1. Issue a duplicate share certificate in name of the original member and use the back side to enter the transfer details ie transferees

2. Society needs to take back the laminated certificate from the member so that it cannot be misused. Society may also destroy the same.

Public notice is necessary before duplicate share certificate is issued

One application by member is sufficient

Hi,

I understand that the original share certificate is still available. However, transfer cannot be endorsed on it. Therefore in this regard you may approach this issue in following way:

1. Surrender the share certificate;

2. The owner may be required to give an indemnity which will primarily say that if there is a claim i.e. ownership, dividend or otherwise with respect to the share certifcates, the owner will indemnify. In certain cases even indemnity is asked for.

3. Apply for duplicate shares.

Please note that generally duplicate shares Re issued for lost, torn or mutilated share certificates. Therefore, it is up to the society to consider the request as per its discretion. They may even stipulate certain additional conditions.

Assuming the share certificates were lost, the process would have remained same except the fact that along with the request to issue duplicate share certificate, the owner would have required to submit FIR copy evidencing the lost share certificate or an affidavit to this effect.

To reiterate, the above is a completely discretionary process in the hands of the society. At best, the bye laws may have some provisions with respect to the same.

Hope the above helps.

Regards,

See first of fall on engineering and technical issue there is a machine to remove lamination it works same way as laminating machine work . So it can be useful.

Further if by any chance lamination is not removed original owner shall apply for duplicate share certificate and on that transfer can be made. Further the original can be taken in custody and destroyed as to avoid misuse.

Good query

You can take an affidavit from the member where he will state that he is handing over the original share certificate for destruction since it's laminated and cannot be used for entering any future transfer details, in lieu of a duplicate share certificate. And that the concerned member after surrendering the laminated share certificate shall not claim any right thereto.

A public notice can be issued informing the public at large that in respect of xyz flat in the society, the share certificate attached thereto is being destroyed by society as it's laminated and in lieu thereof the society has issued a duplicate share certificate to enable making entry of transfer details. The original laminated certificate is being destroyed to prevent any misuse.

It is pertinent that the original certificate be destroyed since there would be custody issues. That is, if it remains with the society, then he would have the custody of that certificate and who would ensure that it's not misused by mortgaging for any loan, etc. Also the managing committee of society would keep on changing. So it's better to have it destroyed. Letting the certificate remain with the member is also not feasible even if he states in the affidavit that he won't use it for any purpose.

The charges for the above affidavit and public notice can be recovered from the concerned member

1) For new purchaser you have to issue new share certificate as society will be charging that new and old members transfer fees and society is going to earn from it . So the new name is applicable on that flat and transfer of ownership is done.

1. Resolve in the Committee meeting to confiscate the original Share Certificate (due to lamination reasons) and preserve on record and THEN further issue of New Share Certificate to the new member.

2. Take Indemnity Bond from new member, indemnifying Society for any future eventualities.

3. Issue New Share Certificate (duplicate) directly in name of new member, AFTER taking appropriate charges as may be decided by the committee members. Old & New Share Certificate shall have the same certificate & distinctive numbers.

4. No further paper-work /notices/ etc.... required.

The new purchaser is entitled to get the shares of the property transferred from the seller's name to him, if all other necessary formalities are duly complied with, then the society is bound to issue a share certificate in the name of new purchaser as per law.

You can issue a fresh share certificate.
