I am agree with Shaunak......
If members flat occupied by non-family members, that is Rentees / Leasees / Licensees = is equal to "non self-occupancy" which is further equal to = compulsory levy of non-occupancy charges subject to a FIXED “10% of the consolidated Service Charges” (excluding Statutory Taxes).

A person purchases a flat in a C-opeartive Htousing Society for his own residential usage. He (as Member) is bound by law to pay the Society Maintenance Charges, for his flat when he is personally residing or even if the flat is kept locked. This means that even if the member is keeping his flat locked at all times, when he stays in Dubai, the member has still to pay the "FULL" Society Maintenance Charges, without any concessions.

The Society is concerned only with the fixed 10% extra charges, over the regular service charges, as "Non-Occupancy Charges" and strictly nothing beyond this. There is no concept of less than 10% or greater than 10% non-occupancy charges. Any amount (whatsoever) collected, besides the fixed "10% Non-Occupancy Charges", is illegal, and is duly prosecutable under the Consumer Protection Act and also under the Indian Penal Code (Criminal Acts).
