    What is the procedure for RERA to approve service charge budgets?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Management Entity is prohibited from collecting any amounts for property maintenance without first obtaining RERA's approval. To gain this approval, the Service Charges or Usage Charges budget must be verified and ratified by a certified audit firm recognised by RERA. This rigorous oversight ensures that the fees requested from owners are fair, accurate, and based on actual operational needs. If a budget is delayed, RERA may approve a temporary budget to ensure the building�s essential services are not interrupted.
