or if you have an ownership or investment stake in the business.

Q9. Do the recent changes in criminal laws impact building bylaws? If yes, how should we adjust and adapt?
(Ashish, Surabhi garden)

The new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Act has no direct impact on the model bylaws already implemented. However, this act covers all criminal offences that may come under bylaws – vandalism, criminal trespassing etc… Therefore offences of this nature would be subject to the penalty imposed by the act. To be better equipped it would be in one’s best interest to familiarise themselves with criminal offences that would fall under the bylaws.

Q10. What are the typical reasons for the disqualification of candidates from RWA elections?
(John, Sunlight greens)

Candidates may be disqualified from RWA elections due to reasons such as non-payment of dues to society, breach of society rules or bylaws, criminal convictions, or failure to meet eligibility criteria specified in the election guidelines. Additionally, a member cannot contest an election if they fail to pay society dues within three months of receiving a written notice. Additionally, an Associate Member without a No-Objection Certificate from the Original Member cannot participate in the Election.

Q11. What is the expense distribution factor for RWF?
(Jigar, Kalpataru Sunrise)

The expense distribution factors for a Resident Welfare Fund typically involve how funds collected from residents are allocated and distributed to cover various expenses and initiatives within a residential community. The specific factors and methods for expense distribution can vary based on the bylaws and policies of the RWA or housing society, as well as the needs and preferences of the residents. The basic consideration fpr expense distribution is done on the basis of the nature of expense incurred. For instance, shared expenses like service charges are divided equally among all residents, while personal consumption expenses like water charges are calculated based on individual usage. Each society follows its own guidelines, often outlined in state-specific bylaws, ensuring fair allocation tailored to community needs.

Q12. Can by-laws be amended to increase the number of MC members?
(Mitesh, Srishti Complex)

By-laws are regulations made by the local authorities to establish an internal system for decision-making and the obligations of members. The Managing Committee once set up, is responsible for taking up the financial, operational, and executive duties. The number of MC members cannot be increased by amending the by-laws. However, you can appoint two people as advisors to the Committee. They can attend MC meetings and provide advice but do not have voting rights on any resolutions.

Q13. What are the guidelines for electrical charging infrastructure for EV charging in an apartment?
(Abhishek Arora, Alpine Viva)

Navigating the regulations around EV charging infrastructure in gated communities can be daunting, especially since guidelines vary from state to state and city to city. Interestingly, there are currently no pan-Indian guidelines to streamline the process. For Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) gearing up to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in apartment complexes, understanding these nuances is key. To simplify this journey, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide that covers everything RWAs need to know about implementing EV charging infrastructure, complete with current guidelines and best practices.

Navigating the complexities of organizing large-scale events in cosmopolitan gated communities can be daunting. Today, we sit down with Mr. Gowrish Prabhu to uncover how Prestige Song of the South tackles these challenges head-on, addressing the concerns shared by Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) everywhere. From cultural celebrations to environmental stewardship, discover the innovative approaches and community-centric strategies that set their events apart in Bengaluru’s bustling landscape.

Q1. Why do you believe a cultural committee is essential for a gated society like yours? What unique benefits does it bring to the residents?

Cultural diversity: Bangalore is a cosmopolitan city, and our society reflects this diversity, making it essential to have a cultural committee that can organize events celebrating this rich cultural tapestry.

Effective governance: The committee plays a vital role by ensuring everyone understands what is happening within the society and who is responsible for different tasks. This clarity is key to effective governance.

Regulatory Compliance: Additionally, the committee helps streamline regulatory processes and ensures compliance with local regulations, such as environmental norms and the K2 FORM in Karnataka, which includes managing noise levels, lighting, and other factors to maintain a safe and pleasant environment.

Quality standards: By setting standards for events, the cultural committee ensures a minimum quality of food and specifies what types of events are allowed or not allowed, such as prohibiting political mockery. This helps maintain the community’s values and expectations. Furthermore, the committee distributes work among its members and coordinates with the association, ensuring that events are planned and executed smoothly. This efficient mobilization of efforts is essential for the successful organization of large-scale events.

