Which state Societies Act, Rules and B/L are you referring to? In Maharashtra, maintenance charges are equally divided irrespective of area of flat because these are collected for common expenses such as external lighting, security, garden, repair and maintenance of common areas, garbage collection, lift maintenance etc. The courts have held that even persons occupying flats on the ground floor have to pay equally for lift maintenance even though they may rarely use the lift. Major Repairs are charged according to area and Taxes are levied as per area. Please check your bye laws again.

I don't know what you mean by "By-law 69a" that is just part of your building association's rules.
Common-area maintainance is a sometimes a problem. The charges are based on the size of your rental or condo's square footage. If all the units are the same size, then every tennent pays the same ammount. If there are empty units, then your share of the bill will be larger because there are fewer people to divide up the cost.
The most important thing to remember about common-area maintaince is that any money collect for that must be used specificly for that. Painting the entire building (or all the buildings) is fine, painting just a few parts, is not.
