In the next part of the session, Mr. Patil went on to explain the Common mistakes done by the Management Committee members. 

“Do not make cash payments more than Rs. 1500, said Mr. Patil. Another common mistake is not maintaining proper funds for different purposes and giving proper breakup in the invoice to residents.”

He went on to explain the Infringements. These however, vary from state to state. 

Among all states in India, Maharashtra has very well laid out governance and compliances around society accounting and management. They have clear bylaws which the communities are supposed to adhere to. As Maharashtra is the only state having these formally documented compliances, a lot of examples and rules cited were from Maharashtra.

However, according to the experts, these are best practices, which should be followed by all communities in India.

Further details on accounting related compliances and general liabilities of Management Committee members were also discussed in the session.
