Deemed Conveyance process in Pune

Most of the flat-owners of the newly constructed apartments do not have their sale deeds or conveyance deeds or even names in the 7/12. Mostly in the newly constructed buildings, the builders provide for making a housing co-operative society to which they shall transfer their interest in the property. Then the builders make the society but do not pass on the title of the property (read ownership) to the flat-owners or the society till he has sold all the flats in the building. Thus the builders are benefiting from the buyers lack of awareness and information.

To curb this practice, amendments were carried out in the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, in 2008 to appoint a Competent Authority (Registrar of Co-operative Housing Societies) to hear the grievances of such apartment owners and to safeguard the interest of such societies.

MEANING OFCONVEYANCE:

Conveyance means to transfer or convey anything to another person. In the legal sense Conveyance refers to the transfer of ownership or other interest in the property to the other party. Conveyance Deed is a document executed to transfer the title of land and building in favour of Society or Association of Persons (AOP). A deemed conveyance means when the builder/ promoter/ developer of the project refuses to sign the conveyance deed the court can sign the same on behalf of the builder and record the same in the government records.

WHEN IS THERE A NEED FOR DEEMED CONVEYANCE:

In a situation when a promoter or owner of residential premises/ buildings does not transfer/convey the ownership of the flats to the housing society or association of persons (AOP), the society or AOP can make an application to Registrar of Co-operative Housing Societies, to transfer the ownership of the said flats to them. This process is carried on through Deemed Conveyance of the title of the buildings and land in favour of the Society or AOP without the need of the builder to do so.

IMPORTANCE AND PROVISION OF LAW ON CONVEYANCE:

As per the Housing Society bye-laws, the main objective of formation of the Society is to obtain the Conveyance; and if Conveyance is not given by the Builder within four months from the date of registration of the Society, a case can be filed against the Builder to obtain the Conveyance. As per Section 13 of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, failure to give Conveyance is an offence and the Builder can be imprisoned up to 3 years or fined or both.

ADVANTAGES OF CONVEYANCE:

Getting a proper and legal title in the name of the Society.
Retaining the additional FSI as per the Government announcements.
Property will be free and marketable.
Society can raise the loans for repairs and reconstruction by mortgage.
Permission from planning authorities is possible if the building has to be reconstructed at a later date due to dilapidation of the structure due to age or by earthquake.
Society can take the benefit of TDR.
Members can receive compensation from Builder on redevelopment of the building.


 DISADVANTAGES OF NOT HAVING CONVEYANCE DEED

Even though you have purchased ownership flat, you are not the owner of the land and building. 2. In the event of a building collapse or damage to the building, you cannot reconstruct the building without the permission of the Builder / Land owner.
The Builder/Developer may mortgage the property purchased by you as he is the legal owner and holding the Title Deeds of the Property.
The Builder/Developer may transfer the FSI/ TDR to his other projects and enjoy the commercial benefits, depriving the flat purchasers/Society of its legal entitlement.
The Builder may make profit by sale of open spaces, gardens, terrace, parking space belonging to the Society.
The Builder may demand a huge amount from the Society, if Conveyance is sought by the Society after a lapse of many years.
The Builder may sell the entire Development Rights and the Legal Rights on the land to third party and create a third party interest in the Property and the Society will have to incur a huge amount to clear the same.

Stage 2- Documentation for Deemed Conveyance

Let’s discuss each step in detail:

Preparation for Deemed Conveyance:
In this stage the managing committee needs to pass resolution to undergo deemed conveyance. A Special General Meeting is scheduled with prior notification and consent of all the members is obtained to move ahead.

During this SGM the following Resolutions are typically passed.

Resolution for going ahead with Deemed Conveyance
Resolution for Appointment of Authorized Representative
Resolution for Appointment of Legal Consultant for Deemed Conveyance
Resolution for Per Member Contributions

Documentation for Deemed Conveyance:
This is the most crucial step in obtaining deemed conveyance. It is a very meticulous job and make sure all the documents are lined up within the right format. You would require land revenue records, municipal corporation records, society records, property development records and professional certificates.

