    Sub: Special Drive for Deemed Conveyance

    The Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1983, provides for Conveyance of the Titles of the

    land by the developers to the CO-operative Housing Societies within four months of their

    formation. At present, the Co-operative Housing Societies have to depend fully upon the

    developers for getting the benefits of additional FSI, redevelopment of buildings, etc. till

    conveyance of the land to them.

    thThe State Government has decided to undertake a special drive from 15 December, 2012

    thto 30 June, 2013 with a view to confer upon the Co-operative Housing Societies the legal right of

    land from the developers. You have to apply in the prescribed pro-forma for Deemed Conveyance

    to the office of the concerned District Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies and Competent

    Authority of your area. He would pass appropriate orders after due hearing to all interested

    parties and issue conveyance certificate.

    Once a Co-operative Society submits the certificate regarding Deemed Conveyance for

    registration with the respective Sub-Registrar (Stamps), necessary action would be taken for

    registration of the certificate of conveyance. Upon registration of the conveyance you have to

    approach concerned Revenue / City Survey Officer to make a mutation entry and issue property

    card in the name of Housing Society.

    It is my sincere endeavor to see that the ownership title of the land to all the Co-operative

    Housing Societies in Maharashtra in conferred as a part of this special drive. 'The building

    belongs to the Society; so does the land under the building'. Therefore, I appeal to all Co-operative

    Housing Societies to actively participate in this special drive and make it a grand success.

    The Government Resolutions and Circulars relating to Deemed Conveyance are available

    on State Government's website http://housing.maharashtra.gov.in.

    Yours Sincerely,

    (Prithviraj Chavan)

    Rajshri Mehta TNN

    Mumbai: Flat owners who have

    paid stamp duty but are yet to

    register their properties will have

    to pay an additional amount

    based on current rates.

    State finance minister Ajit Pawar

    outlined the proposal in his

    b u d g e t s p e e c h o n M a r c h

    20,saying the government

    planned to amend article 25 of theBombay Stamp Act (BSA) that

    prescribes the stamp duty

    payable on a conveyance (transfer

    of property).

    Property experts have slammed

    the proposal, saying it amounts to double taxation.

    It will also hamper the chief ministers drive to

    boost deemed conveyance (in-principal approval of

    property transfer) in favour of housing societies.

    The proposal contravenes a resolution issued bythe state revenue department on April 12,2012.

    The resolution says that if an agreement is not

    registered after the payment of stamp duty and

    comes up for conveyance later ,theduty paid earlier would be taken

    into account, said Ramesh

    Prabhu, chairman, Maharashtra

    Societies Welfare Association.

    Since stamp duty rates have

    increased in recent years, this

    resolution gave relief to a lot of

    housing societies in getting

    deemed conveyance of property.

    W h a t i s t h e r a t i o n a l e o f

    demanding additional stamp duty

    to convey flats in the names ofpeople who have already paid the

    duty

    The proposal is also contrary to a

    Bombay high court order of 2002

    that says an agreement for sale by

    itself does not create any interest or charge on the

    property and so it is not compulsory to register the

    property; a charge or interest is created only when

    the individual gets possession of the property

    (Nagin P Desai vs Tara A Sheth; bench of Justices SRadhikrishnan and D G Karnik).

    The societies who have not availed the benefit of

    deemed conveyance to get their land and building

    in the name of their society are requested to take

    the benefit of the same during the special drive

    initiated by Hon'ble Shri. Prithviraj Chavan, Chiefth

    Minister of Maharashtra upto 30 June, 2013. You

    are requested to contact the association office for

    any clarification in this regard to avail the benefit

    and become the land owner which will facilitate the

    redevelopment of your building and enjoy the

    benefit of additional FSI and TDR and also free and

    marketable title of your land and building.

    Transfer of Flat by WILL and Nomination

    Adv. Rajlaxmi Pujary

    Will and Succession Certificate:-

    Effect of Nomination: The object of providing for a

    nomination appears to be to make the task easier

    for the society. If a nomination is made the society

    will act on the nomination immediately on death of

    a member and transfer the share or interest to the

    nominee. But otherwise a nomination has no legal

    effect and it cannot deprive the heir or legatee of his

    right to such share or interest of a deceased

    member. The nomination cannot over ride the

    general law of succession. It has been held that even

    if a person is nominated or even if a person is

    recognized as an heir or legal representative of a

    deceased member the rights of the person who are

    entitled to the estate or the interest of a deceased

    member by virtue of the law governing succession

    are not lost and the nominee or the heirs or legal

    representative recognized by the society as the case

    may beholds the shares or interest of the deceased

    for disposal of the same in accordance with law. The

    society has transferred the shares to the registered

    nominee of the deceased member is as per the

    provisions of the Law. Therefore the society should

    now wait for appropriate Court Order to transfer

    the change of the ownership right or the shares of

    the deceased member of the above mentioned flat.

