Dear Sir,
Is majority approval sufficient?
YES — in law, majority decision binds the minority, subject to safeguards.
Under:
Apartment Ownership Acts (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, etc.)
Cooperative Societies Acts
RERA principles
General law of common areas
Improvements to common amenities can be approved by simple or special majority, depending on bye-laws (usually 2/3rd or 3/4th).
Lift is considered an “improvement” and not a luxury.
