Abhishek Venkat, Apartment Resident
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.
There is a news that says "Metrowater, sewerage connections are common benefit that all apartment owners are entitled to, say judges" www.thehindu.com
