Mumbai Housing Society Queries: Nomination Rights and Quota Seats

Mumbai Housing Society Queries: Nomination Rights and Quota Seats

In Mumbai housing societies, members can nominate one or more people to inherit their shares and rights.

The order of nomination doesn't matter; all nominees get equal rights unless specified otherwise.

If a society doesn't have members from reserved categories like SC/ST or women, those seats in the managing committee stay empty.

General category members can't fill these quota seats.

The legal expert also explained that nominees become provisional members after the member's death, but the legal heirs get the final rights.
