Complain against society to registrar
2) if no action is taken approach cooperative court for necessary reliefs
I reside in Kolkata and my mother owns an apartment in a co-operative housing society. Due to ill health, my mother decided to transfer the property in my name in the form of gift deed. We had informed the society in writing and also took their official consent (inwriting as well) that I am free to proceed with the legal formalities. Based on this, my mother and I executed and registered the gift deed. However after submitting the necessary documents like copy of the registered gift deed, the society is refusing to act on this matter and providing no reason for the same as well. Any communication from my side is left unanswered. Please let me know what is the next course of action from my end. Thanks

In this scenario, since the society is refusing to acknowledge the gift deed transfer without providing a valid reason, you may take the following steps:
Issue a Formal Notice: Send a legal notice to the housing society through an advocate, demanding that they take appropriate steps to record the transfer of the apartment in your name as per the registered gift deed. This will serve as a formal demand and a warning of potential legal action.
Approach the Deputy Registrar/Competent Authority: If the society continues to ignore your communications, file a complaint with the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies or the competent authority in your area. They have the power to direct the society to comply with the rules and recognise the transfer.
File a Writ Petition: If no action is taken by the society or the Registrar, you can file a writ petition in the High Court seeking directions against the society for their inaction. The court can mandate the society to record the transfer in your name, as they have no authority to refuse a transfer based on a duly registered gift deed.
Keep All Documents Handy: Ensure you retain copies of all relevant documents, including the registered gift deed, the society's prior written consent, proof of communication, and any responses (or lack thereof) from the society. These will be crucial in your legal proceedings.
Act promptly to avoid further delays and ensure that your ownership rights are duly recognised.

If the society continues to refuse without valid reasons, you can take the following actions:
In case of continued non-compliance:
The refusal by the co-operative housing society to transfer the share certificate can be challenged through legal channels. By understanding your rights under the co-operative laws and taking appropriate legal steps, you can seek resolution effectively.
Since the society is not responding neither cooperating for the reasons known to them alone, you may resort to legal action by first issuing a legal notice to the president of the association demanding the needful.
Failing to respond to the legal notice you may make a complaint to the deputy registrar of cooperative societies in this regard and seek its intervention.
The District Deputy Registrar can issue instructions to a housing society to issue a share certificate to a member. This can happen if the society fails to issue the certificate within the prescribed time frame.
If the Deputy Registrar is satisfied that the society has not issued the certificate, they will pass an order directing the society to issue it
If this step also fails to invoke favorable decision then you can approach cooperative court for relief and remedy.
You can file a complaint to dy registrar about the same and also can file complaint in consumer courr
