Following a massive rally organised by Maharashtra Societies Welfare Association (MSWA), a body working for the upliftment of housing societies, held at Dombivali against the unwarranted rules of deemed conveyance, cooperative minister Chandrakant Patil has said that his department was ready to look into the matter seriously, provided a proper submission was made before his department.
Mr Patil said, “People are free to raise their voice, but they should file proper submission to me. I will look into it whether deemed conveyance is being conveyed properly or not. And if not, then I will instruct officials and cooperative commissioner to look into the matter.”
Earlier, in a protest rally held at Dombivali, scores of protesters demanded to implement one window clearance, less paper work, nominal stamp duty etc. so that the concept of deemed conveyance could be implemented immediately with letter and spirit.
“The GR issued by the state government clearly states that to get the deemed conveyance, a society needs to provide as many as 12 documents. But the officials are pressurising society office-bearers to produce even 25 documents, that has killed the motive of issuing GR and granting deemed conveyance has become a dead dream,” said Ramesh Prabhu, chairman of MSWA.
While addressing the gathering MSWA’s spokesperson Sunil Sharma said, “In Mumbai and Thane, there are almost 45,000 housing societies awaiting deemed conveyance. Almost all of these buildings are 20-30 years old and are in dilapidated condition. They need urgent repairs or redevelopment.”
Only after executing the conveyance, the legal ownership of the land and the building is transferred to the society. Till such time the society only has possession rights without any legal right for re-development or any commercial benefit.