All these documents can be obtained from various departments such as Land revenue records from City Survey Office, Tahasildar/ Talathi Office & District Collector Office, municipal corporation records from Building Proposal Department of the Municipal Corporation. Society records and certificates can be obtained from society offices and professionals.

Once all the documents are lined up, society needs to fill in Deemed Conveyance Application- Form VII and attached all the related documents. In case of deemed conveyance, a legal notice is sent to the developer for their consent. In regular conveyance procedures, since the developers or promoters are willingly providing the rights lot of documents can be easily recovered from them.

Once the form is filled up and all documents are annexed it is submitted to the Competent Authority- the District Deputy Registrar of Co- Operative Societies of the particular District.

Legal Case for deemed conveyance:
Once the application is submitted to the authorities they issue Deemed Conveyance Scrutiny Report- Form VIII within 1 month. Once the compliance is provided the authorities issues Summons & Newspaper Notices to the Land Owners & Property Developers for appearing for the hearing.

During the hearing process authorities take into consideration the arguments of the both parties. The process takes place within 3-4 months. Once all the arguments are documented the office issues a Deemed Conveyance order within 1 month. The whole process is completed within 6 months as this is a time bound activity.

Registration of deemed conveyance:
A deemed conveyance deed is created during this phase and is signed by both societies and developers. If developers do not appear for hearing in the prior stage (Which is the case in deemed conveyance), authorities have the power to sign the deed on behalf of developers.

The society needs to conduct a meeting and appoint 3 members to sign the deed. Post that the deed is submitted to district stamp office for adjudication. If all the members have paid their stamp duty and if there is no balance FSI, the office issues adjudication certificate. (Note – Deed only requires Rs 100 stamp duty). The adjudication certificate needs to be then franked from local bank and resubmitted to registration office.

The registration office then issues notice to land owner/developer to verify if there is any stay order against the deed of conveyance. (Note – The developer can get the stay order only from high court). If there is no stay order the deed of deemed conveyance is registered and then the office issues scanned documents and Index II. This mark end of registration process and the society becomes the owner of the land and structure.

Transfer of property:
In this phase a new application is submitted to various departments to make mutation entries in their records. This would make the process complete.

Conveyance Vs Deemed Conveyance

Conveyance Deed is a document executed to transfer the title of land and building in favour of Society.

MEANING OF DEEMED CONVEYANCE:

The Promoter (Builder/ Developer) is legally required to convey the land and the building within 4 months of formation to the society or any legal body of the flat purchasers. However, it has been the experience that many promoters (Builders/Developers) have not conveyed the land and building to the legal bodies. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) and provided for the deemed conveyance in favour of the legal bodies. Under the provision, deemed conveyance means after the expiry of 4 months of formation of the legal body, the land and building is deemed to have been conveyed to the legal body and to bring the same in the revenue record, a Competent Authority has been designated who will hear the parties on the basis of applications received from the aggrieved party and transfers the title in favour of the legal body by passing the necessary order and deemed conveyance certificate and appoint an authorised officer to execute the conveyance deed in favour of the society and execute on behalf of non co-operative builder or the land owner. Getting the title of land and building by adopting the above procedure is known as deemed conveyance.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEEMED CONVEYANCE AND THE REGULAR CONVEYANCE

In case of regular conveyance, the builder/ Developer/ Landowner prepares a conveyance deed, execute the same and appear before the Sub-Registrar of assurance for admitting their signature. Without any problem, the legal bodies get the conveyance with the co-operation of the builder/ landowner.

In case of deemed conveyance, the builder/ land owner or their legal heirs are not co-operating, therefore, the aggrieved parties appear before the Designated Competent Authority, who hears all the parties and passes the necessary order of conveyance. Deemed Conveyance is obtained as a legal remedy against the defaulter builder/ landowner who don’t want to part with the land and the building in favour of the society.


DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED ALONG WITH APPLICATION TO GET THE DEEMED CONVEYANCE:

• Registered Agreement for sale entered into with the promoter/opponent party
• 7/12 Extract and Village form No.6 (Mutation entries) / Property card,
• Location Plan
• City survey plan or survey plan from the revenue department.
• Layout Plot plan approved by the local authority

Lawyers for Deemed Conveyance Process in Pune

Most of the flat-owners of the newly constructed apartments do not have their sale deeds or conveyance deeds or even names in the 7/12. Mostly in the newly constructed buildings, the builders provide for making a housing co-operative society to which they shall transfer their interest in the property. Then the builders make the society but do not pass on the title of the property (read ownership) to the flat-owners or the society till he has sold all the flats in the building. Thus the builders are benefiting from the buyers lack of awareness and information.

To curb this practice, amendments were carried out in the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, in 2008 to appoint a Competent Authority (Registrar of Co-operative Housing Societies) to hear the grievances of such apartment owners and to safeguard the interest of such societies.

MEANING OFCONVEYANCE:

Conveyance means to transfer or convey anything to another person. In the legal sense Conveyance refers to the transfer of ownership or other interest in the property to the other party. Conveyance Deed is a document executed to transfer the title of land and building in favour of Society or Association of Persons (AOP). A deemed conveyance means when the builder/ promoter/ developer of the project refuses to sign the conveyance deed the court can sign the same on behalf of the builder and record the same in the government records.

WHEN IS THERE A NEED FOR DEEMED CONVEYANCE:

In a situation when a promoter or owner of residential premises/ buildings does not transfer/convey the ownership of the flats to the housing society or association of persons (AOP), the society or AOP can make an application to Registrar of Co-operative Housing Societies, to transfer the ownership of the said flats to them. This process is carried on through Deemed Conveyance of the title of the buildings and land in favour of the Society or AOP without the need of the builder to do so.

IMPORTANCE AND PROVISION OF LAW ON CONVEYANCE:

As per the Housing Society bye-laws, the main objective of formation of the Society is to obtain the Conveyance; and if Conveyance is not given by the Builder within four months from the date of registration of the Society, a case can be filed against the Builder to obtain the Conveyance. As per Section 13 of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, failure to give Conveyance is an offence and the Builder can be imprisoned up to 3 years or fined or both.


ADVANTAGES OF CONVEYANCE:

Getting a proper and legal title in the name of the Society.

Property will be free and marketable.
Society can raise the loans for repairs and reconstruction by mortgage.

Advocates for transfer of Share in Pune

INTRODUCTION

The Maharashtra Ownership Flats (Regulation of the Promotion, Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1963 (Hereinafter referred to as “the MOFA”) was an attempt to mitigate all the unscrupulous practices pertaining to promotion, construction, sale, management and transfer of flats sold on an ownership basis within the State of Maharashtra.

The Act defines a “flat” as:

“A separate and self-contained premises, which is used or is intended to be used as a Residence, Office, Showroom, Shop, Godown, carrying on of any industry or business including a Garage and the premises forms part of a building.

Explanation: Notwithstanding that provisions are made for sanitary, washing, bathing or other conveniences as common to two ‘or more sets of premises, the premises shall be deemed to be separate and self-contained.”


Moreover, a “promoter” is one who is defined as follows:

“…a person who constructs or causes to be constructed a block or building of flats [or apartments] for the purpose of selling some or all of them to other persons, or to a company, co-operative society, or other association of persons, and includes his assignees; and where the person who builds and the person who sells are different persons, the term includes both.”

The Sections 10 and 11 under MOFA jointly regulate the conveyance of title. Section10 mandates that as and when the minimum requisite individuals for a co-operative society or company have purchased flats, the promoter is required to submit an application, within the prescribed period, for the registration of the conglomerate of persons who take the flat either as a cooperative society or as a company.

This is followed by Section 11, wherein, the promoter shall take all the necessary steps to complete his title and convey, to the conglomerate of persons, registered either as a company or a co-operative housing society, who purchase flats, his right, title, and interest in the building and execute all the relevant documents thereof in accordance with the agreement. This period for the execution of the conveyance could either be agreed upon or if not, then the execution must be done in the prescribed period and documents of title, in the promoter’s possession or power is delivered.

Therefore, once the title is conveyed to the conglomerate of persons registered as a society, here is when the question of transfer of shares crops up, which is discussed in detail in the following paragraphs.

