Mohali Employees Cooperative House Building Society (MECO), Sector 68 | 2 & 3 BHK Flats
Located in the highly accessible Sector 68 of Mohali, the MECO Cooperative Society is a well-established residential project that has been home to families since its completion in 2005. Spread across 15 low-rise blocks of four stories each, the society offers 240 straightforward, practical dwelling units. The standout feature of MECO is undoubtedly its prime location. Residents are within walking distance of the local Sector 68 market, prominent healthcare facilities like Fortis Hospital, and major transit routes, making day-to-day living incredibly convenient. The society grounds are peaceful, featuring internal parks, a local Gurdwara and Mandir, and a secured, CCTV-monitored gated environment.
However, as a real estate consultant who has toured these units extensively, I always advise my clients to set their expectations accordingly. Because the society is nearly two decades old, it completely lacks the modern resort-style amenities—like luxury clubhouses, swimming pools, or smart-home integrations—that you would find in newer Mohali developments. The architecture is decidedly dated, and if you are purchasing a unit here, you should absolutely factor in the cost of a full interior upgrade, particularly for older plumbing and kitchen layouts. Furthermore, parking can occasionally feel congested, as the original 2005 layout didn't fully account for the multiple-car households common today.
If you are looking for flash and premium modern luxury, this isn't the project for you. But if your priority is finding a structurally sound, deeply rooted community in a prime, central Mohali location at a more accessible price point, MECO offers undeniable foundational value.

Investment FAQ
There is a section for 'Outstanding Maintenance Charges' on MECO's own website - how serious is this?
It is serious enough that the society maintains a public record of it. Maintenance arrears are a documented, ongoing issue in MECO. Before buying, ask the seller for a written dues clearance certificate specifically issued by the MECO management committee - not just the seller's assurance. The outstanding dues on a flat transfer to the new owner if not cleared at the time of sale. Verify independently with the MECO office (mecosec68@gmail.com, 0172-4002056).
What is the difference between Category-A and Category-B flats?
Category-A units are 1,489 sq ft - effectively 3 BHK. Category-B units are 1,155 sq ft - effectively 2 BHK. There are 216 Category-A units and only 24 Category-B units. Category-B units are rarer, smaller, and typically priced lower. Confirm which category you are buying in writing before any payment - the price difference is significant.
There was a news report about a garbage dump being placed near MECO flats - is that still an issue?
Yes, this was a real and reported incident. The Municipal Corporation placed a garbage collection point near the residential flats in Sector 68, triggering a formal resident complaint campaign. Local news outlets covered it. The residents approached the Joint Commissioner and the area MLA. Whether the specific dump point was shifted is not confirmed in current data. Visit the society at different times of day and check the perimeter near the gates before deciding.
PUDA allotted the land - does that mean the title is cleaner than a private developer project?
Generally yes. PUDA-allotted land with a registered cooperative society and a documented allotment memo (PUDA/A-4/2000/84 dated 22-03-2000) gives a traceable title chain that most nationalised banks accept comfortably for home loans. It also reduces the risk of disputed land ownership. That said, PUDA allotment is not a substitute for verifying the individual flat's share certificate and the society's own records.
Are all 15 blocks equally well-maintained or are some blocks better than others?
MECO has 15 blocks and management quality within a cooperative society can vary block-by-block depending on the floor's residents and their engagement with the RWA. Residents close to the main gate tend to report better maintenance response. Ask specifically about the block and floor you are considering, and ideally speak with a current resident in that block before buying.
Is the SBI branch inside the campus or just nearby?
The SBI branch with ATM is not inside the MECO campus - it is in close proximity to the society entrance in the Sector 68 vicinity. The MECO website refers to it as 'nearby.' For daily banking it is effectively walkable.
