Transfer of Shares in Co-operative Housing Society: Maharashtra CHS Act
Can Society transfer the Share Certificate in the name of the nominee in spite of objections from legal heirs ?

By Advocate Sanjeev Kanchan

Posted on 10th July 2002 ( Provisions still Valid )

I would like to deal with the above query in detail, since similar problems are faced in many co-operative societies.

For instance, a person has been nominated as a legal nominee by the deceased member in the records of a co-operative housing society. The said deceased husband died in Bombay in 1999, leaving behind him his wife and his two adult sons. The sons have filed their objection with the society and requested them not to transfer the share certificate in the name of their mother, although she is the nominee of the flat as per the records of the society.

Section 30 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960 deals with the provision of transfer of interest which is as under :-
Section 30 (1) : On the death of a member of a Society, the society shall transfer the share or interest of the deceased member to a person or persons nominated in accordance with the rules. Or if no person has been so nominated, to such person as may appear to the committee to be the heir or legal representative of the deceased member. Provided that such nominee, heir or legal representative, as the case may be duly admitted as a member of the Society.

All transfer and payments duly made by a society in accordance with the provisions of Section 30(4) shall be valid and effectual against any demand made upon the society by any other person. Rule 25, for the purpose of transfer of his share or interest under sub-section (1) of Section 30, a member of a Society may by a document signed by him, or by making a statement in any book kept for the purpose by the society, nominate any person or persons. Where the nomination is made by document, such document shall be deposited with the society during the members life-time and, where the nomination is made by statement it shall be signed by the member and attested by one witness.

MCS Rule 25 – Section 3
Where a member of a society has not made any nomination, the society shall on the member’s death by a public notice exhibited at the office of the society, invite claims or objections for the proposed transfer of the share or interest of the deceased within the time specified in the notice.

After taking into consideration the claim or objections received in reply to the notice or otherwise, and after making such inquiries as committee considers proper in the circumstances prevailing, the committee shall decide as to the person who in its opinion is the heir or the Legal Representatives of the deceased member and proceed to take action under Section 30.

However, what is important is the section and not the rules and bye- laws in as much as the rules and bye laws cannot provide everything contrary to the section. It is very clear on the plain reading of the section that the intention and purpose of Section 30 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act is to provide for who has to deal with the society on the death of a member and not to create a new rule of succession. The purpose of the nomination to make certain that the person with whom the society has to deal on the death of a member. The society has to deal with the legal nominee who has been nominated by the deceased member on the records of the society. The purpose of this section is to avoid confusion in case there are dispute between the heirs and legal representatives and to avoid uncertainties as to with whom the society should deal to get proper discharge.

The society is not concerned with any kinds of dispute raised by any person whosoever, so for the transfer of membership of deceased member to his nominee is concerned. Nevertheless all the persons entitled to the estate of the deceased as per succession law applicable to them do not lose their right to the same, even after transfer of the shares in the name of the deceased member.

It is pertinent to note that transfer of any property including share of the society is not governed by the ordinary law but by the provisions of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, and the rules and bye-laws framed by the Society. However, the right of society to admit a person of its choice as a member cannot be exercised arbitrarily and so as to deprive person of his/her right to the shares or property of a deceased member.

The law does not give a right to the society to refuse membership to a person who is entitled to become a member. To repeat, a society has the right to admit a nominee of a deceased member of an heir or legal representative of deceased member as chosen by the society as a member. A member of the society will have to obtain relief in the normal court against such person and have his rights ascertained and declared, and thereafter apply to the society on the basis of the Court Judgement to make him a member of the society.

Whether nomination is will
From the requirements for making a nomination, one may feel that nomination is Will. But is reality the Nomination is not a Will. Will as nomination filed in accordance with the provisions of rule and bye laws in the prescribed form and general intention (which is must in the Will) is not to provide for succession after death of a member.

Status of a Nominee
The provisions of nomination is found in various Acts, for example, L.I.C., Provident Fund, Gratuity, but the nomination does not create any title or interest in favour of the nominee. In a recent case under the Insurance Act, the Supreme Court in SMT SARBATI DEVI versus SMT USHA DEVI reported in A.I.R. 1984 SC, 346 held that it does not confer any beneficial interest in the nominee and the other heirs can claim the amount in accordance with the law of succession governing them. Therefore as a principal as can very well say that nominee is mere trustee with whom society can initially or prima facie deal with and after the death of a member, all the heirs of the deceased member will have a right of succession to the property, and the nominee cannot exclude other heirs. In other words the provisions of ordinary succession law will not be affected by nomination.

In view of aforesaid facts and the judgement, it is simply clear that the society will have to transfer the shares in the name of the nominee, irrespective of any objection being raised by any other person unless and until the aid objections obtain relief in the normal court against the nominee and society. In my opinion the society has no alternative except to transfer the shares in the name of the nominee.

