Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I have a flat in Mumbai which I have put on rent. The society has charged me -

1. Non-occupancy charges of 10% of maintenance

2. One time per tenant of Rs. 2000/- with the explaination that this is to --> recover the expense related to the shifting-in and shifting-out of the tenant involving extra use of common facilities such as lift, ware and tare of common area flooring, record keeping, and other administrative expenses.

My question is -

1. Can a society charge the one time per tenant charge which is not bylaw?

2. As I understand - The explaination given to me for one time per tenant charge is the very reason why Non-Occupancy charges is levied. Kindly clarify.

These are small amounts and if every one is paying, do not make an issue out of it.
