Costs have risen faster than the maintenance rate, which has not changed since handover, and last year's Managing Committee covered the difference from the reserves. Security alone costs ₹15 L a year more after the change of agency in November 2025. The full picture is on the money page.

It would carry on for a few years and then be gone, and it is the fund for lifts, painting and waterproofing in the years ahead. Its interest, about ₹67 L a year before tax, is already being spent on running costs. Spending the principal too is what last year's Managing Committee did, and what the General Body objected to.

The bye-laws give the General Body, not the MC, the power to approve the budget and set the monthly charge. The earliest a Special General Body Meeting can be held is 18 October. The 1 October bill is therefore at the current rate.

The MC's proposal will be in the meeting notice, with the budget behind it. The working range is 18–22% on the base charge before GST. The shortfall page shows what 20% would mean for each flat type, and the two ways GST could apply.

Maintenance above ₹7,500 a month per flat attracts 18% GST. The larger flats (A and A1 types) are at ₹7,432–7,499 today, so any increase crosses the line. Whether GST then applies to the whole amount or only to the excess changes the bill by over ₹1,300 a month, and whether the association can reclaim the GST on its own contracts changes the increase needed. The MC is taking written advice before the notice.

The Finance Sub-Committee's report, on the documents page, sets out the specific decisions it questioned: the pool repair, lift batteries, the security agency switch, paver work, a payment without an invoice, and withdrawals from the reserves. The previous Managing Committee has been asked to respond in writing to each; the auditor has been asked to explain. Both responses will be published, and the General Body will be asked to approve an independent review.

No. The Sub-Committee's report raises questions; the answers are being sought; a professional review will establish facts. Nobody will be named or blamed on these pages ahead of that.

Both are happening. The facility and security contracts, ₹1.8 Cr a year between them, are being tendered for the first time. But tenders take months, and residents rated housekeeping and landscaping the best-run services on the estate. The MC will not cut those to avoid an increase; it will cut what is not working, starting with the lift contract.

See the feedback page. In short: a public lift log from October, a root-cause report on the worst machines, the lift contract rebid on uptime; and for pests, an audit of what the vendor actually does, source reduction, and a published schedule.

They are taken from the accountant's monthly statements and the banks' own deposit summaries, and the sources are named on each page. They are not audited figures; the audited accounts are annual. Anything that is an estimate says so. If you find an error, write to spcaoa@gmail.com and it will be corrected and noted.

Monthly, after the accountant's statement for the month is received, and immediately after any General Body decision. The date at the foot of each page says what the figures cover.
