Cooperative Society Law

Deemed Conveyance & MCS Act Disputes

Under the **Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (MCS Act)** and the **MOFA Act, 1963**, a developer is legally bound to convey the land title and the building structure to the registered Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) within 4 months of formation. When developers fail or refuse to do so, societies face major title hurdles.

At THE PHOENIX LEGAL, we specialize in securing **Deemed Conveyance** for housing societies through unilateral applications before the District Deputy Registrar (DDR) and subsequent registration procedures.
