  3. Dear Pardeshi, Firstly remember that it is duty of the buyer and seller of the flat to transfer the Share certificate on the buyer name. If they come after 10 year then it is not Society fault.You should CHECK that owner is take the NOC from society and paid Transfer Premium to Society. If not inform him/her in Written on Society Latter head to take the NOC from society and inform him/her about Transfer Premium what he/she suppose to pay as decide by AGM of Society for his/her flat transfer. Take Rupees 600/- [Rs. 500/ for transfer charge + Rs. 100/- for new member membership charge] along with Transfer Premium. Go through the check list for transfer of flat after resale post on this blog. if all document is as per check list then transfer this flat to new owner name.

  5. you first have to submit the document to MC of Society if they refuse your transfer or did not inform you any thing about your transfer in 3 months then apply for Deemed membership at Registrar office. But first you have to approach to MC of Society you can not submit directly to Registrar of Society.

  10. In normal terms or in simple language Transfer Fees is process charge/fees. Transfer Premium is premium for that share certificate OR extra charge for that share certificate from the face value paid by person. For fees maximum it is Rs. 500/- for premium it is Rs. 25,000/-

  12. My maternal grandmother, (Nani) and myself are equal (50% each) owners of a flat after the death of my maternal gandfather (nana), through the nomination process.

    Now my grandmother, who is 91 years has gifted me 50% of her share in the flat through a Registered Gift Deed.

    The Society is asking a premium of Rs. 25,000 to transfer her 50% to me, that would make me 100% owner of the flat?

    Do I need to make payment of this 25,000 to the Society as per bye laws? Does that fact that we are related or the fact she has nominated me for her portion of the share at the time of her death, make any difference,whereby I can avoid paying the Society the premium on transfer of her 50% of the shares to me.

    Also we are both existing members of the Society as we are each 50% owners of the flat.

    Please advise.

  13. No you donot have to pay Rs. 25,000/- premium charges for transfer of share in your name as per bye laws No. xxv and bye laws No.38 NOTE.
    You have to follow the following process :-
    Make covering letter addressing to secretary saying that you are now 100% owner as per the gift deed and attacheing the following copy of gift deed , transfer set all forms [this available on the blog] along with cheque of Rs. 500/- as transfer charges. You do not have to pay membership charges of Rs. 100/- as you are already member. Take the acknowledgement of secretary that on xerox copy of covering letter. And waite for their reply ask them to give written reply if in 3 months they do not give reply file application in Deputy registrar of C.S. for transfer of Share. attached acknowledgement copy xerox with application. Registrar will transfer the share on your name.

    1. Thanks for your response. The society has not issued the Shares Certificate yet as it has been newly formed. Should i wait for them to issue it in the name of the First owner?

    2. If Share certificate is not issue yet and if you buy the flat before the society registration date/ Registration certificate issued date then Share Certificate is issued directly in your name. For eg. If say society Registration date i.e. Registration Certificate issued date is 17/12/2013 and if you have buy flat on 16/12/2013 then Share Certificate is issue directly in your name. you do not have to pay transfer fees.

  21. Dy. Registrar of C.S. will take hearing in which both you and society has to present and he/she pass the order that society has to transfer the Share Certificate after hearing the both side. For filing case you have to submit the copy of acknowledgement given by society that they received transfer paper and if any other written committion done by society and you regarding the transfer along with copy of your agreement.

    1. Hi Visariya, Today i attended first hiring. Dy. Registar said that you can not file case under U/S 23(2) since you don't have proof that you have given application to society and also don't have proof that society has rejected your application. Society hire advocate and Dy. Register only hearing him only. Society Advocate claim that I have created illegal construct.

    2. It shows that after submission of documents along with transfer set you have not taken sign from society that society received this documents. Regarding illegal construction society has to fill case in municipal authority or in civil court. registrar can not do any things about this.

