its good that the builder has alerted you in advance. You have enough time to make good preparation. Get hold of the registered bye-laws of the Society from the Builder. As the Society is just registered the builder would have registered Model 2014 as your society bye laws. For abundant caution obtain that original and if it is as per Model 2014 buy a few copies from Mumbay District Cooperative Housing Federation. It costs Rs 80/-. Compare it with the registered one there will be a few gaps filled in by hand, which ou copy in your set. Make as many sets as the number of members of adhoc committee Go through the same carefully for about a week individually and collectively. Now go to www.indiancooperative.com. In search Hit “2014 You will find one Article.
