There are many later who wish to change their lifestyle and move into an apartment, an era that makes most self-sufficient in relation to work, shopping malls, and many more. This is not only limited to the location but more importantly, what the residents of the apartment benefit from The very first advantage of living in an apartment is the car parking spaces. The availability of such lots in the basement is a plus for the residents as it helps them avoid the hustle of looking for a parking place.

However, every advantage has a corresponding limitation and restrictions and so also in car parking.
Importance of Car Parking Rules in the Apartment
One of the most vital issues for any new homeowner today is the car parking spaces available in the building, especially dwellings that stretch into the sky. People might encounter problems here and there without acceptable parking policies, which result in disagreements among the occupants of a unit. However, with adequate parking bylaws, that are overseen by the management committee formed in accordance with the Societies Registration Act No. 21 of 1860, enables the residents above this issue.
Introduction to the Residential Welfare Association (RWA)
The Residential Welfare Association (RWA) is a type of non governmental organization which works towards the improvement of the residents and the community as a whole. The creation of an RWA becomes a requirement when 2/3 of the flats or apartments in a housing society are booked and needs to be formed within three months as per the orders of the RERA (Real Estate regulatory authority) act. They consist of a committee which is regulated under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, so residents should contact these councils with their problems and not about parking only.

Car Parking Laws in India
The RERA Act extends to rules related to parking for apartments in India as well, for there are provisions that do allow builders to sell parts of garage spaces, namely the covered garage, as the restriction, however, does not extend to charges for open spaces or communal services such as lobby, staircase and garden. These areas stand owned by the society once registered and the Occupation Certificate OC is procured from the municipal corporation. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs requires two equivalent car spaces ECS for every 100 m2 of built up area of dwelling unit. This makes it possible to have one car space for every three 3 BHK unit and two for every four 4 BHK units. The parking space is mostly determined by the Development Control Regulations of each state at the same time the general trend has been for all builders to provide parking space.
