Monthly society fees are one thing; long-term maintenance is another. Buildings need painting, lift overhauls, pump replacements, roof repairs. If there’s no proper maintenance fund or plan, residents suddenly get hit with big one-time charges when something major fails.

Asking, “Society ke paas sinking fund ya maintenance reserve hai kya? Future repairs ke liye kya plan hai?” gives you a picture of financial health. A building that plans ahead, even with small regular contributions, usually handles big jobs more smoothly and fairly.

If the answer is vague or defensive, you may be walking into a place where big surprises are waiting—just not in a fun way.
