The problem

The year, in the Secretary's wordsसचिवांच्या शब्दांत प्रश्न

“AGM by 30 September. No extension.”

The general body must meet within six months of the year's close. Miss it and the Registrar may call the meeting — and committee members risk disqualification.

s.75(1) · s.75(5) · BL 93

“Returns on MahaSahakar — or deemed not filed.”

The annual return (report, audited accounts, surplus plan, bye-law amendments, AGM date) is due by 30 September; the auditor return within a month of the AGM.

s.79(1A) · s.79(1B)

“Minutes in 3 months. Replies in 15 days.”

General-body minutes finalised within three months and circulated within fifteen days; a member's complaint answered within fifteen days of the committee meeting that hears it.

Why now

What changes in 2026–27२०२६-२७ मध्ये काय बदलते

The MCS (Amendment) Rules 2026 were notified on 18 June 2026. New model bye-laws follow, and every society adopts them. SocietyAxis carries both regimes — the 2014 bye-laws you run on today, and the 2026 set from the day your society adopts it.

  • Interest on arrears capped at 12 % a year, simple (was up to 21 %)Rule 106C-12 · BL 72
  • Committee spending on repairs without general-body sanction: ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh by size (was ₹25,000 to ₹1 lakh)Rule 106C-13 · BL 156
  • Co-operative education and training: every member one 3-hour session a year; committee and staff twoRule 106C-7
  • New model bye-laws — official draft published, objections closed 27 Aug 2026 draft — pending notificationdBL 136
  • Data-protection duties for societies as data fiduciaries apply from 13 May 2027DPDP Rules 2025
Pillar 1 · The record

Registers that are always currentनोंद — जिवंत नोंदवह्या

Every register the bye-laws require, kept as it happens: an entry is never overwritten — a correction is a new line that points at the old one. Print any register, on any date, in English and Marathi.

  • Register of Members (Form I) and List of Members (Form J)Rule 32 · Rule 33
  • Share register and share certificates, with duplicatesBL 9 · dBL 14
  • Nomination register — entry within 7 days of the committee meetingBL 31
  • Sinking fund, investment, audit rectification (Form O), minutes booksBL 140
  • Tenants, parking and complaint registersdBL 136 draft — pending notification

Registers & documents →

Register of Members in Form I, bilingual English and Marathi, generated for a demo society: member names, dates of admission, share certificate numbers and nominees.
A share certificate generated by SocietyAxis for a demo society, with signatory blocks for the Chairman, Secretary and a committee member.
Pillar 2 · The calendar

The year, on railsवर्ष, ठरलेल्या मार्गावर

Every obligation of the co-operative year with its due date, owner and source — generated from the regime your society is on. An obligation is closed only when its evidence is attached: the minutes, the filed return, the acknowledgement.

Pillar 4 · AGM in one pack

The AGM pack, checked item by itemएका संचात वार्षिक सभा

SocietyAxis checks the pack against the agenda the bye-laws prescribe, shows what is missing, and merges the ready pack into one PDF for the notice. After the meeting, the 79(1A) return bundle comes out of the same record.

  • Minutes of the previous AGM / SGM — readyBL 94
  • Notice and agenda, with per-member proof of service — readyBL 98
  • Committee's annual report — readyBL 94
  • Audited statements of accounts (Form N) — readyRule 62
  • Statutory audit report — readys.81(5B)
  • Audit rectification report (Form O) — readyRule 73
  • Budget for the ensuing year — pendingBL 94
  • Proposed auditor from the State panel, with consent — pendings.79(1B)

Six of eight ready: the budget and the proposed auditor are still open.

Pillar 5 · Money by the bye-laws

A bill a member can check line by lineउपविधीनुसार हिशेब

Each charge head carries the basis the Rules prescribe — equal per flat, carpet area, inlets, the wing's lift — and the bill shows it. Interest stops at the cap. Funds are kept as their own ledgers with matched investments, and the bank statement reconciles itself.

Billing, accounts and bank reconciliation →

Service chargesEqual per flat · BL 66(a)₹2,400
Property taxAs levied by the corporation · BL 66(a)₹1,150

Interest on arrearsSimple, ≤ 12 % a year, none within the payment period · Rule 106C-12₹0
Total for the month₹5,460

Sample flat, illustrative amounts. Under ₹7,500 per member per month: no GST GST. Under the 2026 Rules insurance and lease rent move from built-up to carpet area Rule 106C-12.

Pillar 8 · The gate

Gate, done rightप्रवेशद्वार, नियमांनुसार

The member approves a visitor on the phone; the guard admits on the pass code. Walk-ins wait for the resident's decision. Staff attendance and vehicles are logged — and the guard app keeps working when the network does not, syncing when it returns.

  • Visitor passes, walk-ins with the resident's decision, deliveries and cabs
  • Staff and domestic-help attendance; vehicle register
  • Offline-first guard app on an ordinary Android phone
  • Every visitor entry carries its retention date — five years for security logsdBL 138 draft — pending notification
