You might live in a housing society, RWAs where the society charges a separate user charge for using the amenities like swimming pool, gym, etc. If this happens then note that it is not illegal to charge a separate amenity fee for using the pool, hym etc but only if certain legal conditions are followed. This article is specifically about this aspect and how to know if the user charges levied by a RWA or housing society is bad in law or not.
According to the law, an Apartment Owners Association, RWA, or a housing society can levy separate charges for use of facilities like gyms, swimming pools or clubhouses, as long as these charges are backed by the Deed of Declaration, bye-laws or properly adopted rules of the Association.
