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.
