    Sub: Special Drive for Deemed Conveyance

    The Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1983, provides for Conveyance of the Titles of the

    land by the developers to the CO-operative Housing Societies within four months of their

    formation. At present, the Co-operative Housing Societies have to depend fully upon the

    developers for getting the benefits of additional FSI, redevelopment of buildings, etc. till

    conveyance of the land to them.

    thThe State Government has decided to undertake a special drive from 15 December, 2012

    thto 30 June, 2013 with a view to confer upon the Co-operative Housing Societies the legal right of

    land from the developers. You have to apply in the prescribed pro-forma for Deemed Conveyance

    to the office of the concerned District Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies and Competent

    Authority of your area. He would pass appropriate orders after due hearing to all interested

    parties and issue conveyance certificate.

    Once a Co-operative Society submits the certificate regarding Deemed Conveyance for

    registration with the respective Sub-Registrar (Stamps), necessary action would be taken for

    registration of the certificate of conveyance. Upon registration of the conveyance you have to

    approach concerned Revenue / City Survey Officer to make a mutation entry and issue property

    card in the name of Housing Society.

    It is my sincere endeavor to see that the ownership title of the land to all the Co-operative

    Housing Societies in Maharashtra in conferred as a part of this special drive. 'The building

    belongs to the Society; so does the land under the building'. Therefore, I appeal to all Co-operative

    Housing Societies to actively participate in this special drive and make it a grand success.

    The Government Resolutions and Circulars relating to Deemed Conveyance are available

    on State Government's website http://housing.maharashtra.gov.in.

    Yours Sincerely,

    (Prithviraj Chavan)

    THE QUEST FOR RESOLVING DYNAMIC ISSUESThe DNA Property Redevelopment Conference-

    cum-Exhibition held last weekend witnessed

    several society members presenting recurring

    concerns

    (L-R) Subhash Patil, DDR-3;Ramesh Prabhu, chairman

    MSWA and Subodh Kumar,former commissioner, MCGM

    inaugurating the conference

    There is an informal group of housing society

    members, which only meets on special occasions.

    They never exchange telephone numbers nor do

    they link up on social networking platforms.

    The one place where they do gather unfailingly

    since the past three years, is the DNA Property

    Redevelopment Conference-cum-Exhibition series.

    From the debut event in January 2011 at Bandra-

    Kurla Complex to Chembur in May 2011 and Worli

    in August 2011, they have faithfully attended every

    single conference. They were present at Bombay

    Exhibition Center, Goregaon (E) in February 2012

    and returned for the fifth edition in February 2013

    as well.

    What is it that makes them attend the DNA Property

    Redevelopment Conference-cum-Exhibition each

    and every time? When we posed this question, the

    reply was "because redevelopment is getting more

    and more complicated by changing norms andpolicies. At each conference, we seek clarity on

    some new facet of the redevelopment process that

    has suddenly developed complexities."

    Trading an old home for a new one is a dream all

    Mumbaikars living in dilapidated buildings share.

    The DNA Property Redevelopment Conference-

    cum-Exhibition series has been conceptualised to

    make this dream come true. This unique,

    interactive platform ensures that the residents in

    these old structures take an informed decision and

    give them a new lease of life.

    Issues addressed

    S u b o d h K u m a r , f o r m e r

    commissioner, MCGM, provided

    in-depth insights into the

    reasons why redevelopment

    gets stalled. "Every tenant or

    member feels that he can get

    more area. Some go to court and

    the entire project gets delayed.

    The solution is, can we make a policy so that there is

    no bargaining? It should say compensation should

    be a certain percentage of the ready reckoner.

    Similarly, once you give incentive FSI based on a

    specific formula, excess profitability is reduced.

    There should be a competent authority to whom

    landlords and tenants can give consent. The

    authority will float the tender in the market and

    there will be competitive bidding, so nobody has a

    windfall gain. Today, everybody feels that others

    have got a better deal so redevelopment doesn't

    take place. Remember, nobody will take up a

    redevelopment project unless there is a reasonable

    profit," he explained.

    Key government initiatives

    S a n j a y N i r u p a m , M P ,

    elaborated on the government

    initiatives on redevelopment.

    "As per the law, conveyance

    should be provided within four

    months. However, for the past

    30-40 years, it didn't happen. I

    did not know that conveyance

    could be an election issue, but whenever I used to

    meet my constituents, they would say 'give us

    conveyance and we will give you votes.' That was

    when I realised that this issue affects societies to

    such a large extent. Over the past three to four

    years, the solution that was provided, namely

    deemed conveyance, has been very successful. It

    has even become glamorous; people want to know

    about it and talk about it," he pointed out.