Marketing & Promotion: Lastly, the committee handles the marketing and promotion of events, ensuring that residents are well-informed and encouraged to participate, which boosts community engagement and participation.

Q2. Your society must have people following various cultures and religions. How do you ensure that your event calendar is inclusive and respectful of this diversity?

“To avoid any accusations of partiality, we have established a clear and transparent approach. We have decided that association funds will only be used for three key events: Independence Day, Republic Day, and Karnataka Rajyotsava.”

For these events, we organize flag-hoisting ceremonies, cultural programs, and food stalls, and we delegate the management to an independent committee to maintain transparency and community involvement.

For other festivals, we empower residents to celebrate independently. As long as these celebrations comply with local laws and society rules, there are no restrictions. This approach allows for a wide variety of festivals from different regions and religions to be celebrated. Residents are responsible for obtaining any necessary local compliance permissions and managing the organization of their events.

While the responsibility for these independent celebrations lies with the organizers, we support them by helping with marketing. We use our official channels and allow promotion on our society’s social media platforms to ensure that all residents are aware of upcoming events and can participate if they wish.

This system ensures that our event calendar remains inclusive and respectful of all cultural and religious practices while maintaining order and compliance with regulations.

Q3. Large events often generate a lot of waste. What measures do you take for effective waste management post-events to keep your society clean and green?

To manage waste effectively after large events and keep our society clean and green, we focus on education and sustainable practices. We have a well-managed waste management system in place, including partnerships with vendors who ensure proper waste disposal. We encourage event organizers to minimize waste generation by planning appropriately and avoiding over-purchasing.

“Any leftover items are distributed to our staff or others in need, ensuring nothing goes to waste.”

Q4. Bengaluru often faces water shortages. How do you plan and execute events during such times while being mindful of water conservation?

During water crises, such as the recent restrictions on using fresh water for swimming pools during Holi, we take proactive measures to conserve water. For example, we utilized rainwater harvested from the last month’s rains to fill our water tank. We also urged residents to avoid using fresh water for Holi, encouraging them to order water tankers if necessary rather than using society water. This year, we successfully promoted a dry Holi, emphasizing the importance of minimal water usage and environmental responsibility.

Q5. Do you collaborate with event management companies for organizing events? If so, how do they enhance the experience for everyone?

Our events are primarily managed by our resident teams, catering to our captive audience of 7,000 people. While we have successfully organized events without external event management companies, we do bring in outside performers for special acts like folk performance artists of Dolu Kunitha, Huli Vesha, Gombe Dance & sandalwood stars. Additionally, Mygate organizes various fairs and flea markets for which once the theme is decided, the Mygate team takes charge. This resident-led approach fosters a strong sense of community involvement and ownership.

Q6. Do you rely on sponsorships to fund your events? What strategies do you use to attract sponsors and ensure their involvement benefits the community?

We have chosen to disallow sponsorships for our events. Sponsorships often lead to excessive noise and visual clutter, with sponsors putting up video displays, and playing loud music, which we aim to avoid. Instead, we collect funds directly from our residents, who have consistently
supported our events generously. By discouraging sponsorships, we maintain control over the event environment and ensure a pleasant experience for all attendees.

Q7. Budgeting is crucial for organising successful events. How do you allocate your budget and ensure all events are well-funded and executed smoothly?

Budget cap: Our association sets a strict budget cap for each event. This helps us maintain control over expenses and ensures that events remain within reasonable limits.

Voluntary contributions: If additional funds are needed, such as for hiring performers or actors, residents can contribute voluntarily. Most residents are happy to support cultural events by donating or purchasing food coupons.

Strict guidelines & penalties: To prevent events from becoming too extravagant, we have established guidelines on how events should be managed and concluded, minimizing waste and debris. We also impose penalties for excessive debris to encourage compliance. This structured approach ensures that all events are well-funded, responsibly managed, and enjoyable for the entire community.

