Property tax payments are a source of income for development and civic bodies in India, and it is a mandatory levy imposed on owners of immovable assets. It is important to note that property tax is to be paid by owners who are in possession of the property.

It is quite common to have disputes and disagreements among residents in a cooperative housing society (CHS), whether it is about leakage, maintenance, car parking or any other issue. In most cases, the managing committee is supposed to arbitrate in the dispute to resolve matters amicably. Still, at times the committee members are at fault or helpless to provide a solution.

Housing societies cannot always be the trouble-free utopias that we imagine them to be, as they do have their own share of woes and problems. Some problems can be resolved by a discussion with the managing committee, but for more complicated issues, one may have to approach the appropriate authorities such as the municipal corporation, deputy registrar for co-operative societies, consumer court or even the police.
