Society can legally demand the ownership transfer fee but can not demand any donation or furnishings indemnity bond or any declaration/undertaking.

If the requirements asked by the society is against the bye-laws, lodge complaint with the Registrar of the Societies.

What is the ownership transfer fee in case of Gift deed?

To my best known, the payment of premium is not applicable in case the flat has been transferred to a member of his family but the transfer fee of Rs.500/- shall be payable.

I respectfully differ with the opinion and advise of experts.
Cooperative Soceities Act / Rules governing the CHS are a State subject applicable on the issue. Bye-Laws adopted by the Society has to be in consonation with the Act and Rules passed by concerned State / UT Legislature.
Similarly stamp duty (for undertaking and declaration) is again a State subject, wherein none of the States / UT in India ask for Rs. 500/- stamp paper for either of the said document.
The author has concealed his / her identity and posted this question as "Anonymous", reasons best known to him / her only, hence do not deserve to be obliged by experts.

The demand of Managing Committee qua donation / transfer fees is invalid and illegal.

P. Venu (Expert) 03 January 2021
The ownership of the flat stands transferred on the execution of the gift deed and acceptance by the donee. The Society's role is limited to transferring the membership in the Society, based on the gift deed. You need to pay the prescribed fee and furnish documents as prescribed under the concerned laws and bye-laws.