Q8. Can you share an anecdote or something that stands out as particularly memorable or heartwarming vis-a-vis events in your community?

There are several memorable moments from our events. We make it a point to recognize and appreciate our staff with cash rewards and encouragement. We also cherish the participation of senior citizens and even young children, aged 6-7, who perform during our events. These instances not only showcase the diverse talents within our community but also highlight the spirit of unity and support that defines our gatherings. Each event becomes a special occasion where every participant, regardless of age, feels valued and celebrated.

As your housing society prepares for the annual audit, we are pleased to present an insightful interview with Mr. Vasudev Manjrekar of Shashank Consultancy Services. With nearly three decades of experience in society accounting and auditing, he has been a pivotal figure in the industry since establishing Shashank Consultancy Services in 1997. We asked him about the common concerns of RWA members, providing valuable insights to ensure a smooth audit process for your society.

Q. For how long have you and your team been conducting audits for societies?

I’ve got over 25 years of experience in accounting, specializing in billing, audit, and taxation for housing, commercial, and industrial societies. I began my career at Tata Motors and Hindustan Unilever, then started my consultancy firm in 1997. As a certified auditor on the Co-op department’s panel, I’ve worked with many top societies in Mumbai. Since 2013, I’ve been fully dedicated to Shashank Consultancy Services, focusing on audits for gated communities.

Q. From your experience, what are the common pitfalls or mistakes treasurers and accountants make that can complicate the audit process?

The most common mistakes often found include:

1. Delays in providing documentation: This usually occurs when supporting vouchers are not organised efficiently, making it difficult to match expenses with the vouchers presented.
2. Discrepancies in bank balances: Treasurers and accountants must ensure that the balances recorded in the society’s books match the actual balances reported by the bank. Failure to reconcile these balances can raise questions about the accuracy and integrity of the financial statements.

Q. What advice would you give RWA members to make an auditor’s job easier? Please provide a 5-6 point checklist for the same?

To ensure a smooth audit:

1. Adhere to sanctioned expense slabs to prevent disputes.
2. Validate all expenses to ensure every expense has vouchers and proper billing.
3. Monitor costs to prevent excessive spending.
4. Organise vouchers chronologically to facilitate efficient audit.
5. Reconcile bank statements monthly to detect discrepancies or fictitious entries.
6. Match received payments with transactions to ensure accuracy.

Q. What should a newly elected treasurer do in the first 30 days on the job to set up for a successful term?

In the first 30 days, a newly elected treasurer should:

1. Visit the bank to update signatures, ensuring operational continuity.
2. Check all cash and bank vouchers from the accountant for accuracy.
3. Compare the cash book balance with actual cash on hand and report any discrepancies to the committee immediately.
4. Prioritise the annual maintenance contracts (AMC) and collaborate with the committee to establish clear payment guidelines.
5. Define the levels of committee involvement required for sanctioning expenses and the extent of general body involvement in decision-making.
6. Instruct the accountant to provide monthly income and expenditure accounts within five days of the month’s end, along with cumulative year figures within five days of the closing month.

Q. How should RWA members with no finance background keep up with new accounting standards?

Managing audits without a finance background can be challenging, making professional help essential. Professional assistance ensures compliance with practices such as filing GST returns and income tax returns accurately and punctually, offering guidance and assurance that financial matters are handled correctly and following regulations.

Q. Lastly, what do you enjoy most about working with societies and RWAs? Do you have any memorable experiences or success stories you’d like to share?

Working with societies and RWAs is fulfilling due to the community engagement and the variety of challenges we face. One memorable incident was managing a society in Worli during an attempted robbery. The situation became chaotic when the police mistook the night watchmen for the culprits and even beat them up. I intervened to support the watchmen and ensured they were not unjustly punished. Eventually, the real robber was caught, and I’m glad I was able to prevent further injustice.
