In a bold move to recover unpaid maintenance dues, the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of Uppal Southend in Gurugram, Haryana, publicly named residents who had defaulted on their payments. This initiative, which began in early March, has led to the recovery of ₹15 lakh (approximately $18,000 USD) out of a total of ₹45 lakh in outstanding dues. The RWA displayed the names on a prominent yellow board outside the main gate, warning that services such as food deliveries and domestic help would be suspended until payments were made. According to RWA general secretary Anil Anand, over 40% of the residents listed have settled their dues, largely due to social pressure within the community. The RWA's approach has garnered attention from other RWAs in Gurugram and cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, with many seeking to replicate the strategy. While some restrictions on services have been relaxed, defaulters still face exclusion from community events. However, some residents have raised concerns about the adequacy of security services they are paying for, arguing that they are not receiving the level of security promised. Despite these complaints, Anand insists that the maintenance charges, ranging from ₹1,100 to ₹1,350 per month, are justified given the amenities provided.
