Many housing societies have been ignoring the crucial conveyance deeds, which are required to transfer the management of properties. This trend is prevalent more in the state of Maharashtra. In the state, there are over 1,15,172 housing societies. Of them, 71,444 did not have the conveyance deeds. Nearly, 60 per cent of the societies did not obtain the legal documents. Till December last year, proposals received for the issue of over 2,990 conveyance deeds.
Out of them, 2028 proposals have been cleared, according to cooperative housing department. Over 962, proposals have been kept pending. In this backdrop, the government of Maharashtra issued orders asking all housing societies to obtain conveyance deeds. It asked the housing societies to take the support of the Taluk offices and private federations and register their conveyance deeds.
It made it clear that at least 50 registrations of the conveyance deeds by the societies should be accomplished per month. The new building owners who registered their housing societies should obtain the conveyance deeds within four months of the registration. Otherwise, notices would be served on the societies.
