By way of a resolution passed by all the members of the phase II a separate bank account may be opened for that phase. There is no legal bar to having separate bank accounts for different phases in a society.

There cannot be two accounts running parallel for a single body that too on the same lines.

Instead let the phase-II members plan to have their own society by themselves without combining themselves with phase-I, if there are proper demarcations to the common areas and other amenities between both the phases

before geting merged into the existing society, we phase II flat owners want to open second account, hence our maintance collection can be deposited in new account. is it possible to ask for new account, before we start merged in or to get share certificate. what is the procedure to open second account. phase II is agreed to have singnature authority of existing commetee.so what is the procedure to open second accout in existing society for phase II maintanance collection.

A second account to run parallel to the original account may not be recognised in law, so instead of merging with each other, it may be decided among the new unit members to have their own society with their own functionaries. You all can gather and discuss the feasibility and other provisions in this regard, if need be, private consultation with a reputed advocate may be had for processing it.

it would be better for you to separate your account and file a case before the society registrar for cancellation of merger.
