Ved Legal - 2025 February

Registration of Deemed Conveyance

On receipt of the Deemed Conveyance Order, the Deemed Conveyance Deed between the Competent Authority & the Society is prepared. The Competent Authority appears in the Deed on behalf of the defaulting Land Owners & Property Developers.

The Deemed Conveyance Deed is submitted to the Office of Competent Authority for Approval & their Signature with Authority Stamp & Seal.

The Special General Body of the Society is called to approve the Deemed Conveyance Deed & to nominate 3 Members of the Society to sign the Deed.

The Deemed Conveyance Deed is executed by the signature of the Competent Authority & the signatures of the 3 nominated Members of the Society.

On execution of the Deemed Conveyance Deed, it is forwarded to the District Stamp Office for Adjudication. If all the Members of the Society have paid the Stamp Duty on their respective Flat/ Shop Agreements & there is no balance FSI, the Deemed Conveyance Deed attracts only Rs. 100/- Stamp Duty. The Stamp Office issues the Adjudication Certificate.

On receipt of the Adjudication Certificate, the Society pays the required Stamp Duty & gets the Deemed Conveyance Deed Franked from local Bank.

After Franking of the Deemed Conveyance Deed, the same is submitted to the Registration Office for Registration. The Registration Office issues a notice to the Land Owners & Property Developers to verify whether they have received any Stay Order from Proper Court against the Deemed Conveyance Order.

The Proper Court for issuing the Stay Order against the Deemed Conveyance Order is High Court. It is very difficult for the Land Owners & Property Developers to obtain the Stay Order from High Court against the Deemed Conveyance Order.

If there is no Stay Order received, the Registration Office Registers the Deemed Conveyance Deed. The Competent Authority is exempted from appearing for the Registration & hence the 3 Members nominated by the Society only appear for Registration.

After Registration of the Deemed Conveyance Deed, the Registration Office issues the Scanned Document & Index II typically within 15 days.

The complete Procedure of Registration of Deemed Conveyance Deed is typically completed within 3- 4 Months. On receipt of the Index II, the Registration Process of the Deemed Conveyance Deed is successfully completed & the Society becomes the owner of the Land & Structure

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVEYANCE AND DEEMED CONVEYANCE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVEYANCE AND DEEMED CONVEYANCE

Conveyance –

A generic term for any written document which transfers (conveys) real estate property or real property interests from one party to another.

So by the above definition its very clear that if someone willingly transfers their legal right of the property to another party they would need to create a document which transfers this right. Such a document is called Deed of conveyance.

The important point here is – Willingly. Now in case of housing societies the builder/promoters have to ideally create deed of conveyance and hand over it to housing societies that to within 4 months after project completion. However, due to lack of knowledge many builders do not create such documents. There have been cases where builders have later on denied to create such documents and asked additional money to provide signatures on these documents. You will find all sorts of reasons for not creating the document. This results in issues for societies in future. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) to make sure if builders run way from such responsibilities the societies do not suffer. This amendment is called Deemed Conveyance. This amendment allows society owners to gain the legal rights of the land even if the builder is not willing to transfer the rights, in front of designated competent authority.

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 favor 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, 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 favor of the legal body by passing the necessary order and deemed conveyance certificate and appoint an authorized officer to execute the conveyance deed in favor 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.

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO DEEMED CONVEYANCE

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO DEEMED CONVEYANCE

Most of the flat-owners of the newly constructed Societies/apartments do not have their sale deeds or conveyance deeds. Mostly in the newly constructed buildings, the builders provide for forming a housing co-operative society to which they shall transfer their interest in the property. Then the builders form the society but do not transfer the title of the property (read ownership) to the flat-owners or the society till he has transferred all the rights in the building/Societies/apartments. Thus the builders/promoters 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 Societies/apartments owners and to safeguard their interest by executing deemed conveyance of such societies u/s 11(3) of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963.

Ved Legal is having enough experience to deal with these kinds of Deemed Conveyance of Co-operative Housing Societies, in and around Mumbai, Pune. Any aggrieved society or apartment holder can get resolution from us in regards of the same.