    Conveyance concerns

    Subhash Patil, district deputy

    registrar (DDR-3), shared that

    out of the 35,000 co-operative

    housing societies in Mumbai,

    about 90% do not have

    conveyance."This is an essentialrequirement.

    There are multiple benefits of

    conveyance. It is required to get the name on the

    property card transferred in the name of the

    society. Earlier societies used to go to consumer

    court and civil courts. There was lots of litigation

    taking place. After the chief minister's intervention,

    deemed conveyance applications are increasing.

    You have to file an application with the district

    deputy registrar who is the competent authority.All their contact details are on the website. You can

    seek their guidance on the phone also.

    There are 26 documents out of which 10 are the

    basic ones required. The chief minister has

    constituted a committee to see how these can also

    be minimised," he emphasised.

    Policy matters analysed

    Amin Patel, MLA, underlined

    the fact that government has

    made massive changes in the

    development control (DC) rules

    and come out with policies, tomake things easier for buyers

    and housing societies. "A

    regulatory authority has been

    set up for this purpose. For

    redevelopment, society members get 35% fungible

    FSI free of cost. Redevelopment enables society

    members to get bigger flats in a new structure with

    amenities as well. In Mumbai, we cannot go

    horizontal , so we have to go vert ical .

    Redevelopment gets you an earthquake-resistant

    structure with sufficient parking, amenities like agymnasium, etc. Moreover, there will be no need to

    repair the structure for the next 25-30 years," he

    said.

    New ordinance implications

    Madhukar Choudhari, IAS,

    commissioner for co-operation

    and registrar, co-operative

    societies, shared perspectives

    on the new ordinance regardingc o - o p e r a t i v e s o c i e t i e s ,

    explaining that each state had

    different laws relating to it.

    Many states had not amended their laws, so the

    government came out with this ordinance.

    Maharashtra's contribution to the co-operative

    effort is unmatched. As per the new ordinance, the

    maximum number of committee members can be

    21.

    There are totally five reservations in thecommittee; two of which are for female members.

    Elections should be held in a free and fair manner.

    Societies can conduct unopposed elections and

    save money. The election commissioner for co-

    operative housing societies is the authority but he

    would be required only in large housing societies

    with over 200 members, he clarified.

    DNA has been organising this

    series every year for the past

    three years. I really congratulate

    DNA for this sustained effort.

    Societies who apply for deemed

    conveyance should not be

    harassed. I feel that all societies

    should take advantage of this opportunity to get

    deemed conveyance during the chief minister's

    stipulated period. Developers have played a key

    role in Mumbai's development. Redevelopment can

    increase the supply of new homes and this will help

    to bring the prices down.

    Sanjay Nirupam, MP

    I thank DNA for creating this

    interactive platform. The

    questions people are asking

    here are already answered by

    the government but there was

    not enough awareness. The

    government has a limited role toplay in redevelopment, just to

    make the laws and enforce them. In redevelopment,

    it is important to ensure that a few members do not

    hold the entire society to ransom. Be careful while

    selecting the developer. Keep in mind that it has to

    be a win-win situation for all concerned.

    Amin Patel, MLA

    Policy perspectives from expertsDignitaries at the DNA Property Redevelopment Conference-cum-Exhibition highlightedthe aspects that need to be kept in mind

    What emerged from the deliberations at the DNAProperty Redevelopment Conference-cum-

    Exhibition last weekend, was that two aspects are

    essential for redevelopment, namely conveyance

    and following the guidance circular. The

    government has laid down certain guidelines so

    everything should be followed systematically as

    per those. The most important thing for a society

    member is safety, the knowledge that they will get

    their apartment back after redevelopment takesplace. For this they need a good developer, they

    need someone who can be a guiding force.

    Redevelopment also offers opportunities to

    optimise space utilisation, have better amenities

    and enhance safety standards missing in old

    structures. These were some of the key guidelines

    and recommendations from dignitaries during the

    event.

    This is an excellent concept by

    DNA. I really thank DNA for

    organising this two-day session

    on property redevelopment

    issues. All stakeholders need to

    collectively take responsibility

    and take this process forward.

    With redevelopment you can get a larger house by

    paying a nominal higher amount. Regarding the

    corpus fund of society, new members can be asked

    to bring in an equal amount, it will solve the

    problem of existing and new members.

