Maharashtra Clears Path For Deemed Conveyance Of Housing Societies
Many housing societies in Maharashtra still do not officially have their land titles transferred to them.
The government says it is starting steps to speed up this process.
About 60,000 to 70,000 societies are waiting for deemed conveyance.
A minister asked different government departments to work together.
Officials may record a society’s name directly on important land documents.
The plan is also meant to help societies rebuild their buildings themselves.
The government wants to provide tax relief and a 10% incentive for some redevelopment projects.
It also wants to fix tax and registration problems affecting some societies.
The Maharashtra government has begun expediting deemed conveyance for around 60,000 to 70,000 cooperative housing societies.
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule directed several departments to coordinate and simplify the title-transfer process.
Officials may directly record housing societies’ names on property cards or applicable 7/12 land records.
The government plans measures supporting self-redevelopment, including a 10% incentive and proposed 4% concession.
Officials were told to resolve continued non-agricultural tax collection for some MHADA societies and clarify Urban Land Ceiling flat procedures.