    However the society should not issue NOC for sale,

    mortgage, transfer or change of ownership of the

    above mentioned flat to the present member of the

    society.

    Succession:-The rights and obligations of the

    deceased person get transferred to the living

    person under the process of succession. They pass

    to some person, whom the dead person or the law

    on his behalf, has appointed to represent him in the

    world of living.

    Succession depends on:

    (a) The law applicable to the deceased at the

    time of his/her death

    (b) The machinery of succession, whether

    (I) Testamentary under Will of the

    deceased, or

    (ii) Intestate in the absence

    of valid Will, or

    (iii) Operation of law, by

    nomination, transmission,

    The nature of property

    or rights and obligations

    held by the deceased at

    the time of death.

    Person dying intestate: - If person dies without

    making a 'Will', he is said to have died intestate and

    in such case his property Will be inherited by his

    heirs in accordance with law of succession and in

    case a person dies leaving behind Will his property

    shall be distributed as per the terms of 'Will' which

    is known as Testamentary Succession. In other

    words Testamentary Succession means succession

    to a property of the deceased in accordance with

    the provisions in the last Will and Codicil of the

    deceased.

    Will:-

    1) Will' means a legal declaration of the

    intention of a testator with respect to his property,

    which he desires to be carried into effect after his

    death Section 2(h) of Indian Succession Act,

    1925. 'Will' as including Codicil and every writing

    making a voluntary posthumous disposition of

    property Section 3(64) of General Clauses Act,

    1987.

    2) Codicil' means an instrument made in

    relation to Will and explaining, altering or adding to

    its dispositions and is deemed to form part of the

    Will Section 2(d) of Indian Succession Act, 1925.

    3) Essential Characteristics of Will are:

    (a) The document must be in accordance with

    the requirements laid down under section 63 of

    Indian Succession Act, 1925; i.e., executed by a

    person competent to make Will and attested as

    required under the Act.

    (b) The declaration should relate to the

    properties of the testator, which he wishes tobequeath.

    (c) The declaration must be to the effect that itoperates after the death of Testator and isrevocable during his life time.

    (d) After the Indian Succession Act, 1925, Wills

    (except made by Mohammedans) should be madein writing.

    Probate:- Probate is a certificate granted under theseal of Competent Court, certifying the Will as theWill of the testator and granting the administrationof the estate of the deceased in accordance withthat Will to the executor named under the Will. Noright as executor or legatee can be established inany Court of justice, unless a court of competentjurisdiction has granted probate of the Will underwhich the right is claimed, or has granted letters or

    administration with the Will or with the copy of anauthenticated copy of the Will annexed.

    As per Section 213 of Indian Succession Act,probate is necessary:

    (a) To all wills codicils made by any Hindu,Buddhist, Sikh or Jain, on or after 1-9-1870, withinthe territories of the Lieutenant-Governor ofBengal or within the local limits of the ordinaryoriginal civil jurisdiction of the High Courts ofJudicature at Madras and Bombay (Section 57);

    (b) To all such Wills and codicils made outsidethose territories and limits so far as they relate toimmovable property situate within thoseterritories or limits (Section 57);

    Letters of Administration A letter of administrationcan be obtained from the Court of competentjurisdiction in cases where the testator has failed toappoint an executor under a Will or where theexecutor appointed under a Will refuses to act orwhere he has died before or after proving the Will

    but before administration of the estate. Letters ofAdministration are not always necessary in cases ofintestacy of Hindus, Mohammedans, Buddhists,Sikhs, Jains, Indian Christians or Parsis. Letter ofAdministration are always necessary where aperson (governed by the Indian Succession Act)dies intestate.

    Succession Certificate : In case, where grant ofProbate or Letters of Administration( only ifimmovable property is involved) is not compulsory,Succession Certificate can be granted by the Court

    with respect to any 'debt' or 'security' to which aright is required to be established by Letters ofAdministration or Probate and for this purpose'security' means Government Securities, shares,stocks and debentures in companies andincorporated institutions, debentures or securitiesissued by or on behalf of local authorities and anyother security which the State Government maynotify.