    Gopal Shetty, MLA

    I congratulate DNA for this

    conference. The government

    needs to take a holistic view. The

    land cost is going up, stamp duty

    is also going up. The planners

    and government must get

    together and find a solution.

    MHADA should take up a cluster

    and redevelop it as a role model. I have requested

    MHADA to allow single building housing societies

    to redevelop without demanding housing stock.

    The chief minister should direct the authority in the

    registrar's office to clear applications.

    Subhash Desai, MLA

    The two-day session on property

    redevelopment organised by

    DNA should give those attending

    it some food for thought.

    Hopefully, it will help societies

    get out of the rigmarole oft i m e l e s s b a r g a i n i n g a n d

    litigation. From the quality of construction to when

    should they vacate, when will they get their new

    home back, these are questions being faced by

    society members and tenants when it comes to

    redevelopment. There is no need to vacate your

    premises until everything is in place.

    Subodh Kumar, former commissioner, MCGM

    As per the new ordinance,

    societies need to hold electionsevery five years, or else the

    managing committee lapses.

    Only 'active' members who

    attend meetings are eligible to

    vote. Inactive members, who

    have not attended a single

    meeting for five years, are not eligible to vote. The

    societies must hold their annual general meeting

    within six months from the end of the financial year.

    Discretionary powers are no longer with the

    government.

    Madhukar Choudhari, IAS, commissioner for

    co-operation and registrar, co-operative

    societies

    I am very happy to see so many

    people at this DNA Property

    Redevelopment Conference-

    cum-Exhibition. It is important

    for societies to get the land title

    transferred in their name. Asp er t he n ew o r d i n an ce ,

    societies are not exempt from

    following the circular on redevelopment. Once they

    get the land title in their favour through deemed

    conveyance, societies can go in for redevelopment,

    get additional area and a corpus fund as well.

    Subhash Patil, district dy. registrar (DDR-3)

    T h i s D N A P r o p e r t y

    Redevelopment Conference-

    cum-Exhibition is a good concept.

    There are a lot of people in the

    audience who want to get clarity

    on redevelopment norms forprojects on MHADA plots,

    especially when it comes to the FSI angle. The

    premium option has been discontinued so now it is

    felt that benefits to societies have been reduced.

    There is more scope in the case of cluster

    redevelopment where societies get together and

    redevelop.

    Anil Rathod, deputy engineer

    redevelopment cell, MHADA

    In Mumbai, societies first go infor repairs, then reconstruction

    and now, redevelopment is what

    they opt for. There are 16,502

    buildings built prior to 1940,

    which need to be redeveloped.

    After redevelopment, if 40-50%

    of the outgoings are taken care of

    from the corpus fund, it will be easier for existing

    members to sell their flat and get higher value for it.

    Many societies spend up to two years just goingthrough the process under section 79(A).

    Societies except women category)

    7) There will be a Dispute Redressal Committee

    Consisting of 3 members of the Society who

    will hear the parties and dispose of thecomplaint within 3 months of filing the

    Complaint.

    8) The societies can co-opt two members as

    Expert directors who will not have voting

    cannot become office bearers.

    9) The societies can take Functional Directors

    office.

    12) For every default, the Registrar can levy

    penalty ranging from Rs.5000/- to Rs.15000/-depending on the failure to comply with the

    provisions of law.

    1. Empower the active members. Conscious

    effort is being made to prevent non-serious

    participants from participating in voting and

    decision-making, so that active members can

    exert greater influence. (i.e.. sympathizers, and

    non-active members who do not attend

    meetings and do not utilize the minimum

    services of co-operative societies)

    2. Eliminate non-serious participants. A

    mandate is given to expel totally dormant

    officer or interim committee, who will have

    to manage the affairs of the society and bring it

    back on track.

    4. Have regular education & training to groom

    MSWAs Housing Societies Review 28 March 2013

    undergo education and training at least once in

    five years.

    6. Stop washing dirty linen in public, keep

    disputes at home. To reduce the numbers of

    disputes reaching co-operative court and

    other judicial forums, and to enable members

    of co-operative societies to try to resolve their

    internal differences easily, painlessly and in

    the spirit of compromise, a Grievance

    Redressal Committee has been mandated.

    7. Courts to encourage Win-Win solutions,

    and avoid Win-Lose solutions. Duty has been

    cast on Co-operative Court to try and resolve

    problems through arbitration, negotiation and

    compromise, rather than in a typical court-like

    fashion.

