11 October 2012 If you use it for your office and have staff reporting, sell goods from your house then yes but the general body has to determine the charges, not the managing committee. They have to take approval from the body on quantum. If you are residing there but have it as your mailing address then NO. You would be doing your work, providing your services from outside or at clients place but where your fixed place of work is not determined, authorities register you at your house as by default that will be the next in order where to register you. Receiving bank account statements and couriers in name of your proprietorship concern does not make the usage commercial.

Eg., you should receive mail as Mr.XYZ prop of ABC, or Mr.XYZ, Advocate, XYZ and Co. and what not. Better you complain against your society with registrar of societies if they extort extra money from you for the latter.
