Report Illegal Relocation
Housing societies and RWAs sometimes attempt to forcibly relocate community animals or pressure pet owners to remove their animals — this is regulated, not a matter of society discretion. SAS India can act on your behalf.
What Counts as Relocation
- Forced removal or dumping of community animals outside the society premises
- RWA resolutions attempting to ban or relocate animals without due process
- Relocation carried out without the required local-authority involvement
- Threats or pressure against residents who feed or shelter community animals
Legal Basis
Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023
Community animals may not be relocated or removed by a housing society without following the prescribed process through the local authority.
State Co-operative Societies Act
Governs what a managing committee can and cannot resolve unilaterally — relevant when a society tries to force relocation by internal resolution alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a housing society legally relocate community animals?
Not unilaterally. Relocation of community animals is governed by the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 and requires the local authority's involvement — a society resolution alone doesn't authorize it.
What can I do if my RWA is pressuring me to remove my pet?
Document the communication (notices, messages, resolutions) and file a complaint — SAS India can issue a legal warning notice to the society on your behalf.
