1) you dont need society NOC for sale of flat

2) The model bye-laws framed by the state government under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act hold that a person does not require a no objection certificate (NOC) from the society at the time of transfer of a flat.

3) "Bye-law No 38 prescribes a list of documents required for selling a flat, but nowhere is it mentioned that the society's NOC is mandatory,

4) "If at all a transferor or transferee of a flat want an NOC from the society for their personal reasons, the society will have to issue it within a month of receiving the application

5) If a society refuses an NOC, the law requires it to give its reasons in writing."

1. To sell a property situated in a Society the NOC is not mandatory .

2. In other words without NOC from society the sale of a flat belonging to a member of the society is not bad if the other criteria of sale is fulfilled.

3. So if the society give NOC then it is alright. Else you can safely sell the same. There is no impediment in law.

4. if you really want NOC then you have to lodge complaint with the Registrar of the Society which is a time consuming affair.

You were supposed to possess the chain of link documents pertaining to the property you have purchased.

Since it is a registered document, you can get the certified copy of the same even now from the concerned registrar's office.

You get the copy and apply for NOC with the society, if they refuse to give after that also, you may start the legal process by first issuing a legal notice and then approach court for getting the same

If your title to the property is clear then you do not require the NOC to sell the property. You are free to execute the sale deed in favour of the prospective buyer.