      • If Property Owner assigns three nominees and one of them is primary holder and allotmentt is as below ,

        Person “A” : 25 %

        Person “C” : 50%

        and mentions Person “C” will be first nominee as section 30 of Maharashtra Co-Operative Society Act.
        Then what are chances of Property Allotment after Owners deaths , will it Work as per Nomination form given to society Or still NOC requires of other two person before making chages to Agreement.
        Also what is power is Nomination form, if “WILL” Or property transfer not done of person.

  2. Yes, shares must be transfer to person or persons nominated according to rules by deceased person. There is no space of objection in this case. In case there is no person nominated then the law permits to transfer shares to legal representative. Legal representative have the right to take ownership of shares.

  3. IF a person has already transfered some shares on somebody’s name can he still make a will and through the will
    seek transfer of those shares, that are no more his , on a third persons name.

  4. if the number of nominees is more than one then who is entitled to get the share ? I have read below the form that irrespective of number of nominees , the first nominee gets all entire right of the flat of the society

    • If a Flat owner mother mentions all her three sons as Nominees in Nomination form with Society, with percentages of 1st son as 40%, 2nd son as 40 %, and 3rd son as 20 % then after death of the mother, whether Society will transfer flat and share certificate in name of only the 1st son, or all the three sons ?

  8. Very Informative.
    My Mother was the member with our Co-Op Indl Society. She has expired 10 years ago. About 15 years ago, She entered into a partnership with me , my brother and sister and we have operated the business ever since from this Firm. She has also nominated me along with my brother and sister in her nomination form as accepted by the society.
    Now after 10 years we have applied for membership as a nominee, and society has refused saying to get the Succession certificate and that the transfer cannot be done since we are applying 10 years late. The 97th A bye laws clearly state that the application should be made within 6 months, however there is no mention that transfer cannot be done if it is later than that. Please advise.

  17. Hey,
    My father died with a will under my name and nominated me as well in the society for the flat i reside in. The society isn’t ready to transfer the ownership name because my brother has asked them not to because he wants the share in this property. I double checked the will it has clearly mentioned that the property belongs to me. What should i do about the same ?

  18. Can you help me to find out a solution

    My mother hold a share certificate in a Mhdada’s co-op. Society in Vikhroli East. I want to add my name along with my mother in share Certificate. (Joint Owner) to get rights for election & Voting etc.

    it’s possible or not if yes, then how

  19. Can we keep our fiancé as a nominee while registration of the property.
    I am confused as still we are not married and cannot show any blood relation with him

  20. The situation is as below;

    Man buys flat in Mumbai.
    Leaves to work abroad. Leaving flat to be occupied by his mother and youngest brother.
    Man has 78% of shares. Youngest brother 22%
    Man returns after many years and dies in flat.
    Man had wife as his nominee.
    Wife wanted all 100% shares in her name with her children as nominees.
    Youngest brother of husband refuses but signs paper saying on his death all his shares will pass to the children of his eldest brother.
    Wife of deceased brother worried that flat will not be in her name. Wife is abroad. Children are abroad.
    Coudl someone be so kind as to point out the legal standing as you see it?

    • WIFE AS nominee 0f deceasedwould get 78% holding while brother keeps his 22%. I assume the house is in a CHS. If it is independent then too wife as successor would inherit 78% along with children as per Hindu law.

  21. Dear All,
    My Mother has died on 13th Dec, 2014 without making a nominee. Now we want the flat to be transferred in the name of my Father. Giving a NOC from all the family members. As per the By laws, Society shall publish an adv in the newspaper. Can Publish of Adv in newspaper may be avoided and can we submit the succession certificate to the Society in favour of My father? Because, i think society will demand succession certificate at the end. Please reply…

  22. Can a mother who has two sons who were stated as nominee for a residential flat on the society papers make a gift (of this flat) to only one son and thus remove the heir status of the other son without any consent from this son.

  23. My father died in 1989 . He had nominated my and and me in chs. The nomination is not challenged by my sisters in so many years. The share certificates are transferred on my mother and my names. Does it have any time frame to challenge the nomination?

  24. Respected Sir,

    I want to ask you a very critical question. I hope you would able to answer it.

    My husband owned a flat which is a “single Owner agreement” on my husband’s name. we have a child who is Minor. My husband neither made any will nor made a nominations in co op society. He had borrowed a home loan for our respective flat which had a insurance as well.
    after the death of my husband the loan is now waived off and the remaining dues have been paid by me (wife). But now the bank is denying me to hand over the original flat documents since my mother in law is a co applicant in that loan and who is against me. she does not want to give this property to me and my son.
    on other hand the society committee members are asking me to produce Bank Clearance.
    I have already submitted them my court marriage certificate,ration card , self declaration in news papers, receipt of loan closure but still it seems that they are managed and every time ask for different documents.

