• Society formation

After getting occupancy certificate, builder has formed Condominium for our building with help of 8 to 9 members out of total 20 members/flats .Now majority of members are interested in Society. when we requested builder to form society, he says Condominium has been formed and he wants us to sign on apartment deed of declaration. I think about 8 to 9 members have done the signatures on apartment deed of declaration. Others have not signed this deed.
We want to form society and cancle apartment as it was against our choice. Also our agreement to sale has clause mentioning that apartment or society will be formed.

1. Now if all or the majority of the flat owners wants they can form association/society of such nature as he wants.

2. So forget what the developer got signature for any other body of flat owners by few of the owners and make your own.

3. once the society is formed it can take over management of the complex and start running it.

builder cannot force flat owners to agree to condominium

 

2) 

All flat owner should hold meeting and elect Promoter.All power for Registrations,documentation etc. should be given to promoter.The resolution should be passed and must be sign by all flat owners who wish to become member of the Co-operative Housing Society

3) purchasers can apply for registration of Co-operative Housing Society under Non Co-operation.In this case one of the flat owner should be elected as CP for Registration purpose.In this case some more time is taken to registered society as registrar is issue notice to builder for Non Co-operation. If no response then ex-party decision are taken for registration of the society..decisions is given by District Deputy Registrar [DDR] then society is registered

 

4) if registrar refuses to register society due to formation of condo minimum members who have not signed deed of declaration file suit and seek court orders to direct builder to form cooperative housing society

Move to court for getting a stay on operation of the builders society and to declare the society formed by the builder as illegal which would be unable to look after the interest of majority of members.

Hi,

You are suggested to form the society as per the law and ask the builder to co-operate and if he is denying to do so, serve him a legal notice.

The remaining members may refuse to sign the deed stating that you all wanted a society and not a condominium, let the builder put pressure on you people, you can take him to consumer forum for relief and remedy because the builder cannot take a decision on his own especially when the conditions are different to that of his actions now. 

The members can join together and issue a legal notice to the builder in this regard.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that builder has formed a Condominium, but he has forgotten that it may only be for some short duration.
  2. Eventually, there must be society for carrying out the difference functions with the area of society.
  3. To formulate rules for the peaceful environment and for residing without any inconvenience.
  4. You should approach the civil court of law after approaching/ or involving municipal authority as part of the suit seeking immediate formation of the society as formation of the same also mentioned in the agreement.

Since builder has executed deed of declaration it is better to proceed with formation of condominium

Condominium Declaration, also sometimes known as Master Deed, is a fundamental document that establishes the existence of and further governs the use .

 A document used by condominium developers to record the project;its division into condominium ownership;and the grant of common areas to the condominium owners.Also called the declarations,the condominium declaration,or the declaration of condominium.

Therefore there is no impediment to form, a condominium if all the owners consent to it.

1. Your original query says "builder has formed Condominium"

2. NOW you say "Can we go with formation of Condominium"

WHICH OF ABOVE IS TRUE.

3. Anyways, IF builder is ready THEN it is good enough and after registration & conveyance of property in favor of Condominium, builder will have no rights left, of any sorts.

Don`t even rely on builder. He will promise every thing now to settle, later will definitely violate the promise. Even after sale builder have no say and after formation of society, complete ouster of builder.

Supplementary deed is fine.

1. IF builder had earlier duly registered Condominium (irrespective of any clauses), THEN the same is final and binding on all flat owners. Now what is left is "rectification deed", by builder & involving all parties and settle amicably.

1. Mumbai HC, has upheld that once a Entity is duly Registered (means Society /Association /Condominium), THEN builder will NOT have any right, on balance /pending /future FSI, in any manner whatsoever.

2. Hence any clause contrary to above would be a violation of the Contract Act, MOFA & now RERA.
