Matunga Extension Building Residents Face Inclusion Hurdles

Imagine you live in a building extension, but your name isn't on the official list, and you're left out of meetings and decisions.

This is happening to residents in Matunga, Mumbai.

They have share certificates but aren't fully included in their housing society.

A legal expert says the society must treat all members equally.

If the society doesn't cooperate, residents can complain to the authorities, who can force the society to include them.

Alternatively, they can vote to split the society into two.

If the managing committee resists, the residents can ask the authorities to intervene and order changes.
