🔍 Did you know most housing societies in Maharashtra unknowingly repeat the same 7 costly mistakes year after year?
These “small” errors often lead to legal complications, audit failures, and mismanaged funds.

🏢 As someone helping CHS Committees modernize with AI + Compliance tools, I’ve seen it firsthand.
With over 1.1 lakh societies in Maharashtra, very few follow Model Bye-Laws 2014, maintain proper digital records, or file the M-20 bond on time.
What looks like a “missed task” today can become a major issue tomorrow.
⚠️ Ignorance isn’t just risky—it’s expensive.

✅ Here are 7 common mistakes CHS must avoid:
1️⃣ Outdated or incomplete member register → Leads to election disputes.
2️⃣ Skipped or delayed audits → Can invite heavy penalties.
3️⃣ No transparency in vendor payments → Causes conflict and mistrust.
4️⃣ Missing M-20 bond filing (within 15 days) → Invalidates the elected committee.
5️⃣ No digital backup of society records → Physical files = vulnerable.
6️⃣ Poor communication with members → Fuels unnecessary conflicts.
7️⃣ Still using old bye-laws → Update to Model Bye-Laws 2014 to stay safe.

💡 Quick Wins You Can Apply Today:

• Start a compliance audit checklist and track gaps.

• Digitize member, financial & vendor data (Google Drive or simple AI tools work!).

• Review your bye-laws + talk to a consultant to ensure legal alignment.

• Use AI tools to reduce manual workload and ensure error-free record-keeping.
