Step-by-Step Guide to Deemed Conveyance for Societies

What is Deemed Conveyance?

When a builder constructs a building, they must legally transfer the land and building title to the Cooperative Housing Society within 4 months of formation. If they fail to do so, the society can apply for a Deemed Conveyance through the competent authority.

Why is it Crucial?

Without a conveyance deed, the society does not own the land it stands on. This means:

• You cannot undergo redevelopment in the future.
• The builder retains the TDR (Transfer of Development Rights) and FSI.
• You cannot legally expand or modify the structure.

The 5-Step Process

1. Resolution: Pass a resolution in a Special General Body Meeting (SGM) to pursue deemed conveyance.
2. Collect Documents: Gather the 7/12 extract, property card, building plan approvals, society registration certificate, and flat agreements.
3. Legal Notice: Send a final legal notice to the builder demanding the conveyance deed.
4. File Application: Submit Form VII along with all documentation to the District Deputy Registrar (DDR).
5. Hearing and Order: Attend the hearings. Once satisfied, the DDR will pass an order and issue the Deemed Conveyance certificate.
