No, only thing to take care of that drainage and leakage should not deteriorate their possession.
As an owner what approach I should follow and what documents i need to carry on construction. My society has told me this is a structural change and I cannot build toilet where mine kitchen was present and 5th floor kitchen also present below that. What is the solution to this problem. ?

This will definitely object by co members in building. As it`s alteration of actual/common plan and that too in such way which may disgust below owner kitchen space/ceiling.
you have to keep kitchen where it was originally built . no structural alterations are permissible in flat
Dear Client,
As per facts, firstly you have to follow the guideline & rules of the society if any regarding modification of basic structure of the building, then you can change it, otherwise not.
plz call me through KAANOON for more.
No there is no such rule only you can't alter the beam and columns of building.
If your activities are structural change and you cannot do that in case you do that that can be demolished by the development authority on the complaint of your neighbours you need to go as per the development plan and building plan has been approved by Development Authority the resident welfare Association is empowered to take any decision in this regard and they send you notice and impose penalty for any structural changes in the building you are right as a apartment holder is limited to to use of the property and do the normal repairs and maintenance you cannot make any changes to change the layout of the apartment
You cannot restructure the building as per your will and wish at any time you may feel so.
You have an approved construction plan approved by the authorities concerned hence you cannot deviate any construction beyond the approved plan.
You can carry out minor repairs which would not alter the structure in any manner.
If the society is initiating action on this then the authorities may order for demolition, hence do not take any risk.
You may be a owner of the flat but you cannot make structural changes at your whims.
The building construction plan has been approved by the competent authority hence any changes in the plan of construction would be deemed as deviation and violation of the approved plan and liable to be demolished.
