The rules should have been announced within a year of being finalised, say experts

The much-awaited Maharashtra Co-operative Housing Societies (MCHS) Rules will likely see the light of day by the end of March this year. After much brainstorming, senior bureaucrats, senior officials of the cooperative department and members of state housing bodies have chalked out the rules, which are nearly ready for release. With the Maharashtra Co-operative Housing Societies Act (Amended) having been introduced on March 9, 2019, its rules for implementation should have been introduced within six months to a year. According to experts, this has adversely affected the functioning of housing cooperatives.

New chapter introduced

Advocate Shreeprasad Parab, expert director, Maharashtra State Housing Federation Ltd., who was among those present at a meeting in Mantralaya, said, “Maharashtra has over 1,25,000 cooperative housing societies, which is nearly 50 per cent of the societies in the state. Hence, a chapter (Chapter XIII-B) was introduced in 2019 for managing housing societies in the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The new chapter has many benefits, but its provisions cannot be implemented without requisite rules. The Maharashtra State Co-operative Housing Societies Federation had been following up with the state government to publish the MCHS Rules.”
