Respected Sir,
My mother has gifted me a self acquired property flat situated at Mulund ,Mumbai . We have registered the gift-deed on August 2010. Also we have submitted all relevant documents ie. Gift-deed , resignation of present member, Transfer forms etc. to the society Secretary . The secretary is demanding Rs. 25000 as a Transfer premium & Rs 25000 donation to complete the transfer request.
We have brought to their notice that ,the transfer is between mother & son and as per Bye laws Transfer premium & Donation is not payable ,The same we have conveyed thru a Reminder- I letter to the society .They have acknowledged with a remark “will discuss this issue in comitte meeting”
After waiting for 3 months they verbally told us that “ There is no Transfer premium required to pay ,but only Donation Rs. 25000 needed.” We finally sent a letter to the society that , it is already 3 months period is over and there is no action or reason given from your end about our Transfer. As per Bye law I am a deemed member of society. The secretary acknowledged with remark “the issue will be discussed in Sp-AGM “. The sp. AGM held in the month of March 2011 ,where they have decided to complete the Transfer of another member’s Gift deed ( within family member) who has already paid Transfer premium & Donation Rs 25k + 25k to the society , And keeping Hold on our Transfer.
It is almost 8 months passed on our Transfer proposal now . We are now in the process of issuing a Dy. Registrar notice to the society.
In the whole process my mother Aged 79 yrs & my family is being harassed mentally due to corrupt practices followed by the secretary and other committee members they are misleading us.
Sir, my querry to you is ,
1) Society is taking emotional advantage of my aged mother ,as not allowing me to talk or Handle the case on behalf of my mother , as per them I am not a member.
We have also submitted the Associate Member form to the society , but still they are misleading us by keeping on Hold.
What further action can I take ?
2) I want to teach a permanent lesson to Sec. & chairman in terms of Penalty from their pocket.
As a consumer what can I do further?
3) What steps you suggest me to take in future also to deal with such rigid & arrogant Secretary / chairman.
Thanks & Regards
