Bye-law No. 159
Insurance, disaster plan, child labour and widows
Summary
Insuring the building against natural calamities, fire, flood, earthquake and third-party liability is mandatory. The Committee prepares an emergency plan (risks, response agencies, emergency numbers), discusses it at the general meeting and displays it. Employing child labour is an offence (1 year jail / Rs. 20,000 fine) — awareness must be created. Before transferring a deceased member's flat, verify nomination, succession certificate or probated will so no injustice is done to a widow.
