• Is society responsible to mention about litigation on the flat in Mortgage NOC

Hi,

There is suite filed against our society by a previous landowner claiming that the society has used more loan than he has sold to the society.

Members want to sell the flat and we fear that the society has to inform the bank about the suit/litigation in Mortgage NOC.

We want to know that is it mandatory for the society to inform bank regarding the suit?

When you approach bank for loan the lender wants an NOC from society that title is clear and marketable and that there are no pending litigation against society 

 

society has had to give its NOC for sale of flat by the member 

 

society cannot suppress material facts from the lender

It's not mandatory but concealing the said fact should not affect the interest of the bank

The society in its NOC may make a mention about the subsisting mortgage or pending litigation against the property to which it is furnishing NOC now.