    Release Deed duly registered by all other legalheirs: If the nominee or the legal heirs find itdifficult to bring any letter of administration,

    succession certificate or probate, if there is WILL, atleast the societies should insist on Released deed tobe executed and registered in favour of the nomineeor a particular legal heirs to admit such legal heirsas the proper owner.

    Service to the society is the rent we pay. Right to criticize,

    only if you get involved.

    By Shri. Rajesh Bhatt.

    One day a farmer, walking down the street in a small town came across a large stone in the middle of hispath. The farmer complained: "Who could be so careless as to leave such a big stone on the road? Why

    does someone not remove it?" He went away complaining.The next day, the same thing happened with amilkman. He too went away grumbling but left the stone as it was.Then one day, a student came acrossthe stone. Worried that someone may fall over it and hurt himself, he decided to push it aside. He pushedlong and hard all by himself and eventually managed to remove the stone from the path. He came backand noticed a piece of paper where the stone was kept.He picked the paper and opened it. Inside waswritten, "You are the true wealth of this nation."There are two kinds of peopleTalkers and doers.Talkersmerely talk, while doers do.The moral of this story is that if you don't want to get involved you have noright to criticize. Become the change you wish to see in this world.Service to society is the rent we pay forthe space we occupy on this earth

    NOMINEES TO BE TREATED AS TRUSTEES AND NO SALE,TRANSFER OR MORTGAGE BY NOMINEE WILL BE PERMITTED

    -By Adv. Rupali KambleThe membership in a Housing society is governed

    by Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960,

    MCS Rules, 1961 and the Registered Bye-laws of thesociety. The ownership of the flat in a Housing

    society is governed by Transfer of Property Act,

    1882. The inheritance of immovable property is

    governed by the personal law of succession

    applicable to deceased member of the Co-operative

    Housing Society. Thus the law governing the

    ownership of the flats, inheritance thereof after the

    death of the member and the law governing

    membership in a co-operative Housing societies

    are all governed by different laws.

    As per the Model Bye-laws, a person who is owing a

    flat( or shops, Galas or office etc) in a co-operative

    society can only become the member of the society

    and the person jointly holding a flat may or may not

    apply for the membership of society. If such joint

    owner of the flat applies for membership, such

    joint owner will be treated as associate member.

    Many cases, even the flat owners do not apply for

    membership as the membership in a co-operative

    Housing society is voluntary. However payment of

    dues for various services availed by such flatowners is to co-operative society is compulsory.

    As per section 30 of the MCS Act, 1960, the society

    is legally obliged and duty bound to transfer the

    membership in favour of the nominees or to the

    legal heirs.

    The Nomination is meant to provide for

    interregnum between the death and the full

    administration of the estate and not for the purpose

    of conferring any permanent right on such a personto a property forming part of the estate of the

    deceased. Scheme of section 30 is to provide for

    proper discharge to the society without involving

    the society into unnecessary litigation which may

    take place as a result of dispute between the legal

    heirs, or uncertainty as to who are the legal heirs or

    representatives.

    New Model Bye-laws

    approved by the Commissioner for Co-operation

    and Registrar of Co-operative Societies afterthincorporating the changes made as per 97

    Constitutional Amendment and MCS (Amendment)

    Ordinance 2013 in Bye-law No. 34 has provided

    regarding the rights and duties of nominees on the

    death of the member is provided as under:

    Subject to the provisions of the Section 30 of

    Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 Act.

    1960 bye-law No. 17A or 19, on the Death of a

    member, the society shall transfer the shares and

    interest of the deceased member in the Capital /Property of the society to the Nominee/Nominees

    and in proportion with the shares and interest

    held by the deceased member, in case property is

    purchased by member and associate member

    jointly. In the event of death of the member,

    Nominee/ Nominees shall submit the Application

    for membership, within six months from the death

    of a member.

    If there are more than one Nominee, on the death of

    a member, such Nominees shall make JointApplication to the Society and indicate the name of

    the Nominee who should be enrolled as member.

    The other nominees shall be enrolled as

    Joint/Associate Members unless the nominees

    indicate otherwise. The nominees shall also tile an

    Indemnity Bond in the prescribed form

    indemnifying the society against any claims made

    to the shares and interest of the deceased member

    in the Capital/Property of the society by any of

    them, in case only one nominee is indicated by the

    Nominees for membership of the society.

