Societies can get conveyance with single document

Mumbai: Here’s heartening news for housing societies struggling to obtain titles to the land on which their flats are located. Once proposals submitted by a state committee become law, societies will merely have to submit a list of flat purchasers (members) to be eligible for deemed conveyance.

A draft notification, formulated earlier by the state housing department for granting deemed conveyance of the land and the building to housing societies, had proposed the submission of 21 property and title-related documents. The provision of deemed conveyance was thought of in cases where there were long delays by builders in this regard.

Following objections raised by several housing societies and individual flat purchasers, a state-appointed committee working on the draft notification has now modified the clause. “Possessing even one of these 21 documents will now make the society eligible for applying for deemed conveyance,” said Sitaram Kunte, secretary, housing department, who is also chairing the committee. Kunte made this announcement during a convention on deemed conveyance organised by MP Sanjay Nirupam for the benefit of housing societies in the western suburbs.
