The extra perks that you get from builder varies, it depends on the popularity of the builder and his accomplishments.

Q:I bought a house in Chennai for which i am the second owner. Recently the association members informed me that the first owner hasn't paid the corpus fund and they asked me to pay the corpus fund. It seems the first owner had given the cheque which was bounced a year back but the association just informed me. Can you please let me know how to proceed.
Q:I am residing in a Puravankara apartment. During the sale all the owners had paid charges towards BWSSB. As we havent yet received ( wont receicve atleast until 2016) Puravankara refunded the BWSSB to all the owners in 2009. The then presiding committee decided to collect the same amount from all residents and was decided that the same would be used when we recieve the BWSSB connection. The committee which took over next has decided that this will NOT be treated as charges towards BWSSB but will be treated as CORPUS FUND and have a given a deadline to pay up this amount. I have three questions:
1. Does the committee have the right to change the BWSSB amount in to corpus fund?
2. As the committee has converted this into a corpus amount the amount is different for diifferent flats. Is this right?
3. Is non payment of corpus fund a base for disconnection of services like water and electricity?
Please share your inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek
Latest Answer: Normally a corpus fund denotes a permanent fund kept for the basic expenditures. If an association decides to collect amount from its members for Corpus fund, the member cannot opt for non payment. I think your association may thought instead of making burden on members, they could change the BWSSB amount in to corpus fund. I also recommend that if association is collecting Corpus fund from members, it should be equal for all members. The non payment of corpus fund cannot be a base for disconnection of services like water and electricity.