  25. Sir,

    I have purchased a flat in a residential building. The secretary of the society has asked me to produce an affidavit stating the purpose of the flat use. Is this compulsory to be provided under any law before the society can make the owner a member and if not what should be my recourse.

    The secretary says that he will be demanding such an affidavit from all the members of the society.

    Since I am not a member yet, technically how can i give an affidavit before the society makes me a member. I guess only members can provide an affidavit. Also it should be voluntary and not a compulsory document to be provided.

  26. Firstly, sorry for late reply as I am on vacation.
    I assume that you have purchased flat in resale [not from builder directly]. In resale flat you have to submit the copy of agreement and transfer set along with original sharge certificate which include all required forms and affadivate. The link for transfer set is as follow.

  28. No. It is not written any MCS Act 1960 and Rule 1961 to produce Legal Opinion of Document to transfer a share certificate. So it is not compulsory to produce this. Ask Secretary to give it to you in writting on society letter head. If he give this then make complaint in Dy. Registrar C.S. Office.

I would like to state that the seller has encroached his residence which is in a row house system. Before giving NOC I requested the Chairman before giving NOC the seller has to restore his residence as per original sanctioned plan. The chairman said this is our procedure we are giving NOC only after removing the cement sheet. I told him I am not going to sign NOC till he restore original structure. pls adivse

  31. Hello Sir,
    I have purchased a resale flat, while purchasing society was asking both side transfer fee 25000 + 25000,
    We refused to pay both side and some how we paid 25000(seller side) & commited to chairman that will pay 8000 from buyer side when come for member registration,
    So Society issued us NOC required for bank loan and we proceed with Sale agreement & registration deed and paid all registration & stamp duty amount.

    Now after 2 months later i have came to society and asked them to process my membership in society, but now MC asking me to pay 25000 as transfer fee, which does not seems ethical for me as the transfer fee of 25000 already paid by seller & i am ready to pay 8000 for society fund, but as going through your blog i noticed that if i paid sale deed/sale registration fee & stamp duty than i need not to pay transfer fee(25000), is it true please guide, also plz clear if its required to be paid by both parties(seller & buyer).

    Thanks

    1. Sir,
      In this reply you mention that Transfer fees can be paid by Buyer OR Seller OR by both in equal proportion.
      Is there any law / regulation which states this?

      A model bye-law in Mumbai suggests that the transfer fees and Premium are to be paid by Transferor.
      Can you please point out if it is mentioned somewhere (online resource?) that the onus of payment of Transfer related charges can be with either of the parties and that it is mainly on the mutual understanding.

      Delete
    2. As per law it has to pay by Transferor. Society will issue receipt on Transferor name. But on mutual understanding both Buyer and Seller pay 50% each. This is now a days normal process follow now a days.

      Transfer Premium shall not apply to transfers of shares and interest, of the transferor in the capital/property of the society to the member of his family or to his nominee or his heir/legal representative after his death and in case of mutual exchange of flats amongst the members

    2. Does the family clause also apply if a person wants to sell the flat to his father in law or mother in law? We have a case where a member is selling his flat to his father in law and hence says that he does not have to pay the transfer premium. Also his father in law holds another flat in the society already so he claims this as another reason to not pay the premium.

