The Managing committee of the society has powers to initiate recovery proceedings in Civil Court against people who failed to pay their maintenance charges.
For parking violations, MC can make resolutions in general meetings of the society and can take necessary corrective and deterrent action against the violators.

2) society can issue legal notice to defaulter to pay society dues
3) if he refuses take recovery proceedings against defaulter
4) society can allot car parking slots to members
5) penalise members who do not park cars in slots
6) pass resolution that not more than 2 parking slots to be allotted to member
7) not to permit third car in society
1. It would depend on the bye laws of the society.
2. If it is silent then the defaulters can be stopped from getting the common facilities and amenities.
3. However the essential services like water or electric supply can not be stopped.
1) If society had made any bye laws and it has been registered with registrar than every society member has to obey that.
2) Same for car parking as well society must have made bye-law's, if they are not parking their vehicale properly than another member's can make a oral or written complaint to Secretary or President of the society.
1. Powers of the Management Committee have been defined and specified in the bye laws of the Society.
2. Whether the member of the Society who have not paid maintenance are eligible to be the member of its Managing Committee is another issue and that also should be specified in the Bye Laws of the Society.
3. The Management Committee will not be deprived of its any specified powers as such if it has been formed as per law.
