Recovery of Dues from Members of Cooperative Housing Society

Structured Legal Recovery Support for Housing Societies

Delayed maintenance payments and outstanding dues from members directly impact a cooperative housing society’s financial stability. Non-payment affects repairs, vendor payments, statutory compliance, and overall functioning of the society.

At Advisors Nexus, we act as Cooperative Society Legal Consultants, assisting housing societies in recovering outstanding dues through legally compliant and structured procedures.

Our objective is clear:
Protect the society’s financial discipline while ensuring lawful recovery.

We support societies in recovery of:

• Outstanding maintenance charges

• Repair and sinking fund contributions

• Non-occupancy charges

• Parking charges

• Interest on delayed payments

• Water and utility recoveries

• Special levy or redevelopment contributions

• Any dues lawfully approved by the society

Legal Framework for Recovery

Recovery from members must strictly follow cooperative society laws and procedural requirements.

Improper recovery action may:

• Be legally challenged

• Delay recovery

• Create internal disputes

• Expose committee members to liability

We ensure recovery is initiated in compliance with applicable cooperative society regulations and bye-laws.
