Can housing societies stop Amazon, Zomato, Swiggy and other online apps from delivering to residents for non-payment of society maintenance dues?

Housing societies cannot block online deliveries like Amazon or Zomato for unpaid maintenance dues. Legal experts clarify that such actions interfere with residents' normal use of their homes and are not permitted. Societies must follow statutory procedures and their bye-laws for recovery, which may include interest, penalties, or legal action, but not restricting essential services.
