  "summary": "The Karnataka Apartment (Ownership and Management) Bill, 2026 proposes the formation of federations to resolve disputes among multiple associations within apartment complexes. This new legislation aims to provide a legal framework for the creation, registration, and operation of federations, particularly for large complexes and multi-phase developments. By creating a higher-level body responsible for managing shared infrastructure, the Bill aims to address issues such as the allocation of maintenance charges and the oversight of common areas, which have been a long-standing problem in many apartment complexes. The Bill also specifies the roles and responsibilities of promoters and outlines the registration process, which must be completed within 60 days of submission.",
