Q: What is the sinking fund percentage for Maharashtra housing societies?

Minimum 0.25% per annum of each flat's construction cost, as certified by the architect at the time of construction. This is prescribed by Rule 106C-11(2) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Rules 2026, effective 18 June 2026.

By filing Form Y-6 under section 154B-29 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960, before the Joint/Deputy/Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies, with a court fee of ₹100.

Members’ area

The half of this website only your members see

Everything above is public. Behind a sign-in, members of the society read what is meant only for them — and the office decides, member by member, who gets in.

Members-only notices

AGM agendas, meeting papers and circulars meant for members, not the public.

The society newsletter

Every issue, readable on a phone, instead of a photocopy under the door.

Confirmed by the office

A member registers their flat; the secretary confirms them against the register.
