Deemed Conveyance of Co-operative Housing Societies in Jalgaon

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:

  1. Getting a proper and legal title in the name of the Society.
  2. Retaining the additional FSI as per the Government announcements.
  3. Property will be free and marketable.
  4. Society can raise the loans for repairs and reconstruction by mortgage.
  5. 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.
  6. Society can take the benefit of TDR.
  7. Members can receive compensation from Builder on redevelopment of the building.

DISADVANTAGES OF NOT HAVING CONVEYANCE DEED

PROCEDURE:

Stage 1- Preparation for Deemed Conveyance
During this stage the Managing Committee prepares the Members of the Co- Operative Housing Society for Deemed Conveyance.

Stage 2- Documentation for Deemed Conveyance
During this stage the Documents Required for Deemed Conveyance are collected/ organized & the Case is prepared.

Stage 5- Transfer of Property after Deemed Conveyance
During this stage the Society Name is incorporated in the Land Revenue Records.

  1. 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.

  1. Resolution for going ahead with Deemed Conveyance
  2. Resolution for Appointment of Authorized Representative
  3. Resolution for Appointment of Legal Consultant for Deemed Conveyance
  4. 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.

 DUE DILIGENCE TO BE DONE WHILE PURCHASING A  PROPERTY

  1. First comes in the checklist is the Zone.Check it whether the property comes into the “R” OR NON-AGRICULTURE” zone because if the the property is in non residential or non agriculture zone like green zone etc.you may not get approvals from authorities like MC for commencement of construction or if you get permission for construction in other zone, than R zone, the  F.S.I granted for other zones is comparatively less.
  2. The second must thing to do is “TITLE SEARCH”.
  3. Title search is must to do, but not enough, to ensure the property is without encumbrances,then what?
  4. Then the most important thing to be done after the title search is PUBLIC NOTICE.Public notice is meant for inviting any objections or claims regarding the property,this will make you aware if the land owner is playing double and has sold the same plot to somebody else also and if within the desired period no objections/claims are raised, you can move on.
  5. Next if the Landowner is handing over immediate possession go for a  registered sale deed.
  6. If the Landowner has promised, future possession, its better to go with agreement to sale and the consideration to be paid in part and the payment should be done through the negotiable instrument like Cheque/D.D or bank transfer NEFT/RTGS .In no case you should go for Cash transaction, There are  likely chances of deciet or fraud in Cash transaction.
  7. After a registered sale deed get the mutation entry done.see that your name has been arrived on the property card.
  8. Above are the general precautions to be taken.

Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed in Jalgaon

Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed

Want to purchase a Flat? If Yes, Please Be Carefull so you may not fall prey to  the frivilious offers by decietfull builders and developers .

While purchasing the Flat Property you should take the following care/ due diligence.

  1. Prefer a ready to move property rather an under construction property.If property is ready to move see that if the project has any tie ups with nationalised banks ,if so the project is safe to invest because bank offers assitance to a project or scheme, after due diligence.Or else first thing to do is,to get the title search done.If title is clear than go for bank loan, because banks while granting loan takes due diligence while lending financial assistance. This again will be a safety check for verification and authentication of builder as well as project, if there are any existing encumbrances on the said property.If the bank is ready to sanction loan means there is absence of encumbrances like mortgage or lease.
  2. The next comes in the checklist, is verification  with RERA.whether the builder/ scheme is registered with RERA, if so, confirm that he has not been blacklisted by the Authority.
  3. Another thing to take into account while considering ready to move property is whether the scheme has been assigned completion certificate and occupancy certificate which validates, that it is ready to move property.
  4. If it is under construction property before giving the token amount, check whether builder has got commencement certificate and other approvals from the  public authorities like MSEB,MUNICIPAL CORPORATION or N.O.C from environmental dept.as well as fire and safety department.

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.

  4. 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.

 DUE DILIGENCE TO BE DONE WHILE PURCHASING A  PROPERTY

  1. First comes in the checklist is the Zone.Check it whether the property comes into the “R” OR NON-AGRICULTURE” zone because if the the property is in non residential or non agriculture zone like green zone etc.you may not get approvals from authorities like MC for commencement of construction or if you get permission for construction in other zone, than R zone, the  F.S.I granted for other zones is comparatively less.
  2. The second must thing to do is “TITLE SEARCH”.
  3. Title search is must to do, but not enough, to ensure the property is without encumbrances,then what?
  4. Then the most important thing to be done after the title search is PUBLIC NOTICE.Public notice is meant for inviting any objections or claims regarding the property,this will make you aware if the land owner is playing double and has sold the same plot to somebody else also and if within the desired period no objections/claims are raised, you can move on.
  5. Next if the Landowner is handing over immediate possession go for a  registered sale deed.
  6. If the Landowner has promised, future possession, its better to go with agreement to sale and the consideration to be paid in part and the payment should be done through the negotiable instrument like Cheque/D.D or bank transfer NEFT/RTGS .In no case you should go for Cash transaction, There are  likely chances of deciet or fraud in Cash transaction.
  7. After a registered sale deed get the mutation entry done.see that your name has been arrived on the property card.
  8. Above are the general precautions to be taken.
