-  Under the Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, 1970, an alternative to a cooperative society was introduced ,  which provides for the formation of a condominium.

- Further , the buyers of premises in a condominium are called apartment owners who form an association known as an 'association of apartment owners. 

- Further,  even one person who owns the entire building can form a condominium, provided there are at least 5 apartments in the building.
- Further , the affairs of a condominium are managed by the board of managers, who are elected by the members of the apartment owners association , and the board also elects a president, vice-president, secretary and a treasurer as well. 
- Further, in a Condominium, the owner can give his apartment on lease or leave and license basis without the approval of the board of managers.

1. Yes , it means an association is formed . 

2.  After the registration of the association , you can apply to get the PAN card.

1. IF "Deed of Declaration" of Association is duly registered before the local Sub-Registrar of Sub-Assurances, THEN it is Final & Irrefutable and Association is Registered, for all purposes and nothing more remains to be done, in anyway, whatsoever, without any exceptions.  There is no separate registration required under MAOAct.

2. Apply for PAN card (also possible online) with Index-II of the registration document, which is legally sufficient.

(2) Simultaneously with the registration of the Declaration there shall be filed along with it a set of the floor plans of the building showing the layout, location, apartment numbers and dimensions of the apartments stating the name of the building or that it has no name, and bearing the verified statement of an architect certifying that it is an accurate copy of portions of the plans of the building as filed with and approved by the local authority within whose jurisdiction the building is located. If such plans do not include a verified statement by such architect that such plans fully and accurately depict the layout, location, apartment numbers and dimensions of the apartments as built, there shall be recorded prior to the first conveyance of any apartment, an amendment to the Declaration to which shall be attached a verified statement of an architect certifying that the plans theretofore filed, or being filed simultaneously with such amendment, fully and accurately depict the layout, location, apartment number and dimensions of the apartment as built.

The association is not formed by just registering the deed of declaration, steps to be taken for forming an association under the said act.

Form an association and get it validated from the registrar cooperative Societies office

The association can be formed under the Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act, (MAO) 1970. It is mandatory that at the time of the association formation all the owners of the apartments should be present at one place. It is mandatory that 7 or more members who are above 18 years are required to form an association.

These associations can be registered or unregistered. It is always better to have a registered apartment owners association as they can sue or defend any legal action and enjoy all the legal benefits.

  • The builder can register the association if all owners give power of attorney for forming an association.
  • The builder or the promoter submits the property to the purview of the MAO through the Deed of Declaration.
  • The builder sells the property (in parts) and has all the agreements registered.
  • The builder or the promoter conveys the respective parts of the properties & share of common areas to each purchaser through the Deed of Apartment.

Henceforth, the builder forms an Apartment Owners’ Association. And in case if the builder hasn’t registered his apartment, the owners can form the association.