CONVEYANCE AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Conveyance is transfer the title of land and building by promoter/land owner in favour of housing society by execution of Conveyance Deed. As per the provision contemplated in Section 11 of Maharashtra Ownership Flat Act 1963, Conveyance is the right of Co-operative Housing Society and the Duty of the property Developer/Promoter to be executed within 4 months from date of Registration of Co-Operative Society.

After land and Building is conveyed in favour of Co-Operative Society and the title of property is fully and finally recorded in the property card and other revenue records then only the property becomes completely free and marketable.

As per Housing Society Bye-laws the main objective of formation of the society is to obtain conveyance and if conveyance is executed within 4 months from date of registration of society case can be filed against the promoter /landowner of the land to obtain the conveyance as per section 13 of MOFA 1963 failure to give conveyance is an offence and the promoter/landowner of land can be imprisoned upto 3 years or fine or both.

MEANING OF DEEMED CONVEYANCE:

Deemed Conveyance occurs when the builder/land owner or the legal heir refuse to co-operate in handing over conveyance to the Co-operative Society under the Section 11(3) of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963. In such case, the housing society has to appear before the District Deputy Registrar, who will hear the case of both parties i.e. the housing society and the builder and would pass the required order of Conveyance. It is a remedial measure obtained by the society against the builder/landowner who does not wish to convey the property since he/she sees a commercial gain out of the property in future. This could include usage of potential FSI for their personal gain.

Deemed Conveyance is final conveyance and the same can be registered. Once the designated Competent Authority has passed the order, there cannot be an appeal against it.

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 & PROVISIONS 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, Case of Deemed Conveyance can be filed against the Builder to obtain the Conveyance before the District Deputy Registrar. As per Section 13 of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, failure to give Conveyance in favour of cooperative housing society 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 tap the benefits in case the building is later taken up for redevelopment or if the plot has some unutilized floor space index.
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.

There are certain important conditions which need to be fulfilled to go ahead for deemed conveyance, some of them are:

1. At least 60% of the flats in that scheme should be sold.

Preparation for Deemed Conveyance:

This is a very important stage where the Managing Committee prepares the Members of Co- Operative Housing Society for the Deemed Conveyance.

The Managing Committee convenes a Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Society by giving suitable notice highlighting the agenda.

The Managing Committee places before the SGM the difficulties faced for obtaining the Conveyance from the Land Owners/ Property Developers. The Managing Committee explains the effects of non- availability of Conveyance to the Members. The Managing Committee explains the Procedure & Benefits of Deemed Conveyance to the Members.

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 Deed of Society in Pune

CONVEYANCE DEED

In case of housing societies the builder/promoters have to ideally create deed of conveyance and hand over it to housing societies that to within 4 months after project completion. However, due to lack of knowledge many builders do not create such documents. There have been cases where builders have later on denied to create such documents and asked additional money to provide signatures on these documents. You will find all sorts of reasons for not creating the document. This results in issues for societies in future. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) to make sure if builders run way from such responsibilities, the societies do not suffer. This amendment is called “Deemed Conveyance”. This amendment allows society owners to gain the legal rights of the land even if the builder is not willing to transfer the rights, in front of designated competent authority.

A valid conveyance deed must contain the following:

1. The actual demarcation of the property.

2. Other rights annexed to the property and its use.

3. The full chain of titles, that is, all legal rights up until the present seller.

4. The method of delivery of the property to the buyer.

5. A memo of the consideration, stating how it has been received.

6. Any further applicable terms and conditions for the full transfer of ownership rights.

Important points to consider, to ensure smooth purchase/sale of a property:

The seller is required to certify that the property is free of any legal encumbrance.

If a loan was taken against the property in question, then, the mortgage must be cleared before the deed is signed. Buyers have the option of having this checked at the local sub-registrar’s office.

The conveyance deed should state the exact date on which the property will be handed over to the buyer.

Within four months of the execution of the deed, all the original documents related to the sale of the property, need to be produced for registration before the local registrar.

The deed is required to be signed by at least two witnesses.
