FAQ
Which method is fairest?
Hybrid (60% sqft + 40% equal) is most defensible — bigger flats use more of certain amenities, but lifts / security / common lighting are fixed costs that benefit everyone equally.
Are penal interest and sinking fund separate?
Yes. Maintenance covers monthly opex. Sinking fund (capex reserve) is collected separately. Penal interest applies on late payments — typically 18-21% p.a.
Can the society override the rules I picked?
Yes — society's AGM decides via majority vote. The bye-laws can specify the split method. Most state Cooperative Societies Acts default to per-sqft if not specified.
