FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a housing society be formed before the building is complete?
A provisional or ad-hoc committee is sometimes formed earlier, but formal registration generally requires the prescribed minimum membership and documentation as per the Co-operative Societies Act.
Is conveyance mandatory?
Conveyance of land and building in favour of the society is an important step for legal ownership, subject to applicable state provisions and builder cooperation.