LAW RELATING TO TRANSFER OF SHARES OF A SOCIETY IN MAHARASHTRA

 

Section 29 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 and Rule 24 of the Maharashtra  Co-operative Societies Rules, 1961 and Bye-laws 37 and 38 are the major provisions concerned with the transfer of flats.

PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFER: COMPLIANCE WITH ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

Under Section 29 (2) (a) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, a member has to hold the shares for at least a period of one year before he transfers his shares together with his interest in the flat. According to the Rule 24 of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Rules, 1961 every transfer of shares, as a mandate, has to be as per the bye-laws adopted by the Society, order to be effective. Further important requirements for transfer are as under:

Clear fifteen days’ notice in writing is required to be given to the Society indicating therein the name of the proposed transferee, his consent and the value proposed to be paid by the transferee. On receipt of this notice, the secretary of the society will place it before the meeting of the committee held next, pointing out whether the member is prima facie eligible to transfer his shares and interest in the capital or property of the society or not. If the committee is satisfied that the member is prima facie eligible to transfer his shares and interest in the capital or property of the society or ineligible therefor, it will direct the secretary to inform the member within three days.

All dues and liabilities of the transferor due to the Society including any charge in favor of the Society on the share so transferred, are to be discharged;

Application in the prescribed form, for transfer of shares and interest in the capital/property of the society, along with the share certificate are to be submitted;

Resignation by the original member has to be tendered

The application has to be submitted by the proposed transferee for membership of the Society

Payment of Transfer fee as may be prescribed under the bye-laws of the Society, i.e., Rs.500

Transfer premium at the rate fixed by the general body, but within the limit prescribed by circulars issued by the Government from time to time. As per the circular dated 20/12/1989 the transfer premium should not exceed 25,000/-

A copy of duly registered agreement with appropriate stamp duty must be paid to the Society

Declaration by the transferee to use the flat for residence purpose only, or state the reasons otherwise when use is apart from residential purpose

An Undertaking by the transferor to discharge all liabilities to the Society

If the transferor has availed of any loan for purchasing the flat from any bank, housing financing agency, no objection from that bank or housing financing agency is required to be submitted to the Society.

DISPOSAL OF TRANSFER APPLICATIONS

The Bye-Law no. 38 deals with the disposal of transfer applications. The Secretary should scrutinize the documents received and verify as to the conformity with the Act, Rules, and Bye-laws of the Society and place the same before the Managing Committee of the Society for its approval. If such application is rejected, the Secretary has to communicate the decision to the applicant within 15 days from the date of the decision or within 3 months from the date of receipt of the application, whichever is earlier. If the applicant does not receive intimation from the Society within 3 months from the date of submission of application, it is deemed that the application for membership is accepted.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES 

Under Section 29 (2) (a) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, no share can be transferred unless the share has been held for one year before the transfer and it is made to no one else but the member of the society, or one whose application for membership has been accepted or one who is deemed to be a member of the society.

TRANSFER V. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

Transfer of shares in a CHS together with the interest of the member in the flat allotted to him as a member of the society can be by way of sale or by gift whereas transmission takes place on demise of the member either according to the will of the deceased member or according to personal law of succession applicable to the deceased member, in absence of his valid will.

Under Section 29 (2) (a) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, no share can be transferred unless the share has been held for one year before the transfer and it is made to no one else but the member of the society, or one whose application for membership has been accepted or one who is deemed to be a member of the society.

TRANSFER V. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

Transfer of shares in a CHS together with the interest of the member in the flat allotted to him as a member of the society can be by way of sale or by gift whereas transmission takes place on demise of the member either according to the will of the deceased member or according to personal law of succession applicable to the deceased member, in absence of his valid will.

In case of transfer by sale, proper sale deed is required to be executed by and between the seller and the buyer, proper stamp duty as per the market value of such flat as specified in the Stamp Duty Ready Reckoner is required to be paid and the sale deed also needs to be registered as required under The Registration Act,1908. Further, as per the bye-law of the Society, transfer premium up to a maximum of ` 25,000/- is payable to the Society. Whereas in the case of transmission no such documentation is required and as such, no stamp duty is payable as well no transfer premium is payable to the Society.

CONCLUSION

Every Society must have their bye-laws laid down so that compliance becomes easier in cases of transfers between members.
