Who cannot become committee member of housing society in Maharashtra?

The Model Bye-Laws provide that one of the main conditions for a member's ineligibility to run in an election is if he fails to pay society dues within three months after receiving written notice of the default.

The Election cannot be challenged by an Associate Member for whom the Original Member has not obtained a No-Objection Certificate.

Such limitations do not apply to proposers or seconders, who are free to suggest and back as many candidates as they like, regardless of past-due bills or other financial obligations.

Also ineligible are those who sublet or rent their homes without first informing the community.

No one is eligible if they don't present accurate bookkeeping or expense records for the money the group has given them. Anyone who disregards their given responsibilities and is found to have violated trust is ineligible to serve on the committee.

In addition, a member is removed from the Committee if he misses three consecutive monthly sessions of the Committee without a leave of absence. Members who have retired but have not been disqualified are allowed to run for office.

This is all you need to understand about committee members of housing society.
