Generally, 20% of the residential property can be used as residential purpose but its depends on the state and the society bylaws. It may also be necessary to obtain permission from the local municipal authorities for conversion of the flat into a commercial establishment.

Hi,
Better, if you may check up the definitions from the local corporation/municipal laws. And ensure that your client or guardians of the kids are not using common areas such as parking lot or other amenities. Usually, commercial activity within residential premises is generally not permitted due security reasons, besides being a serious traffic nuisance for the residents. Ensure your business or service is not becoming a nuisance or threat of security system.If you are sure than go forward.

I am agree with Samarjit...
Due to the exorbitant rental values, this has become the common practice in almost all the cities. It not only saves the cost of renting or purchasing a commercial space, but also saves commuting time and expenses. One can use the commercial purpose provided, no production and manufacturing activity is conducted and the commercial use shall be completely professional in nature. But keep in mind that no nuisance to other dwellers of the society.

Hello Piya!!
A residential apartment cannot be used for commercial activities by a member or third-party. Commercialization of residential apartment is often opposed by apartment owners association and its members. The professional activity of teaching certain arts would not in itself become commercial even though some charges are levied in giving some performance.

Yes, it would not be in breach of the bye-laws and regulations of the society as there is no change of user involved. A commercial activity involves activity relating to purchase and sale of goods. According to source, business such as profession, service and teaching certain arts are permitted by apartment owners and association. The work done by professionals involves element of service and not an activity relating to purchase and sale of goods. Now-a-days, people are opening pre-schools in their premises without any approval and permission.
