Co-operative housing societies me flat kharid-bikri sirf buyer-seller ka private deal nahi; society membership ka element bhi hota hai. Isliye members ko certain rights milte hain jab wo apna flat transfer karna chahein.
Typical rights include:
- Fair and non-discriminatory treatment – society arbitrary tareeke se “hume yeh buyer pasand nahi” bolkar block nahi kar sakti,
- Clear list of transfer fees, NOC requirements and pending dues,
- Reasonable timeline within which managing committee decision le,
- Access to bye-laws and previous resolutions.
Society genuine concerns raise kar sakti hai – like heavy arrears, litigation over title, or buyer ka obvious illegal/unsafe background. Lekin personal likes/dislikes, regional/religious bias, ya committee politics valid grounds nahi.
Member agar feel kare ki society unjustified delay ya harassment kar rahi hai, to wo registrar, cooperative court, ya consumer forum tak ja sakta hai – facts ke hisaab se forum choose hota hai.
Societies ko bhi yaad rakhna chahiye ki building jointly run hone ka matlab yeh nahi ki wo mini-dictatorship ban jaye. Rules sab pe equally apply hon, yahi co-operative spirit ka core hai.
