Bangalore Society Maintenance Charges: Rules & Calculation
Bangalore society maintenance charges: rules and calculation
Maintenance charges in Bangalore housing societies fund common-area upkeep, security, lifts, water, and shared amenities. After builder handover, the RWA or registered cooperative society sets rates through a General Body Meeting resolution under registered bye-laws.
Local context
Karnataka apartment associations and RWAs; BBMP waste rules; mixed per sq ft and equal split.
Calculation methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Equal split | Same amount per flat |
| Per sq ft | Rate multiplied by carpet or built-up area |
| Hybrid | Fixed base plus area-based component |
Any formula change needs GBM notice, quorum, and a recorded resolution — not a WhatsApp poll.
