Lift Repairs and Maintenance

The document discusses lift (elevator) repairs, maintenance, and running expenses for a housing society. It states that the expenses must be contributed by all members of the building, whether they use the lift or not. Running expenses include electricity and liftmen salaries. If liftmen are permanent employees of the society, their salaries can be shared equally among all members. Otherwise, lift running should be contracted out to avoid disputes about charges for members in buildings without lifts. Major running expenses like electricity must be accounted for separately and not as general electricity charges.

_Lift Repairs and Maintenance


The expenses for Repairs and Maintenance of the lift as well as running expenses of the
lift has to be contributed by the Members in the particular building of the society,
irrespective of whether any Member in that building uses the facility or not.
Lift running expenses include the electricity expenses as well as liftmen expenses for
operating the lift. If the liftmen are permanent employee of the Society the expenses
may be accounted as salaries to employees, which will result into sharing such expenses
by all the Members of the Society equally, under the heading of Services Charges. As
such care should be taken by the Managing Committee that only when there is a
common pool of liftmen for all the lifts in the Society such expenses should be arranged
as employee salaries as a matter of better planning. Otherwise, expenses should be
arranged under contractual assignment for running the lifts under contract as a better
option. This will also mitigate the cause of disputes about collecting charges from the
Members in a building, where there are no lifts, etc.
Major expenses of running lift are the electricity charges such electricity charges must
be accounted as a part of running expenses and not as common charges of electricity
for the Society.
