Frequently Asked Questions (कायदेशीर प्रश्नोत्तरे)

Important guidelines under Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960 and 2014/2019 Model Bye-Laws.

What is the difference between Primary, Associate, and Nominal Membership in a CHS?

Primary Member: Holds primary title, original share certificate, full voting rights, and right to contest elections (Form 1, ₹100 entrance + ₹500 share capital).

Associate Member: Joint owner or family member who holds shares jointly (Appendix 5/Form 10, ₹100 fee) and can attend meetings/vote with written consent of the primary member.

Nominal Member: Tenant (Licensee under Leave & License), caretaker, sub-lettee, or permitted occupant (Appendix 11, ₹100 fee). They have only the right to occupy the flat and possess no ownership rights, voting rights, or share in society assets.

Is Form 24 Nomination mandatory for all flat owners in Maharashtra?

Yes. Under Bye-Law No. 32 of Maharashtra Co-operative Housing Societies, every member must submit Form 24 in triplicate along with ₹100 fee. Filing a nomination ensures that upon the member's death, the Society can transfer the shares and interest to the nominated person without requiring legal heir succession certificates or lengthy court litigation. The nominee acts as a trustee for the legal heirs.

Can a Housing Society charge more than ₹25,000 as Transfer Premium for flat sale?

Strictly No. Under the Government of Maharashtra Circular dated 09/08/2019 and Model Bye-Law 38, the maximum transfer premium a housing society can charge is capped at ₹25,000. Charging any higher transfer fee, building donation, or development fee as a condition for issuing an NOC or transferring shares is strictly illegal under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act.

What is Appendix 11 and what are the rules for Occupants (इतर रहिवासी)?

Appendix 11 (under Bye-Laws 20 and 43(b)) is the application for Nominal Membership. When renting a flat on Leave & License, the tenant must submit Appendix 11 with the registered agreement and police verification. However, for Occupants (family relatives, guests, or company authorized employees) who do not have a registered rent agreement, the flat owner's written consent letter along with the stay duration is legally sufficient, and no registered agreement number is needed.

What is the time limit for the Managing Committee to approve membership applications?

Under Section 22 and 23 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, the Managing Committee must decide on any application for membership (Form 1, Form 10, or Appendix 11) within 3 months (90 days) of receipt. If the Society fails to communicate its decision within 90 days, the applicant is deemed to be admitted as a member by operation of law.

What is the procedure for Section 101 recovery against maintenance defaulters?

Under Section 101 of the MCS Act 1960 and Section 154B-29:
1. Society issues monthly maintenance bill with 21% interest for default.
2. If unpaid for 3 months, Managing Committee passes a resolution to initiate recovery.
3. A statutory 21-day Pre-Notice is dispatched via Registered AD post.
4. If still unpaid, Society files Application in Form U with the Assistant Registrar, who issues a Recovery Certificate having the force of a civil court decree for property attachment and auction.