  39. Dear Sir, Another issue is last year we (actually made mistake) 12 CHS formed Federation so that common issues Club House, Festivals etc can be handled by common team. But, the game became dirty when federation started taking everyone granted. The communication / verbal language changed to worst. Few people started taking wild decision this is going on. As this is non Cooperating Society (Federation), can they force us to follow what they (few people) decide. They are forcing to have conveyance on Federation name rather than society. They started charging on common parking, They are not sharing income and expense. Despite the registrar representative instructions, they freezed the MC for 5 years. Bylaws were not discussed with any one yet but given to registrar. They says Chairman of Federation is authorised to spend 1 lacs INR without approval of committee. We tried to form (rebel team) to make things transparent but they literally fought in AGM. Proxy were asked to leave the meeting. Can you suggest remedy to overcome or can we as society be withdraw the membership from Federation. PLEASE, need your expert opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Firstly It is surprise for me that without reading Federation Bye-Laws your society sign that and Federation is registered. Now you want copy of Federation Bye-Laws and audit report copy then you can ask under RTI Act-2005 to Dy. Registrar of C.S. THANE to give Certified True Copy of your Federation Bye-Laws & Audit Report copy. All decision for celebrating different festivals ,use of club house etc and all expense has first approved in Monthly Meeting of Working Committee of Federation then in AGM of Federation. Regarding authorisation of Chairman for Rs. 1 Lakh is it written in Federation Bye-Laws ? For proxy you have to go through provision of bye-laws.
    If you want to withdraw membership from federation then write application to both DDR, Thane & Dy. Registrar of C.S. THANE for the same. Since they have the power to approve your withdrawal of membership.

    i purchased ownership premises during 2013 March. submitted all transer doc. along with 25000 chq original share certificate, which society has admitted in their letter. office original indenture contains two names but share certificate carries only one name. hence we made share holder as seller and other party as confirming party and it is regd doc. now after 7 months the society is saying after rigorous followup, not possible to transfer because we have not made the second person as seller. they are asking me for the indemnity bonds. pl advice. thanks and regrds

  45. If society asking indemnity bond and then transfer the share then you can do that. But in my advise is that you have made mistake. Make correction deed and change confirming party as seller so that you can get clear title of flat elae in future you may get trouble to rise loan or selling flat

  46. Dear Sir,

    My siblings and I are nominees on my deceased mother's flat. We would like to submit the application for transfer of flat to our names. However the application states that the Affidivats and Non-Indemnity letters be submitted on stamp papers of Rs. 100/200. We live outside India and do not have access to these papers. If we notorize the papers here either through an Indian Consulate or via a public notary and have the Consulate attest those papers, will the housing society accept such authorities or will be still required to submit the letters on non-judicial stamp papers. Thank you very much for your response.

    1. You have to give affidivate and indemnity bond on stamp paper with duly notorize. You have one options ask your advocate or friend to type the format on legal size paper and frank it for Rs. 100/200 stamp duty and send it to you then you can notorize it through public notory or consulate and send back to society

  63. HI,

    I have purchased a resale flat in 2013. Have obtained NOC from Builder as society was not formed by that time. Builder had confirmed to HDFC that he will inform the society as and when formed about flat being mortgaged.
    Society was formed couple of months later. I have been following up with society to trasnfer the shares in my name since I have all documents prior to society formation.
    Society is debating that I need to pay INR 25000 since there is no evidence that I had requested the builder to include my name in share certificates during society formation.
    The society claims that first owners name is present on share certificates but not providing any evidence of the same
    Let me know what is correct process and do I need to pay any transfer charges

In that format it is written that builder has to inform the Society or any other legal entity that your said flat is mortgage in HDFC. Ask your HDFC relationship person he/she will give you photo copy of NOC.

    I am staying in a CHS. Our flat is in the name of my husband and my father in law. We are the second owners of the flat. We took a loan from ICICI bank and the first owner of the flat had the loan form ICICI only. At that time, we completed all the paper work and the papers of the flat were mortgaged with the bank. Now, we want to sell our flat since it is 1bhk and we want ot buy 2 bhk and we have come to know that the share certificate of the flat are still in the name of the first owner and have not been transferred in our name. We have been paying EMIs for more than 5 years now and the bank is denying the transfer of share certificate in our name stating that we have to get a letter from the society. The society has also denied issuance of the letter and now we are left with no where to go. Please advise as to what can be done to rectify that since we have been staying in the society for more than 5 years. Please please please advise.

    1. First understand that Agent / buyer has inform you previously before finalise your deal that he/she will take loan and he/she required Society NOC.

      In society C/S/T are not paid employee who will work according to your time.

