The answer lies in Bylaw No 38 of the 2013 model society bylaws framed under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960, read with circular dated August 9, 2001, issued by the government of Maharashtra.

The aforesaid Bylaw No 38 and circular dated August 9, 2001, unequivocally state that the premium fixed by the society for the transfer of flats, cannot exceed a sum of Rs 25,000.

The same law is applicable to Gujarat state also.

Let the society refuse to return the same citing any local bye law, you can approach the registrar of cooperative societies to intervene and render you justice by directing the society to return the excess amount charged from you.

If bye laws contain clause that society can charge transfer charges and development charges society can recover the same from you 

1. First of all you should ask secretary to provide you copy of bye laws under which they have charged you transfer charges and development fees. 

2. Society can ask you to pay transfer fees but not development charges.

3. You should file case against society in consumer forum for refund of money paid to them under the head of development charges. 

You can file complaint to Cooperative Registrar. 

firstly you can ask bye laws certified copy from society and check whether it is mention in bye laws or not. if bye law contain clause then you are liable to pay. 

File a case before Registrar Cooperative Societies with the help of local lawyer practising in Cooperative law.  If possible, talk to the other members who are facing the same problem and challenge the bye law  jointly also which is arbitrary and illegal.  In this way, the litigation charges will be shared and it would be a support to you.
