Im staying at Mira road in a Building which is 18 years old
1) Having 4 floors, Wing A & Wing B
2) There are 16 flats & 8 shop in each wing.
3) Committe members of society wants to install new lift, bcoz they resides on 3rd & 4th floor,
But ground, first, second & some members of third floor does not require lift.
Earlier in march-2018 they held a emergency meeting to discuss lift issue but that time everybody was against this decision.
Then in sept-2018 there was Annual general Meeting held that time lift topic was not mentioned in agenda.
But inspite of that they mentioned lift topic and decided to have voting for lift issue on paper.
Now the thing is our society committee members are taking signatures from shopkeers / flat owners,
But to get majority they are convincing shop owners that they just have to signed and they will not require to pay any contribution towards lift.
Now my query is whether all the members of society including shopkeepers need to pay the contribution for lift.
If yes, could you please let me know at which Society Act it comes under.

You have to decide in the General Body Meeting in the above matter.
Society of Registration Act 1860 has undergone some changes.
Some states have amended the Act.
Coming to the issue... The Society has to prepare its Bye Laws, Memorandum of Association, Rules and Regulations and governed by this Act.There must be General Body and Governing Body.
If it is passed by General Body means it will be automatically passed by the Governing body.majority will prevail.This is the basic principle.Other important factor is the Society has to be not profit making.
If the Society is making profit it will be treated differently.