      For NOC minimum 7 days required. For issuing NOC for sale society has to check is their any due , is their any loan unpaid on the flat, is their any court case. You have not taken NOC for sale and you want NOC for loan in 1 or 2 days ? Why you have type NOC for loan. It is C/S/T duty to do that. It is not harassment.

      Frankly If i have secretary of your society i simply inform you first take NOC for Sale after that i will issued NOC for Loan. for each NOC minimum 7 days required.

  95. One of our Member sold his flat in 2008 without informing the society. The New owner paid the transfer charges in 2010 and society issued the receipt in original owners name. Now in 2015 new owner submitted the agreement copy, stamp duty paid receipt copy and transfer forms and share certificate from which we can make out that the same as been registered in 2008. The signature of the original owner on the transfer forms submitted doesn't tally and it looks like signature have been forged. Society tried to contact the original owner and he is not traceable. Even now all bills and receipts society issues in the original owners name and new buyer not objected to this in these 6 long years. Now our query is How the society can process the application after 6 long years and Also the owners signature on the consent letter as well as other transfer documents doesn't tally?

    1. This is totally in efficient work done by society managing committee [MC]. The following are the reason for that
      1. When new owner paid transfer charges in 2010 which is accept by society MC. Then why at that time MC not ask for other documents ?
      2. Is society have authority to match the signature of buyer and seller ?
      3. Your auditor also not report this in audit remark that Transfer charges taken but no document taken/received ?

      Now to transfer this following step to be done.
      1. Take indemnity Bound on Rs. 200/- stamp paper and duly notary ask new owner to write all sign of buyer and seller are original
      2. Put this transfer in AGM for approval. After approval transfer the share certificate

      Give letter to new owner regarding this transfer to submit the above document.

Attorney i have not given her rights for (Sale/Assignment/Transfer) & without of my knowledge she make a gift deed for his 50 % share to her another son and submitted to society for transfer, please let me know the transfer is possible without my interaction.

    Note:-i have ask to other many society,lawyer & also estate agent they said interaction is taking place so must your NOC required for transfer the 50 % share of your mother.

    Thanks & Regards

    1. No. Your interaction / NOC is not required since your mother has given her share i.e. 50% share in total flat. She can do any transaction with her share. since she is earn by her. It is her property.

    2. Thanks Visariya,

      But what about P.A rights which i have not given her for (Sale/Assignment/Transfer) and the P.A is still active & register, also there was a loan on my name 1st (owner) which is still active and going to finish soon, & also the share is not earn buy her.

      Thanks & Regards

      Delete
    3. P.A rights given by you to your mother is for your share i.e. 50 % share of flat. Loan taken by you has to repay by you only. How you can proved that share is not earn by your mother when in agreement 2 names written then share is earn by both 50% [if no percentage of share written in share certificate ]

      Delete
    4. Again Thanks

      So what will be my role to support my mother to transfer her 50% share in society... which document i have to sign to complete the transfer.

      Regards

    5. You have not to sign any document. Since you have not sale your share. Your mother has sale his share.

  97. Dear Mr. Visariya,
    We have 3 different type of Property in our Society. 1BHK, 3BHK & Shops. Society is charging different Transfer charges as Rs.7,500 for 1BHK, Rs.20,000 for 3BHK & Rs.25,000 for Shops. Is it right to charge different Transfer charges like this. If not, pls advise Under which Section of Bye Laws this is prohibited.

    1. Maximum Transfer Premium is Rs. 25,000/-. Society can charge on square feet basis. IF your society charges different charges for different size of property it is good. But it has to approved by AGM and proper resolution has to be recorded

    2. Dear Mr. Visariya,

      i read on some advisor’s Web page where he said Rule u/s 3 (10) (13), all properties in Society should have same Transfer Charges. I am unable to trace that web page & can’t get rules in detail on website.

