Point No. 1: Area wise Contribution:

Repair & Maintenance Charges: First need to determine the construction cost of your locality,
let us assume @ 800/ - Sq Ft then formula would be:

Construction Cost x .75% x Flat Area / 12 = Member Monthly Repair Fund

Ex: 800 x .75% x 524

---------------------- = 262

Sinking Fund: Let us take the same scenario as above the only % would be .25, then the formula will be for sinking fund as following

Construction Cost x .25% x Flat Area / 12 = Member Monthly Sinking Fund

Ex: 800 * .25% * 524

----------------------- = 87

Point No – 2: Equal Contribution (Service Charge / Maintenance Charge)

Equal contribution calculation is very easy you need to calculate all service charges as
mentioned above and divide to no. of members.

For Ex. Number of Flats: 30

Lower rate as may be fixed by the General Body, on the outstanding dues to the Society,

From the Date the amount was due as prescribed under Bye-law no. 70(a), till full and

Final payment by the Member.

Point No – 5: Water Charges Calculation Bye-Laws – 67(a) (2)

It is very difficult to calculate where flats area different like 1 BHK, 2BHK & 3 BHK. If flats
area are equal so can charge equal on every flat but in case of different need to charge inlet
basis. Here the example is given below how to calculate water charges:

First of all, need to identify monthly water charge & total no of inlets, then calculate as follows

Monthly per Inlet Charge = monthly water charge/ no of inlets

Ex: Monthly Expenses on the water is 10000 and total no of inlets (all flats) 88

Monthly per Inlet Charge = 10000/88

= 114

Let us assume 1 BHK has 3 inlets & 2 BHK has 4 inlets

So water charge on 1 BHK will be Rs 342 and 2 BHK will be Rs 456
