Independent, plain-English help for societies in redevelopment.
Plinth exists because the people with the most at stake in a redevelopment - the members of a cooperative housing society - are usually the least equipped with clear, unbiased information.
What we publish
Redevelopment is a long, legally dense process. Builders have lawyers, consultants and experience. Most managing committees have a day job and a WhatsApp group. We try to close that gap with three things: explainers that assume no prior knowledge, calculators that turn a pitch into checkable numbers, and templates a committee can actually use.
Everything is filed against the eight stages of the redevelopment journey, so you can read exactly what is in front of your society right now - not a generic overview.
Who writes it
Plinth is a knowledge initiative led by CA Juilee Palande of J. S. Palande & Co., Chartered Accountants, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is educational, independent, and not a marketing channel: we don't take builder referrals and we don't recommend specific developers.
What this is not
Editorial, not legal or financial advice. Consult your own advisors before deciding.Redevelopment decisions carry real financial and legal consequences, and every society's facts differ. Use Plinth to ask better questions - then take the specifics to your own professional advisors and your project management consultant.
