Hundreds of residents of Amrapali Golf Homes and Kingswood housing societies in Greater Noida West have launched a major protest and rally against alleged misuse and irregularities in the maintenance fund, accusing the society administration of corruption, lack of transparency, and financial mismanagement.
The protest, described as peaceful but forceful, reflects growing anger among allottees over millions of rupees in maintenance charges that they claim were spent without their consent or proper accounting. The residents have also criticised the conduct of the governing committee and raised questions about the involvement of the ad hoc Association of Apartment Owners (AOA).

Residents Demand Transparency After Annual Meeting Turns Contentious
The controversy began following the General Body Meeting (GBM) held on January 18, 2026. At that meeting, residents demanded a detailed account of how the society’s maintenance funds were being used by the ad hoc AOA. When questions were raised regarding expenditures and financial transparency, the president of the AOA allegedly responded with abusive language and insults to residents who sought explanations.
Outraged by the behavior of the committee head and the refusal to present a financial statement, all residents present at the meeting passed a resolution to dissolve the ad hoc AOA and replace it with a group that would be accountable and transparent. Despite this democratic decision, the aggrieved residents allege that the ad hoc committee continues to function illegally with the support of the Court Receiver’s office, making arbitrary decisions and ignoring the collective will of the community.
Protest Rally With Drums, Strong Warnings Issued
Following the breakdown in trust, society residents — led by community leaders including Lokendra and Amarnath — took out a procession with dhols and nagadas (traditional drums) within the society. The demonstrations were aimed at drawing attention to what they describe as a “Scam of maintenance funds worth crores” and a system that operates without accountability.
The protesters warned that their movement was not directed against any individual person, but against corruption, arbitrary governance, and a lack of transparency in the society’s financial affairs. They stressed that unless the Court Receiver’s office and the ad hoc AOA improve their conduct, provide full audited accounts of the maintenance funds, and restore residents’ rights, the agitation would intensify — including bigger rallies, demonstrations, and sit-ins outside the Court Receiver’s office in the coming days.
Allegations: Millions Spent Without Consent
Residents claim that crores of rupees collected from them as maintenance charges over the past years were spent without proper approval or scrutiny. They are also upset that despite repeated requests, no transparent, audited account statement has been shared, leading to suspicion about possible financial impropriety.
According to the protesters, the ad hoc committee’s continued functioning — allegedly with the complicity of the Court Receiver — violates the democratic decisions made in the General Body Meeting. They have accused the committee of taking arbitrary decisions and ignoring established procedures in managing society funds.
Residents’ Demand: Fair Audit and Responsible Governance
The residents have made clear demands during the protest:
- Complete and transparent accounting of all maintenance fund receipts and expenditures.
- Dissolution of the current ad hoc AOA and formation of a new, elected governing body.
- Restoration of residents’ rights and oversight over decisions affecting society funds.
- A fair and impartial audit of all financial transactions going back several years.
Protest leaders have warned that if their legitimate demands are not met, they will escalate the struggle further — including staging protests directly outside the Court Receiver’s office and seeking legal remedies to enforce accountability.
