Hi Siva, the bylaws of an apartment association should contain the aims and objectives of the society, rules and regulations that apply to members, the specifics of selecting a member and office-bearers of the society, details of how the association aims to help the residents of the society, information on how the society will manage its income and expenses, the list the office-bearers who will be authorized to issue cheques and monetary transactions on behalf of the association and details about transfer charges, maintenance costs, penalties, etc.
