Society transfer of flat to gift deed holders

Dear Form,

seek your help with the following.

We jointly held ownership of a flat and husband has transferred his share to the names of my minor son and  myself through a registered gift deed.

Please advise what forms have to be filled and submitted to the society for change of name on share certificate?

Do all forms have to be on stamp paper if yes, then what is the denomination of stamp paper?

What is the amount to be paid for transfer?

Is it mandatory to do this through a lawyer? Pls suggest cheaper options.

Thank you in advance.

As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding documents and procedure for transferring the flat by gift deed.

This will not apply to transfer of shares and interest of the transferor in the capital or property of the society to a member of his family, his nominee or his legal representative  after his death and in case of mutual exchange of flats amongst the members or a registered gift deed executed by the member. No objection certificate required under any law, an order or sanction issued by the government or a financing agency should be furnished The managing committee or the general body cannot refuse any application for admission to membership or transfer of shares and interest in the capital or property of the society except on the grounds of non-compliance of the provisions of the Act.

If the decision of the committee or general body meeting, on the application for the transfer of shares and interest in the capital or property of the society is not communicated to the applicant within three months of its receipt, the transfer application will be deemed to have been accepted and the transferee will be deemed to have been admitted as a member of the society .

Any transfer made in contravention of the Act, rules or the bye-laws will be void and will not be effective against the society. The transferee will be eligible to exercise the rights of membership on receipt of a letter in the prescribed form from the society.