    8. Co-opt experts & professionals, make

    management efficient. There is a clear

    mandate to adopt modern methods of

    management, record keeping etc. and to

    involve professionals in running co-operatives.

    9. Strengthen Audit function. Auditors and theaudit process has been more clearly defined,

    and a duty has been cast upon the auditors,

    Registrar etc. to pinpoint responsibility for

    fraud, misappropriation etc. and to register

    FIR against those responsible.

    10. More realistic penalties for offences. For

    various criminal offences under this act, the

    amounts of fine and prison sentences possible

    have been substantially increased.

    Considering the various obligations made on the

    members of the society and also on the Committee

    members, it is very important for every society to

    appoint a trained managers. MSWA has designed a

    Housing Society Managers Course of 3 months.

    The training will be done on every Sunday from

    10am to 1pm at Association office or at Dadar

    depending on number of participants.

    We have experienced faculties like retired registrar,Advocates, chartered Accountants who have

    worked in the Housing Societies Management.

    The course fees is Rs.10,000/- inclusive of notes

    and study material. The same can be paid by the

    societies. Even the office bearers of the society or

    any member of the societies interest to know the

    Big Changes in Co-operation Sector have happened!

    Dear Co-operative Readers,

    I am happy to place before you this based on a quickth

    analysis of 97 Constitutional Amendment andthe latest Maharashtra Co-operative Societies

    (Amendment) Ordinance, 2013 dated 14.2.2013.

    Cooperative Societies is a State subject under Entry

    32 of the State List of the Seventh Schedule of the

    Constitution. Accordingly, each State has enacted

    its own Cooperative Societies Act. Since

    Independence, cooperative movement has grown

    significantly with an extensive network of

    cooperative societies and enterprises all over the

    country. These cooperatives are functioning in the

    sectors of housing, agricultural credit, agricultural

    inputs, marketing of agricultural produce, storage

    and processing of agro produce, urban credit,

    production of fertilizers, dairy, fisheries,

    handlooms and handicrafts, etc.

    However, in spite of numerical expansion in

    different economic sectors, their performance in

    qualitative terms is not upto the mark. Many co-

    operatives are not being managed on principles of

    democratic member control and professional

    management. Some are heavily dependent on

    financial support from the Government, which has

    led to intervention in their day-to-day functioning

    and also political interference.

    Government of India has been striving to evolve an

    appropriate legislative framework to create an

    environment for healthy growth of cooperatives.

    However, the pace of reforms in cooperative

    legislations by the States has been slow. Therefore,

    it was felt necessary to make certain provisions in

    the Constitution to provide protection to

    cooperatives and to reduce political and

    bureaucratic interference. The need for such

    changes was endorsed by the Conference of State

    Cooperative Ministers held in December, 2004.

    Accordingly, the Constitution (One Hundred and

    Sixth Amendment) Bill, 2006 was introduced in

    Fourteenth Lok Sabha on 22.5.2006. After it lapsed,

    the Constitution (One Hundred and Eleventh

    Amendment) Bill, 2009 was introduced in the Lok

    Sabha on 30.11.2009. The Parliamentary StandingCommittee held discussions with various

    stakeholders in the field of cooperatives, and

    presented its Report to Lok Sabha on 30th August,

    2010.

    The suggestions made by the Standing Committee

    were examined by the Union Agriculture

    Department and Ministry of Law and Justice, and

    after due process, passed by Parliament on January

    13, 2012.

    thThe object of the 97 Constitutional Amendment is

    to ensure that the Cooperative Societies in the

    country function in a democratic, profession,

    autonomous and economically sound manner. The

    amendment has empowered the Parliament in

    respect of multi-state Cooperative Societies and the

    State Legislatures in case of other Cooperative

    Societies to make appropriate laws concerning:

    a) Right to form Cooperative Societies as a

    Fundamental Right by insertion of the words

    'Cooperative Societies' in sub clause (c) of

    clause (1) of Article 19.

    b) Insertion of Article 43B in part IV of the

    Constitution as Directive Principles of State

    Policy for voluntary formation, autonomous

    functioning, democratic control and

    professional management of Cooperative

    Societies.

    c) Provisions for incorporation, regulation and

    winding up of cooperative based on the

    principles of democratic member-control,

    member- economic participation and

    autonomous functioning;

    d) Specifying the maximum number of Directors

    of a Cooperative Society not exceeding twenty-

    one members;

    e) Providing for a fixed term of five years from the

    date of election in respect of the elected

    members of the board and its office bearers;
