1. Yes.

2. You can transfer the membership. 

Society should transfer flat in name of purchaser since stamp duty and registration charges have been paid on sale deed 

society is not concerned with valuation of property 

Yes

Yes, if the seller of the flats has paid all maintenance charges and transfer fees of the society and there is nothing balance than society can transfer title ownership on buyer name and share certificate as well. Because as per the Indian registration act and tht transfer of property act the title of ownership has got transferred from seller to buyer's name.

Yes it can transfer the ownership. The registrar will register a sale deed when it is presented before it. Although he was residing from 2011 he registered it in 2017 and due penalty was also paid. Hence it is justified and legal.

The buyer and the seller have both disclosed the previous notarized agreement and have now registered the property as per the 2011 rates. The registrar has accepted the same. You should also accept it.

1. Yes they need to

2. Yes it's teneble

Yes.

Whether stamp duty levied on 2011 rate is not concern of Society. And delayed sale deed registers on purchase price with penalty and not on present date.

SHOULD WE ACCEPT THE SAME & TRANSFER THE MEMBERSHIP -- YOU HAVE TOO. 

1. Typically under the cooperative laws, the Society is concerned only about the "Transfer of Membership" AFTER receiving the certified copy of the stamp duty paid & registered sale deed (which is under the "Transfer of Property Act") alongwith the prescribed membership Transfer Forms and all fees related to membership transfer.

2. Since the competent authority (who is also a Constitutional Authority) as far as Stamp Duty and Registration Fees is concerned, his order (registration) is Final & Irrefutable and deemed compliance of all the laws etc.... applicable on date of registration, and this is irrespective of valuation of property, at his discretion.

3. You are advised that there is nothing illegal & unauthorized in the facts mentioned by you and membership can be duly transferred AFTER approval of the committee members, BUT subject to no outstanding dues against the Flat.

1. Yes absolutely.  With the completion of sale by execution and registration of the sale deed the society is free to transfer the membership. 

2. It's the duty of the Registrar to see whether required stamp duty is paid or not.  Even if it is not then also you can not intervene. 

You have no authority to dispute a registered sale deed. 

1. If an individual purchased the flat from the flat owner by a registered sale deed, then he is entitled to transfer the share certificate to his name from the name of the seller.

Therefore there is no question of denial to his application for transfer of share  certificate to his name.

2. You, rather the society is not the authority  to question about the stamp duty, it is the duty of the registrar.

You have to confirm that if the owner of the flat is having a original registered sale deed on his name executed by the previous member of this association.

What is your botheration about the valuation of the property or the stamp duty that has been paid by the owner for registering the property.

You are to confirm that if the property was duly registered on the name of the owner by the competent authority, if it is confirmed you can go ahead to transfer the share certificate to his name from the previous member after the new member complies with the necessary formalities as envisaged in the bylaws of ther association.

You should accept the same and transfer the flat in name of buyer 

In my view the 2011 document cannot be registered in 2017 at all

Because under the registration act a document which is signed by the parties has to be presented for registration within 4 months of signing and if there is a delay and document is presented after 4 months then it can still be registered if the delay does not exceed further 4 months. The party has to pay penalty for delayed registration which is upto 10 times of the registration fee

Thus as per the registration act a document which is signed can be registered maximum within 8 months subject to payment of penalty as above alongwith the normal registration fee

So if this is the law then how can the 2011 document be registered 6 years later in 2017??

I think the parties executed a fresh sale deed in 2017 because the 2011 document is not registrable at all

As regards the stamp duty, in Maharashtra the rule is that if the sale deed is unregistered then the property has to be valued NOT on the basis of the rates prevailing when it was signed  but on the rate when it is sought to be stamped and registered. 

If there is an agreement for sale (which is different from a sale deed) and if such document is not stamped and given for stamping several years after its signing then the stamp duty is computed considering the rate prevalent on the date of signing and penalty is levied. If this agreement for sale is unregistered and a sale deed is not made and registered then despite the agreement for sale  being stamped subsequently with penalty, the sale deed would attract stamp duty computed as at present date from which the duty paid on the agreement for sale is deducted and  balance  duty becomes payable. The liability continues till the sale deed is registered. I think Delhi has a similar rule. But that needs to be ascertained from a local lawyer 

But Registration act is a central act and applies to all states. So I am not able to understand how the sale deed signed in 2011 came to be Registered in 2017!

But that also needs to be ascertained if there is any amendment made to registration act by the Delhi legislature as regards the rule of registering the document max within 8 months of its signing

First check the term eligibility for membership / membership in your bye law .Also check what are the rules or preconditions to transfer flats?

A member of a housing society who has sold his plot or flat on agreement for sale or by sale deed shall cease to be a member of that society from the date of the sale of plot or flat.

Provided that the purchaser having registered agreement for sale or registered sale deed, as the case may be, in respect of such plot or flat, may apply for membership by paying transfer fee of five hundred rupees and share money and admission fee as per the provisions of the bye-laws of the society and the committee shall grant membership to the applicant within thirty days after the submission of his application. In case of refusal by the committee, the applicant may appeal to the Registrar within thirty days and the decision of the Registrar shall be final.

Please do understand that housing society has no role in sale of flat and society is not the authority to question about the stamp duty of sale deed. If you got an application from seller (Owner of the flat) and buyer of Flat , it is your duty to transfer the membership from existing owner to new buyer .

if purchaser executed registered sale deed and other documents are clear then society should transfer flat in the name of purchaser. 

1. Yes society can transfer the membership on name of current owner.

2. Yes it is tenable in eyes of law. 

1) Yes.

2) Yes it is tenable in the eye of law.  Each transfer has to be registered by paying stamp duty and registration charges

1. Since there is already Sale deed in favour of the said purchaser and the possession is given to him , then the society is bond to transfer the membership to him legally .
