Information regarding Share Certificate of Housing Societies

Information regarding Share Certificate of Housing Societies
  • Share Certificate is one of the most important documents issued to the members of the Co-operative housing society
  • As per Model Bye-laws# 9(a): A Share Certificate, prescribed in bye-laws, bearing distinctive number and indicating the name of the Member, the number of shares issued and the value paid there on, shall be issued by the Society to every Member for the shares subscribed by him, within a period of six months of the allotment of the shares.
  • In Maharashtra, societies are governed by Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. This Act provides the rules and regulations governing Cooperative Housing Societies also.
  • Total Authorized Share Capital of a Co operative Society is fixed by Registrar of Co op Societies at the time of registering the Society. This share capital is divided into shares of Rs 50/- each.
  • After the amendment to the byelaws in 2014, in cooperative housing societies in Maharashtra, each member has to pay for 10 shares, which is the limit of his share in the liability of the Society.
  • The paid up capital of the society need not always be equal to the authorized capital as the latter is kept higher, for future eventualities. Thus, a member owns 10 shares in the society, for which the society issues a share certificate, giving details of the name of member, the premises no., share certificate no., and the distinctive nos. of the shares and the amount paid (Rs. 500).
  • Thus, share certificate no. 1 will be for share nos. 1-5, share cert. no 2 for shares 6-10 etc. This certificate is the only proof of the ownership of the premises by the member, as in Maharashtra, all premises are owned by the Societies and the flats are allotted to members on the basis of share certificate only.
  • However, it is advisable to issue a consolidated single share certificate to members, by taking back the original certificate – to avoid its misuse by members.
  • In this case the share certificate shall reflect 2 parts – one, information about the original share certificate, old distinctive numbers etc, and two, the new additional 5 shares issued to him with the new series of distinctive numbers for these 5 shares.
  • The Name & order of appearance on the Share Certificate will be exactly the same order as appearing on the Sale Agreement.
  • No change in the share certificate shall be done without following due process of law including spelling mistakes in Sale agreement reflected similarly in Share certificate
  • When the Share certificate is issued to Member, Society has to ensure there is not liability on the property in such a case the Share Certificate will be maintained at Society Office or the Financial Institute, which has lieu against the Property.
  • In case of sale/transfer, Share Certificate shall be surrendered to Society office along with other forms & documents (Bye-laws 38(e)(i)) 
  • After proper Society procedure & process is completed share certificate is transferred in name of the buyer from the seller and thereafter the seller has no right in the premises, as he ceases to be a member of the Society.
  • The share certificate has to be retained by the owner of the premises, as his membership is dependent on that.

As per new Bye-laws 2014, each of the premises, irrespective of the area or type of the premises, should be issued ten shares of Rs 50 each, in one share certificate.

When share certificate is issued, signature of the share holder or first share holder (if share is held by more than one person, by virtue of buying the flat by joint agreement) is taken on the back of the share certificate's counterfoil, with date.

When share is issued for the first time as above, its entries are also made for the first time, in the I-form and J-form (books) of the society, in the name/s of original buyer/s of the flat.

When such original buyer sells the flat, subsequent buyer's name is written on the back of share certificate, and such change is entered in the I-form and J-form of the society.

Every time, when sale of flat takes place, there is no change made in the share certificate's counter foil, or new share certificate is not issued in place of old certificate, but its entry is made only on the back side of the original share certificate, and its changed new entries are made in the I-form and J-form of the society. 

In all cases of transfer of flat, name of the original flat holder continues to remain present on front side of the share certificate, at all the times.

When the flat is sold, share certificate is transferred in the name of the buyer, after passing the transfer in the monthly meeting of the Managing Committee, and not in the AGM of the society.

AGM of the society just conforms the name change of the flat name by the committee, during the period between last AGM and present AGM of the society.

It is just a formality to know the members of the society, who are the new members of the society, by replacing the existing members, either by sale or by gift or by death.

As you say, there is no cashbook folio for the transfer of the society's share for the buyer of the flat.

For transfer of a new flat in the name of the new buyer, buyer of the flat has to fill in and submit forms, and fees as below:
(1) Appendix-2,
(2) Appendix-3 (on Rs200 Non-judicial stamp paper),
(3) Appendix-25(2) (on Rs200 Non-Judicial stamp paper),
(4) Xerox copy of the Index-2 of your sale deed,
(5) Rs500 cheque for share certificate and
(6) Rs100 cheque towards entrance fee. 

Within 30 days of submission of above documents along with the fees as stated above, by the original buyer/s to the society, original buyer will be issued original share certificate in the name of the buyer/s, and an intimation of the membership letter in form Appendix-26.

A resale buyer of the flat, has to fill in and submit to the society following forms:
(1) (by seller) Appendix-20(1) and Appendix-21
(2) (by buyer) Appendix-20(2) and Appendix-23
(3) (by buyer) Appendix-3 (on Rs200 Non-judicial stamp paper),
(4) (by buyer, jointly with the seller) Appendix-25(1) (on Rs200 Non-Judicial stamp paper),
(5) Xerox copy of the Index-2 of buyer's sale deed,
(6) Rs100 cheque towards entrance fee,
(7) Rs25,000 cheque for transfer premium. and
(8) Original share certificate, which is in seller's name, to transfer it in the buyer's name by Society.

