Mumbai Society Rules on CCTV and Property Transfers

In Mumbai, there are rules about how properties can be transferred and how CCTV cameras can be installed in housing societies.

If someone gives their share of a flat to another person through a gift deed, the society can only charge a transfer fee and not an admission fee because no new member is being added.

For CCTV cameras, the society and all members must approve their installation.

If a tenant installs a CCTV camera without permission, it can be seen as invading the privacy of other residents, which is against the law.

The Supreme Court has said that privacy is a fundamental right, and cameras should not be installed without everyone's agreement.

If there is an objection, the CCTV should be removed or proper permission should be sought.
