Dear Experts,
Can a member of a cooperative group housing society transfer his share and interest to a person who is not a relative or family member. If yes, then how? Kindly guide.

That deed will be the gift deed if no consideration is involved and if the consideration is involved it is a sale.

I agree with expert Mr. Kavksatayanaryana ji to some extent, which would differ if share of member is under transfer to an outsider without transfer of title of the property.

In my understanding, share in the Society is coterminous with the ownership of the apartments constituting the Society. As such, it is inherent that for transferring share in the Society, the property ought to have been sold in the first instance.
