In West Bengal, do I require permisson of registrar /deputy registrar of cooperative society to transfer/sell cooperative society resale flat ? Society is saying they have the full power and their approval is enough. I thought under section 142(1) of West Bengal cooperative society rules,1987 permission from registrar is required. Please clarify.
There is no requirement nor it has been mandated.
The provision of law what you refer may not be applicable to your situation.
1. There is absolutely no requirement to seek permission of Registrar or DRCS to sell one a flat situated in a a society.
2. However NOC of the society is required but that is no mandatory either.
3 At present West Bengal Cooperative Society Rules, 2011 is in force.
Firstly, the society where are you living, need to take permission if in case there is any clause in the society agreement.
Secondly, you can even move to straight away to the registrar to begin with the sell transaction as it is only who has full power to proceed with the transaction.
Thirdly, but, yes sometimes there are clauses in the society agreement also where you
Need to take their permission also otherwise no need to go for that.
Permission of society Registrar is not necessary in your case because the society has such power to give permission and thereafter get its approval from the society registrar by passing a resolution in General Meeting of the society. When a resolution is passed by the General Meeting of society and it is further authenticated by the registrar then the registrar will automatically validate all the decisions taken by the society.
Hello,
The recent rules are West Bengal Cooperative Societies Rules,2011, which nowhere mandates that permission from registrar/ deputy registrar is required for the resale of the flat.
Regards
For resale of the flat the NOC of the society is required for no dues outstanding and you as a legal owner of the flat and can sell and transfer the flat to the buyer of your choice.
Dear Client,
Conditional purchase of sale in not valid, after paying full consideration and execution of registered sale deed, buyer is absolute owner and any such restricted clause if any, is of no consequences. No such restriction section 142(1) of West Bengal cooperative society rules.
Same is upheld by Hon`ble Supreme Court, No permission required, sell by choice.
1. You do not require the permission of the Registrar to sale your flat in a Co-operative Society.
2. You shall have to obtain N.O.C. from the Society for selling the said flat which will be issued provided all your dues to the Society are cleared.
When society refuses to transfer the member can approach the Registrar under rule 142.

West Bengal cooperative society rules,1987 have been overruled by West Bengal cooperative society rules,1987.
Therefore Rule 131 of West Bengal cooperative society rules,1987 reads as under:
(3) (a) For the transfer of land or house or apartment a member shall obtain a written
consent of the society and before giving such consent the society shall satisfy itself
that –
(i) the transferee is eligible for being a member of the society;
(ii) the transferee has genuine need for residential accommodation;
(iii) the transferor has paid off his outstanding liabilities to the society or, the
transferee undertaken to take over such liabilities of the transferor;
(iv) the transferee formally applies for membership of the society with
requisite documents like copy of bipartite agreement of the proposed deal
of transfer and a declaration to the effect that he will submit a certified
copy of the registered sale deed to the society.
According to Rule 138. Transfer and letting out by members of a housing co-operative society:
(1) In all cases of transfer and letting out of land, house or apartment written consent of
the society shall be required;

Dear Sir,
Yes, in every State it is customary as well as lawful to get permission from the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies to sell the property.
What is the exact act and legal section I should refer to ? Thanks for clarifying my doubt.

You are worried about the permission to be obtained from registrar for resale of the property.
Though there is no such necessity, if you still believe it is required, what is the basis that you have come to this conclusion ?
If you have been misguided by anyone on this then you could have enquired about the relevant law also.
However when you make an application for certain requirement from an authority, you may have to mention the relief sought alone and you dont have to mention the relevant rule or law while seeking permission from an authority, they know the law for sanctioning the permission or rejecting it.
You simply submit an application mentioning your relief alone.
Please refer section 138 West bengal Cooperative Housing Society rules.
