Majority vs Minority
A lawful majority can approve redevelopment and bind dissenters, but only if the quorum, consent and process are correct. Here is where the majority's power ends and a member's rights begin.
Case law
Redevelopment judgments & case law
Key court rulings on society redevelopment, explained in plain language — what the court held and what it means for your society and members.
Terminating a Developer
A plain-English guide to when a Mumbai housing society can lawfully remove a builder who delays, abandons or defaults on redevelopment — and the court-tested way to do it.
Withdrawing Consent
Once you validly consent to redevelopment and sign the registered agreement, you usually cannot take it back. Here is what Mumbai society members need to know.
Changing Sanctioned Plans
A Mumbai developer cannot alter the sanctioned plan, layout, common areas or your carpet area without flat purchasers' consent. Here is what RERA Section 14 protects, and how to enforce it.
Right Forum for Disputes
Send a redevelopment dispute to the wrong court and your society can lose years. Here is how to pick the right door in Mumbai — and why it matters.
Open Spaces & Podium
What the courts and DCPR 2034 say about protecting recreation grounds, set-backs and podiums — and the open-space checks every Mumbai society should make before signing.
Builder Pays Till Conveyance
Why the developer, not the members, must carry property tax, ground rent and other outgoings on a redevelopment building until the conveyance deed is registered in the society's name.
Construction Defects
Your developer, not the flat owners, must fix construction defects. Here is the five-year RERA rule, what courts and consumer commissions order, and how to claim.
No Stamp Duty on Rehab Flat
The rehabilitated flat you get back in redevelopment is not a fresh purchase, so full stamp duty should not apply again. Here is the rule, the PAAA and the tax angle in plain words.
Builder Cheating Is a Crime
When a redevelopment builder dishonestly cheats your society, it can be criminal cheating under the BNS, not only a civil or RERA dispute. Here is when, and how, your Mumbai society can act.
Invalid Committee & Elections
A committee that was never validly elected — or whose term has lapsed — cannot conduct fresh elections or take binding decisions. Here is the law and how to fix it.
