Parking Policy for Saket CHS Ltd. The parking places are to be allotted by the Managing Committee in accordance with the guidelines set out in the registered bye-laws of the society subject to any rules made by general body meeting.. Bye-Law No  78 to 84 contains rules applicable to parking and these are binding on all members and the Managing Committee must work accordingly.

Explanation regarding Levy of Cultural Charges not permitted.

Explanation regarding Levy of Cultural Charges not permitted. As per the model byelaws, Society cannot charge or demand money / donation for the Cultural / Festival Expenses from their members/residents. The Society cannot implement such Resolution in AGM / SGM and put burden of contributing any money on all the members including the members who are not interested to participate, even though such Resolutions are passed. This practice is followed by housing societies but because of several reasons though not permissible under Bye-Laws it goes on. Two components are comprised in “the Society Charges” which are listed in great detail in Chapter VIII. LEVY OF CHARGES OF THE SOCIETY. The contributions to be collected from the members of the society, towards outgoings and establishment of the funds, are referred to in the bye-laws-laws as “the charges” as a matter of convenience.

Whether GST is payable on raising a Tax Invoice irrespective of payment received.

The Chairman / Secretary, Saket CHS Ltd. Thane. Dear Sirs, Yes, one will need to pay tax even if payment is not received against the GST invoice. The liability of GST arises at the ‘time of supply’. Time of supply in case of supply of goods is “the date of issue of invoice by the supplier or the last date on which he is required to issue the invoice with respect to the supply”. Time of supply in case of supply of services is earlier of below two – The date of issue of invoice by the supplier or the last date on which he is required to issue the invoice with respect to the supply; or The date on which the supplier receives the payment with respect to the supply (i.e., Advance Payment).

Legal provision on whether we can get Input Tax Credit on Repairs and Renovation of Buildings:

The Chairman / Secretary, Saket CHSL, Thane. Dear Sirs, I am giving herewith the legal provision on whether we can get Input Tax Credit on Repairs and Renovation of Buildings: One cannot  take ITC  on repairs and maintenance  work of the society buildings as per the section 17 sub section 5 (d)   of the CGST Act  2017 . If the repair results in capitalization of such expense, then you cannot claim ITC.  If repair is charged to Profit & Loss A/c,  then ITC can be claimed. The above provisions apply only when such repairs are done for business. If repairs are personal in nature, then ITC is ineligible. What does the Law say? Let us read what the law has to say about Section 17(5) Notwithstanding anything that sub-section (1) of section 16 and subsection (1) of section 18 contains, ITC will not be available in respect of the following, namely: motor vehicles and other conveyances apart from when they are used– ...

Whether GST should be charged on your Bus Transport Services.

  Whether GST should be charged on your Bus Transport Services. Bus transport service is a necessity in a city like Thane, where public transport services are poor. We have been receiving queries regarding the new Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is applicable on freight charges involving goods transport agencies (GTA). In the previous law, services provided by GTA (i.e. transport of goods by road service rendered by a GTA) were liable to a service tax on a reverse charge basis, where the person receiving the service was responsible for payment of tax. In the GST regime, the same legal position prevails, but the scope of the tax has been widened. Meaning of GTA GST laws define GTA in  notification no. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017),  which states that, ‘ goods transport agency means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called’. Thus, the transporter must issue a ...

What are the powers of a Managing Committee of a CHS vis-a-vis other sub committee's as per the law:

What are the powers of a Managing Committee of a CHS vis-a-vis other sub committee's as per the law: Our society has for the past 3 years digressing from the provisions of the byelaws and MCS Act which governs it's existence, in every field. Sub committees are set up and they have self proclaimed Conveners. They act like they are replacing the Managing Committee. Actually they have no legal standing and it is the Managing Committee which is supreme. Unfortunately, our office bearers have little or no knowledge of the laws, no experience, only arrogance and they neither consult people who know and are becoming subservient to such over bearing sub committee members. I am listing below - for proper knowledge of all - the functions and powers of the Managing Committee: Subject to the directions given or regulation made in the meeting of the General Body of the society, the committee shall exercise all powers expressly conferred on it and discharge all functions en...