      Pls advise,

  101. Dear Sir

    I purchased a resale flat and its sale agreement and stamp duty registration was done on 6th June 2014. I paid NOC amount to the builder. That time I was not aware that society formation was under progress.
    The Society was formed on 22 July 2014, and obviously my name was not there in the member list.
    I gave application to society regarding membership of society and share transfer in sept 2014. I am also regularly paying maitenance charges and having receipt issued in my name.

    Now society is asking my to carry out cidco transfer in my name first and then they will transfer the share. Is it like that? I learn that before flat bought before conveyance exempted from cidco transfer.
    and also cidco transfer is not possible before conveyance.
    How much amount I need to pay for cidco transfer since society is just formed and no conveyance is done.
    Another, Do I need to pay society for share transfer.

    Pl pl

    1. You need not to pay transfer fees for share certificate . Share certificate has to issued in your name only. since you have purchase flat on 06/06/2014 and society register on 22/07/2014. so you are the founder member of society. It is chief promoter duty to check & change member name before society get registration certificate.

      For CIDCO Transfer first you have to go to CIDCO office get transfer form and submit the necessary document along with forms and pay the fees as per demand notice given by CIDCO to transfer the name.

    2. Dear Sir

      I thank you for your reply. I have one more querry.

      I checked the society member list. The previous owner's name is there in the list and not mine. So my question, while doing the CIDCO transfer, do I need to pay my transfer fee only or need to pay for first owner also.

      Please suggest.

      Thanks

    3. Dear Sir

      I thank you for your reply. I went to subregistrar office where I have been told that CIDCO transfer is not possible untill conveyance is done. I am very confused. Please tell me is it the case?

      Some people and even the chairman told me that even before the conveyance CIDCO transfer can be carried out.

      What should I do?

      Delete
    4. Assuming that you want to transfer your flat in your name in CIDCO records. i.e. in Property Tax Department.

      If yes then you have to go to CIDCO office not Sub Registrar office. Go CIDCO office along with photo copy of all chain of agreement of your flat & property tax bill & receipt. Show this to CIDCO Property Tax officer and ask him/her what is the process for transfer of property tax in your name.

      If you go to Sub registrar office they think that you want to transfer land so they inform you to execute conveyance deed

    2. After Death of your father how you will get sign on Transfer set to transfer the share certificate ? Ask you father to make WILL register the WILL in Sub Registrar of Assurance Office . After death of your father you have to get probate of WILL and submit it in your society to transfer the share certificate.

  103. Dear Mr. Visariya - Pls help. I am about to purchase a resale flat in Pune. She is the first owner. She purchased the flat from builder and got the possession in August 2013 and staying there since then. The building completion certificate was received in April 2014. The housing society was registered in June 2014 and the share certificates have come just this month i.e. Feb 2015. The society is ready to give NOC for this resale by accepting transfer charges. But I read that as per MCS act 29(2)(a), the member cannot transfer his share/interest in the property before one year. So will this rule apply in my case? Because she is the first owner and she had held the flat for 1.5 years and this is going to be first 'transfer' of flat. So can the seller sell the flat? Will I get the share certificate transferred to my name immediately? Or will I have to wait for one year? Please help asap.Thanks a ton in advance.

  104. Sir, I purchaced a flat and on verbal communication by the society to the seller we had to pay 3.5 lacs each. The seller had a bad relation and long due with the builder and society that the seller had to do this. This is what I believe. Having gone thru almost 50% payment schedule and registration was coming thru in a weeks time I had to make the payment under duress. It's almost 2 months now since I paid the transfer fee for which I have the receipt saying "transfer fee". Can I approach now for refund of excess above 25000/ from the society. Should the seller also take up simultaneously or can I alone to begin with. I was knowing the rule some what but was vague about the same and the society also acted very nasty that I was caught between the devil and the deep sea. Please advice.

