05 October 2021 We are a cooperative housing society and sinking fund is collected on a monthly based on the flat area. The society has decided to undertake repair works. The funds will be generated as below: -
Repair funds = Sinking fund +building Repair funds+ additional collection from members based on flat area.
Now a 2 BHK flat owner has more flat areas so their contribution to sinking fund is the more as compared to 1BHK & 1RK. The society is planning to utilize sinking + building repair fund as common funds, in such case it acts as a subsidy for 1 BHK and lower area flat owners as they have already contributed less to these fund as their flat area is smaller and 2 BHK owner losses the most. Note If the society is doing additional collection for repair fund based on the individual flat area, then why cannot sinking + building repair fund which is already collected based on flat area be divided based on the individual flat contribution so that it will be a win-win for all. opinion and view on this.

06 October 2021 1. Note that there are specific conditions in the CHS act, for the utilization of sinking fund. So, first check that in bye-laws, before its utilization.
2. The contribution should always be divided based on carpet area of individual flat, which has its own justification.
