I am a member of a co-opoerative housing society in Maharshtra (kalyan). Two months back, I have rented my flat & on the same, I started paying 10% extra maintenance to respective CHS. Also this extra charges were agreed by secretory of society.
Now suddenly, CHS have refused to accept my paid maintenance with extra cost. Now they are pressurizing me to pay 50% extra on normal maintenance.
Pl. guide me on this matter.
