Preface:-
The Maharashtra Ownership of Flats (Regulation of Promotion of Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1963 and the Rules of 1964 contain provisions mandating the Developer/Promoter to execute conveyance of the lands and buildings occupied by co-operative housing societies or apartment bodies within the prescribed period. However, as these provisions were not implemented by the Developer/promoter, the Department of Housing carried out amendments to Sections 10 and 11 of the said Act incorporating provisions for the ex-parte deemed conveyance in favour of the co-operative housing societies. In this regard, by the above referred Notification in the Department of Housing at Sr.No.3, Dt. 25.2.2011 all District Deputy Registrars of Co-operative Societies were appointed as Competent Authorities in the State, while the Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies (CIDCO), New Mumbai was appointed to perform this duty in the CIDCO areas. Moreover, the Department of Housing with a view to implementing this process fixed the list of documents required for deemed conveyance, vide Government Resolution dated 25.2.2011. However, as the co-operative housing societies faced several difficulties in obtaining these documents the process of deemed conveyance did not pick up speed. Furthermore, it was noticed that the societies too were not ready to come forward in this regard.
- Upon consideration of the aforestated factors it became imperative to facilitate the process of Deemed Conveyance of Co-operative Housing Societies and to reduce the number of documents required therefor. Hence, a committee was constituted at the level of the Commissioner of Co-operation and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune to carry out a study and make recommendations thereupon. Pursuant to the Report submitted by this Committee a Coordination Committee under the Chairpersonship of the Principal Secretary (Housing) was constituted at the level of the Government to take policy decision in this regard. A meeting of this committee was held and in this meeting all the recommendations contained in the Report submitted by the Committee of the Commissioner of Co-operation and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune were accepted. Moreover, by the above referred Government Resolution at Serial No.10, dt.14.06.2016 issued by the Department of Housing the number of documents required for Deemed Conveyance were reduced from 12 to 8. Furthermore, on 12.07.2016 the Department of Revenue & Forest too issued a circular at Reference No.11 above stipulating that minimum 5 documents would be required for the valuation and registration of Deemed Conveyance instrument.
- Since the recommendations contained in the Report regarding Deemed Conveyance submitted by the Commissioner of Co-operation and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune to the Government pertained to the Department of Revenue & Forest, Department of urban Development, Department of Co-operation, Marketing & Textile etc., Hon’ble Chief Secretary called upon the concerned departments to take necessary action upon the said recommendations and to submit reports in that regard. Thereafter a meeting was held on 26.09.2016 under his Chairpersonship with a view to implementing the recommendations made in this regard. In this meeting, pursuant to the recommendations made by the Committee Secretary (Housing), a review was taken of the action taken by the concerned departments in this regard and the yearly review of the cases pending in the office of the Commissioner of Co-operation and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune was also conducted. After deliberations it was so realised that the applicants would find it very difficult to submit the documents prescribed in all these Government Resolutions incorporating all the documents prescribed by these departments and comprehensive Guidelines expected by them were to be issued it would provide all information at one level and afford relief to the applicants by facilitating the process of application. Hence, it was so decided in the meeting that the Commissioner of Co-operation and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune should prepare the draft of a single Government Resolution by taking into account the provisions of Deemed Conveyance, as well as the procedure to be adopted by the Competent Authorities and the duties to be performed in this regard, besides the difficulties encountered by the citizens in that regard and that the said Government Resolution should be issued in consultation with all the concerned departments.
