The Housing Societies are allowed to frame their own parking rules. This is to restrict non-members from parking inside the society premises. The rule of thumb is that no member will be eligible for allotment of more than one stilt / covered parking space per flat. If any slots remain vacant for want of applicants, which is sometimes the case for open parking; a second parking space may be allotted to interested members. This procedure is supposed to be followed on an annual basis, provided the empty slots are not required by a member who is yet to bag even one designated parking space. Let us have detailed know-how about various types of car parking and its rules.