    So please advice me how should i cop up with…..Any Solution will help me a lot.

    Thanks
    Karishma

  29. Dear Sir/Madam

    Would appreciate your Advice. We have just received a Probate of a property which was in the name of a deceased member of a family. Since i am a Executor appointed as per the will. I have submitted these papers to the society secretary to process the transfer of membership. But the society secretary tries to delay the process stating that the property is under redevelopment process so he is not able to get the Society members or he is not able to talk to the Redeveloper for clearance of dues. I have infact told him atleast transfer the Membership and alter the same in the Share Certificate which is reluctant.

    Can you please advise me as per MCS Act in how many days the Society have to transfer the Membership in my name after receiving Probate Orders. If not done what should be my next step of action with the society?

    Your advise would be highly appreciated.

    • If the managing committee members are not convinced by the legal heirs, then it is always advisable to insist on the succession certificate which the legal heirs have to obtain from the High Court. Once the certificate is obtained the society office bearers shall be secured in transferring the flat.

  37. In our CHS we have a unique case, A flat was allotted by builder and purchaser never applied for membership of society, to make thing complicated he died without making will or any nomination. A legal heir is claiming the flat, what need to be done and what documents are required to admit the legal heir a member.

    • In my opinion if the builder has executed any agreement with the member or a allotment letter. Based on the registered agreement the society can take on record the legal heirs as members of the society, by putting a notice in two newspaper inviting any claims. If the society isnt convinced by the list of legal heirs representing the person who expired then the society should insist on the succession certificate.
      To register the legal heir of the person who hasn’t registered himself with the society, the society should insist on the registered agreement to prove the authencity.

    • If there are more nominees than one, the society has to transfer the shares either in all the nominees name or in the name of any nominee provided all the nominees mentioned in the nomination form has to give their consent for the same. Without the consent or No Objection form the nominees the society cannot transfer the shares in the single nominee name.

    My mother, the member , made a declaration in the prescribed Nomination form that after her death the share and interest should be transferred to me ,the first named nominee.
    With the referred declaration s backing and the fact of other nominee has expired, I made an application as if single nominee .
    The relevant forms mentioned in bye law hand book were filled in along with Indemnity Bond.
    Meanwhile, my sister s elder son has flashed a letter to the Society ( not to me ) requesting them to put his and his brother s name as Nominees.

    either ( I ) make a joint application with my relatives ,
    or ( ii ) produce a Succession Certificate from the Court.
    My queris —

However, all of a sudden the flashed letter to the Society.
    I am still ready to follow the normal Succession Law and pay all the dues to both of them on the occasion of gains from the flat in future.
    ( e ) Is Nomination is treated as Will and is it binding to continue Sister s sons in Nomination after her death ?

  42. My father had a flat in goregaon. He passed away in 2003 and the same was transferred to my mother who passed away in 2005.

  43. Man dies without having nominee. Society secretary has issued transfer of shares in wife’s name signed it and has given registration number. One member of the society has also signed the document. My concern is that there is space for the chairman to sign the document however the secretary says its not required. Will there be problem in future because of no signature of the chairman?

  44. My father had a flat in a Co-opertive Housing Society. My father expired this January. He had nominated me , and accordingly necessary documents, i.e Death Certificate, request letter to Society to transfer the flat to my name was submitted to the Society Chairman and the same has been reflected in the Share Certificate. I understand, that even though on the share certificate the ownership of the flat is registered in my name, i am only a Trustee for this flat, and not yet the complete owner. i.e. If and when i decide to sell this flat, i will not be able to sell this flat. The society informed me that i will have to complete a procedure known as a “Release Date” with the assistance of a lawyer. I have 2 sisters, and i am the only son. Can you kindly explain what this Release Date means, to complete the transfer of ownership of flat from a trustee to a owner.. Thank you, Regards

  45. Hi, We are having flat in thane and my father and I am the share holders. My father is live and wants to transfer his share in my name. When I raised this with society they want NoCs from my brother and sister and also affidavit from my father that I am the only child.

    Could you help is society demand is right

    • While your father is alive, he can what ever he wants with the property. Just because you too are a joint shreholder in the society doesnt mean you own the property jointly. Just by transfer shares in your name doesn’t make you a property owner and only property owners can be society members.

      However your father can execute a gift deed in your name and have your brothers sign as confirming parties to the same. But this gift deed will have to be registered and a nominal stamp duty to be paid.

      After this the entire property will be in your name. Needless to say you can tgen have the shares transferes in full to your name in society record.

  46. If the owner is decreased and he appointed 2 nominees where as 1nominee his wife who is alive and other 1is his son who is no more than…in this case…who will be the beneficial of share certificate…plz rply
