Legal Clarification: 2019 MCS Act Amendment (Section 154B-1(18))
Under the historic Maharashtra Housing Society Amendment Act (Chapter XIII-B), the definition of an Associate Member has been significantly widened. Now, an Associate Member means a husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, nephew or niece of the member who holds the shares jointly with the member on written consent. Even if their name is not in the registered sale deed, they can become an Associate Member with the first member's consent and recommendation!
