Split society maintenance head-by-head between landlord and tenant, with the 10% non-occupancy charge cap checked.
The Maintenance Charge Split Calculator divides a housing society bill head by head between the flat owner and the tenant, then reports each side's monthly and annual total. It uses the heads of charge listed in Bye-law 68 of the Model Bye-laws for Co-operative Housing Societies — property tax, water, common electricity, repair fund, sinking fund, service charges, lift, parking, non-occupancy, insurance, lease rent and the education fund — with an editable landlord percentage for every head. It also checks non-occupancy charges against the 10%-of-service-charges ceiling.

There is no statute that fixes it — the rent or leave and licence agreement decides. The usual convention is that the owner bears ownership costs (property tax, sinking fund, repair fund, non-occupancy charges, building insurance, lease rent) while the occupant bears usage costs (water, common electricity, service charges, lift, parking).
Non-occupancy charges cannot exceed 10% of the service charges, excluding municipal taxes. That ceiling comes from the Government of Maharashtra circular dated 1 August 2001 and was upheld by the Bombay High Court; societies elsewhere follow the bye-laws their own registrar has approved.
The sinking fund is a long-term corpus for eventual reconstruction, collected at a minimum of 0.25% per year of the construction cost of each flat. The repairs and maintenance fund pays for routine and periodic repairs and is collected at a minimum of 0.75% per year of construction cost. Both are contributions to the building's capital, so they normally stay with the owner.
Yes. The society's member is the owner, so it can recover every head from the owner and treat any recovery from the tenant as a private arrangement. That is why the split should be written into the tenancy agreement with the amount for each head, not just a single figure. For a disputed head, take legal advice.