    ReplyDelete
  105. You can alone ask the refund. You have to give letter to Dy. Registrar C.S. of your area along with proof that is receipt of transfer fees. and give copy of that letter to society and ask refund. You have to take follow up with registrar office for refund.

    1. I have know idea what C can do. But society can not transfer the share certificate to C directly. Society has to first transfer the share certificate and membership in the name of B. via proper transfer set submitted by A & B. after one year of transfer society can transfer the share certificate to C. via proper transfer set submitted by B & C.

    1. Society clearly inform on society letterhead in writing to the heirs to produce succession certificate or Legal heirs certificate from Hon. Court. OR if deceased member having any WILL then Probate of WILL or else society will not transfer the share certificate. If heir still not agree then ask them to go to Hon. Co-operative Court and get Order to transfer the falt Else MC members will come in litigation of this flat.

  113. sir,
    i have purchased a flat in mar 2012 in a CHS, and at the time of purchase i have paid the share transfer premium in cash to the seceratery that was Rs. 10000 at the time of purchase. But due to some hurry in loan process, i submitted all document in original including share certificate in the bank without getting it transferred in my name. At the time of payment of share premium i was issued a kaccha receipt signed by society cashier as deposit receipt for the same in the name of previous owner dated 11/04/12. and now i have withdrawn my share certificate from bank to get it transferred from society, society is again asking asking me to pay share premium saying that the last paid amount was against the share transfer to previous owner and said that they transferred it in back dated sep 11 from and said me that my previous owner has cheated me and used the amount in getting share transfer from his previous owner's name to his name.
    Can i get a legal base in this case against the society as i have paid amount in apr 12 after the purchase of the flat in mar 12 and it was society's fault to use the amount as charges to transfer my previous owner's pending transfer in back dated in sep 11 as the receipt showing the deposit in apr 12.
    please guide me what can i do as society is claiming that receipt is in name of previous owner so it was his charge and at the tym of deposit they denied me issue receipt in my name as i was not known to them. is transfer charges are paid by the seller or purchaser?? as at the time of purchase the share certificate was showing my owners name on it and last transfer was dated sep 11 so didnt got any doubt..... to whom to blame??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You can file case against Society for cheating. Society issue receipt to its member i.e. seller it is correct. Regarding transfer charges it is depend upon mutual understanding of buyer and seller. Normally it is 50 -50.
      If share certificate is showing seller name that it is society fault. May be secretary use your money for his use and now he is asking you to pay again.

  114. Sir, I purchased an underconstruction flat in Dec 2013 and now in April 2015 we are getting possession before possession the builder told me verbally that I have to pay 85000 rupees as society charges and 27300 rupees for advance maintainence charges for a year till d society I formed. And I will be getting only maintainence charges receipt. In vasai east builders generally do not give society receipt. I was also told that payment should be made in cash and society receipt will not be given. Now when I reached builders office to pay society and maintainence charges so that I take the possession letter. I was shocked to hear from.The builder that society charges have gone up and I have to pay 125000 rupees instead of earlier 85000 rupees for society charges. Means 40000 rupees extra. Without any prior intimation or anuthing they had increased the society charges wen it was time to get possession. I was shocked and was told that we are cooperating with you and will give u possession keys and posession right now and will give you maintainence and possession receipt when I pay extra 40000 rupees. This is totally unethical. Before possession we received a letter from.buolfer stating we are happy to give possession please pay remaining dues by April. There was no.mention of society or maintaince charges in wroting. They acted so smart that they never wrote society charhes in any of their written communication and thatsy today they have increased the society charges on top of it we hav to pay by cash and we cannot get receipt for that. Once I pay all d amount only then i will get possession letter. The builder told me that I am.over reacting. They are giving me keys amd giving possession to.me and giving time to arrange remaining 40 k. This is what he is saying. Builders have good touch at municipal corporation. I feel this is unethical. I want to pay but now I want to pay by cheque and I wany a receipt for the society charges. Please sir help me pls. If there is anything that u did not.understand pls ask
