Karnataka apartment bill proposes federations to resolve association management disputes

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The Karnataka Apartment (Ownership and Management) Bill, 2026, proposes federations to resolve disputes between multiple associations in the same apartment complex over common areas and maintenance charges.
The draft, presented by the Urban Development Department in July, sets out a legal framework for forming, registering, and running such federations, particularly for large or multi-phase projects.
Federations must be registered with the UDD, which must issue a certificate within 60 days if the application complies with the Act and RERA guidelines; existing federations will be deemed constituted under the new law.
Maintenance expenses for shared facilities will be apportioned among member associations based on their share of the total Super Built-up Area.
