Cooperative Society
Legal Services
Cooperative societies form the backbone of Mumbai's housing ecosystem. Disputes within societies — between members, committees, and third parties — require specialist legal expertise. We provide comprehensive representation in cooperative society matters across Maharashtra.
Resolving Society Disputes
Efficiently & Fairly
Cooperative housing societies are one of the most common forms of collective property ownership in Mumbai. Governed by the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 (MCS Act), these societies often face legal disputes — between members and managing committees, over maintenance dues, share certificates, transfer of flats, and election matters.
At Memon & Co, we provide comprehensive legal representation and guidance for cooperative societies, their members, and third parties — appearing before the Cooperative Court, Divisional Joint Registrar, and High Court in society-related matters.
Member vs. Society Disputes
We represent individual members in disputes with their housing society — including denial of NOC for flat transfer, wrongful expulsion, maintenance dispute challenges, and violations of members' rights under the MCS Act and model bylaws.
- NOC refusal disputes and compulsory transfer orders
- Maintenance and levy disputes before Cooperative Court
- Membership rights enforcement
- Share certificate issuance disputes
- Deemed conveyance applications
Managing Committee Matters
We advise and represent managing committees on their powers, responsibilities, election disputes, and facing complaints filed by members — ensuring committee actions remain within the framework of the MCS Act and society bylaws.
Deemed Conveyance
Thousands of Mumbai housing societies have not received conveyance of the land from the developer. We assist societies in obtaining Deemed Conveyance under Section 11 of MOFA — securing the society's ownership of the land beneath their buildings.
Society Redevelopment
We advise housing societies through the complex legal process of redevelopment — from developer selection and Development Agreement drafting to member approvals, RERA registration, and protecting members' rights during the redevelopment process.