Within 30 days of submission of above documents along with the fees by the resale flat buyer/s to the society, resale buyer will be issued the share certificate (which is given to the society by the buyer) transferred in the name of the buyer/s, duly endorsed on the backside of the share certificate by the society along with an intimation of membership letter in form Appendix-26.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Whether for getting the new share certificate or for getting transferred share certificate, if buyer of the flat or first named buyer of the flat has no independent income source, then intended member has to submit an undertaking on Rs200 Non-Judicial Stamp Paper, in the from In Appendix-4, from an earning member, who is ready to bear the cost of Society's dues for the flat to be transferred in the name of the non-earning member.

Please note: All form's Appendix numbers, are as given in Appendices of the Bye-laws of year 2014.

  7. Hi

    Greetings !

    I purchased a MHADA Flat in mumbai from the first MHADA allottee. Sales registration was done long back. Due to Estate Agent's wrong information i never stressed on a share certificate. Once the REgistration was completed I asked the Estate Agent if we (seller & Buyer) had to go to Society or not for a share certificate and he said no need he would do the rest.

    Now society not issuing certificate due to below reasons
    1- First Allottee has not SIgned the share certificate till now
    2- To extract more money Seller not coming to Society office though he came in my absence after Sale deed was handed over to Society for transfer of documents and society accepted one plain letter from him saying i have to pay him more which is wrong
    3- MHADA already called the Seller and after that proceedings as per procedure MHADA transferred the flat in my name in their records and gave me a letter as my name regularised in their records


    Now i need Way out information if the first owner has not signed the share certificate then what is the procedure so no problem should come to me while marketing the property for loan or selling etc.

    Please feel free to revert for any clarifications if required.

  14. B.S.Kadam, June,19,2021.
    My daughter purchased two residential flats in a co-op Housing society in Neral, Karjat, Maharashtra on resale basis from the original buyers. Estate Agent misguided us saying that so far society is not formed , though fact was that society was formed & registered. Agent obtained NOC from Builder and sale Agreement got registered. All necessary transfer forms duly signed by both buyer & seller, along with all the required documents and cheques of Rs. 5,000/-, 500/- & Rs. 100/- each issued in the name of the society given to the society on 30-06-2018. Thereafter several reminders also sent requesting for transfer, nothing has happened. Managing Committee is not transferring those flats in my daughter's name saying that premium amount of Rs. 25,000/- each must be paid to the society. I informed them that our society is in a rural area, and transfer premium amount is 5,000/-each and not 25,000/- each. but they are not accepting. I obtained order from Asst. Registrar, Co-op societies, Karjat, stating that collect Rs. 5,000/- each as transfer premium amount and transfer the subject flats to her name. Due to Corona 19 pandemic they could not transfer flats to my daughter' s name , saying that it has to be put in AGM. When my daughter tried to give cheques for maint. charges they have refused to accept / returned saying that cheques to be issued by the earlier buyers (Seller). Now they are charging interest on maintenance charges from the date of issue of order i.e. 03-06-2019. Can they levy interest from the date of order as they refused to accept cheques for maintenance from my daughter.
    Please advise .

  16. Thank you share your blog, sell my house fast in Washington Apart from placing an inquiry about an agent or asking your relatives, checking the license would be a smart decision. Many fraud agents charge a hefty sum and offer poor service. This can be problematic for individuals who reside in other locations or have foreclosure issues. Hence, it is suggested to hire an agent whose license is up to date. For this purpose, you can visit the state’s real estate department website and search the agent’s name. This would also show disciplinary charges if any. You may contact us to sell my inherited house in Washington.

  18. Thank you share your blog, sell my house in washington When you take up the responsibility of selling your house on your shoulders, the task of finding a suitable buyer is entirely upon you. Adapting the right strategy might help you in shortlisting the best ones. For instance, you can accept offers on a first-come, first-served rule. However, the first offer you receive might not be profitable. Hence, you must meet more people and ask them to make the most realistic pitch. No matter which strategy you adopt, make sure you communicate everything to your buyers.

  37. This post is really nice and informative. Registering a business involves formally establishing it with relevant authorities. This process typically includes selecting a business name, determining the legal structure (such as sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation), and completing required paperwork. Registration ensures legal recognition, facilitates compliance with regulations, and may confer benefits like liability protection or tax advantages. Depending on the jurisdiction, registration requirements vary, but generally entail submitting documents to government agencies and obtaining necessary permits or licenses to operate.

  39. Have few questions:
    1) If share certificates are issued for parking spaces, are they legal & how to treat them if not cancelled & what is management committee's responsibility to get this corrected.
    2) Already share certificate is issued on one flat. Can additional shares be issued on same property again?
    3) If any scam is smelled, who to approach & how to get the documents of this transaction from the society?
