  • Transfer of share certificate of flat if sold via SARFAESI act

I have bought a flat auctioned by bank under SARFAESI act .
i have duly registered the agreement with the registrar .
Now i approached the society to transfer the share certificate in my name , 
but they are asking for transfer set . ( bank was not inducted the member of society as they didn't pay the due. , but i cleared the dues of the old flat owner )
Transfer set requires the sign of the member of the society ( in this case the old owner ) , but i dont know where to find him , and legally bank was the owner , so i dont think the old owner can sign .

Now what should i do ?
Society has to issue me new share certificate or transfer the name in old share certificate ?
Should i give the society the transfer set without signatures.( but i find it risky )

Society has to transfer flat in your name by making endorsement in old share certificate 

 

2) you will have to pay transfer charges of Rs 25000 

 

3) since flat was purchased in auction signature of ex owner would  not be required

1. In flat auctioned by bank under SARFAESI act,  there is no need of the Seller parties signature of whatever.  The Banks "slae certificate" is legally sufficient for all purposes, including Transfer of membership.

2.  You have to submit Form no. 4, 21, 23 and Indemnity Bond (signed by you alone) and all the Relevant Transfer Fees to the Society, alongwith the copy of the Banks Sale Certificate.

3.   IF the society refuses to transfer membership, THEN file appeal before the local ward cooperative registrar, wherein you are 1000% to get success.

you only need to submit the transfer forms which are to be signed by transferee

as the transferor was a defaulter and his flat was sold in public auction, he cannot now sign the transfer forms, nor will it be easy to trace him

so i suggest you make an application to the DRT making the bank and society as respondent parties and seek direction from court to the society to dispense with the requirement of submitting the transfer forms which are to be signed by the transferor

1. The owner was the old or the defaulter of loan and not hr bank.

2. now there must be a provision if a person buys a property from court auction. 

3. So refer to the bye laws of the society. if it silent then produce the sale certificate issued by bank and apply for issuance of fresh share certificate.

4. Else lodge complaint with the Registrar of the society.

1.  There is no need of form 20(1) & Form 20(2) in case of Auction Properties, more so since the Society had earlier already marked the mortgage /lien on the members share certificate.

2.  The Bank's Sale Certificate is a irrefutable document and your affidavit has no value in front of the said sale certificate.

3.  There is no risk in signing or not signing or blank forms from anybody, due to the bank sale certificate.

1) you can submit an affidavit that you cannot submit the forms 

 20(1) , 20(2) , 21 as flat was purchased in an auction

Dear Sir,

If the Sale Certificate issued as per SARFAESI Act , the certificate is the proper document as to your ownership over the Flat which you have purchased in Bank's auction. There is no need of any paper / document. You convince this to the society.

The society has resolved your problem by making such affidavit.

So do no complicate the things further and file the same.

its safe to submit the required affidavit requested by society

in form 21, above signature of transferor (old certificate holder), you can write - 'not traceable, please see affidavit dated ________'

Property was mortgage with the bank and on default by owner, bank auctioned the property, virtually bank is actual owner. so bank official signature will endorse. No question of actual arise here, since no direct purchased from him, and even you find him, why will he sign for you. So leave space blank or bank endowment. 

Get it trasfer by anyhow, no effect o n your ownership.

1. The Bank is required t issue you a sale certificate which is enough for you to ask for the share certificate from the Society.

 

2. The said certificate can be registered and produced before the socety while claiming the share certificate.

1. You are not buying the property from the earlier certificate holder.

 

2. His property which was mortgaged with the lending bank has been taken possession of and sold to you by the said bank following SARFAESI Act,2002.

 

3. the Society is right in asking you to submit an affidavit affirming that you had purchased the said mortgaged property from the Bank  against the Sale Certificate issued to you as per SARFAESI Act,2002.

Since  the  bank  has  executed  the  registered  sale  deed to  your name  it  becomes  the  vendor  or  the  owner  of  the  property  you  bought.

You  can obtain a certificate from bank  to  this   effect and  also a  letter from  the  bank stating  that the property was  sold  under auction  the  signature of the original  owner  cannot be  obtained since he  lost his  title once  the  property was  acquired  by bank  as  part of  the recovery  action.

This  authentication should  enable  the  society to  transfer   ther share  certificate from  the previous owner to your name.

If  the  society  is  not  obliging  after this  also then you may  approach cooperative  court  for  direction  to  the  society in  this regard.

You  can  furnish any type  of affidavit  tht  the  society is  asking  you  to  furnish  for  this  purpose.

The  previous owner is   no  more  a  owner  when  the  bank has taken  over  the  possession  of  the  property, hence you may  leave  the  column blank  or gt it signed by the  bank