    Note:- In case of acquiring membership on the

    basis of nomination, such member shall hold

    the flat/unit in 'Trust' till all the Heirs are

    Thus, one can understand that the nominees do not

    become the absolute owners of the property rather

    they will be only Trustees. Even, if nominee is

    admitted as the member of the society on the basis

    of nomination, such nominee member need to

    bring legal heirs on record or get the release deed

    executed and registered from all the legal heirs in

    favour of the nominee or the legal heirs who should

    inherit the property/ flat.

    Unless and until, the ownership flat is not

    properly inherited by the personal law of the

    deceased member or by releasing such rights of

    the legal heirs in the name of the intended

    members, the nominee though becomes

    member cannot sell or transfer or create anythird party interest like mortgage etc in respect

    of such flats.

    Rights of Associate members to contest electiondue to introduction of Active member

    Mr. Naresh Pai

    th97 Constitutional amendment Article 243ZI

    provides that Subject to the provisions of this Part,

    the Legislature of a State may, by law, make

    provisions with respect to the incorporation,

    regulation and winding up of co-operative societies

    based on the principles of voluntary formation,

    democratic member-control, member-economic

    participation and autonomous functioning

    According to this provision only members having

    economic participation can be allowed to take part

    in the functioning of the society.

    Let us understand the definition of member as

    provided in MCS Act, 1960. Section 2(19) provides

    for definition of member which is as under:

    2(19) (a) "member" means a person joining in an

    application for the registration of a Co-operative

    society which is subsequently registered, or a

    person duly admitted to membership of a society

    after registration and includes a nominal, or

    associate member and any depositor or financial

    service user of primary agricultural co-operative

    credit society.

    (a-1) 'Active member"means one whoparticipates in the affairs of the society and utilizes

    the minimum level of services and products of that

    society as may be specified in the bye-laws.

    (b) 'Associate member means a member who

    holds jointly a share of a society with others, but

    whose name does not stand first in the share

    certificate;

    (c) "Nominal member" means

    a p e r s o n a d m i t t e d t o

    membership as such after

    registration in accordance with

    the bye-laws

    In order to provide active

    members to take part in the

    functioning of the society, Model Bye-laws

    provided the definition of active member as under:

    Model Bye Law No. 22(B) provides that A

    member shall be called as 'Active Member' if:-

    a. He has purchased and owns the Flat / Unit in the

    Society.

    b. He has attended at least One General BodyMeeting within a consecutive period of Five

    years.

    c. He has at least paid the amount equivalent to

    one year of society Maintenance and Service

    charges, within a consecutive period of Five

    years

    New Model Bye-laws No. 3(xxiv)(b) provides

    "Associate Member" means a member who holds

    jointly a share of a society with others, but whose

    name does not stand first in the share certificate.

    Further Bye-law No. 19(B) provides An individual,a firm, a company or a body corporate registered

    under any law for the time being in force, associate

    who/which is eligible to be an associate member

    and membership of who/which has made an

    MSWAs Housing Societies Review 18 April 2013

    Thus, the Model Bye-laws has not prescribed the

    eligibility criteria to become an associate member

    like having the joint name in the agreement to

    purchase the flat or have contributed jointly at the

    time of becoming the members towards the cost of

    the flat. This implies that any member can make any

    other person of his choice as an associate member

    by paying an entrance fees of Rs.100/-. This may

    not be the intention of the legislation to provide the

    associate member. The actual intention could be

    when two or more persons purchase the property

    in a CHS, the joint owner also should get the

    membership of the society as associate member.

    However, such restriction is not provided in the

    New Model Bye-laws. Therefore, even, if one is not

    owning the flat or does not have any interest in the

    flat, can become the associate member by paying

    only an entrance fees of Rs.100/-

    Rights of Associate member to vote and contest

    in the election:

    Section 27(2) provides that Where a share of a

    society is held jointly by more than one person, the

    person, whose name stands first in the share

    certificate, if present, shall have the right to vote.

    But in his absence the person whose name stands

    second, and in the absence of both, the person

    whose name stands next, and likewise, in the

    absence of the preceding persons the person whose

    name is next on the share certificate, who is present

    and who is not a minor, shall have the right to vote.

    New Model Bye Law No. 22(A) says, A member

    shall be entitled to exercise such rights as provided

    in the Act, Rules and bye-laws. As per the definition

    given in the Act and Bye-laws, member includes an

    associate member, therefore, an associate member

    gets the right to vote.

    Further as per Model Bye Law No. 25 No Associatemember shall have any rights or privileges of an

    Active member except as provided under Section

    27(2) of the Act. Further as per Bye-law No. 118.

    No person shall be eligible for being elected as a

    member of the Committee or co-opted on it, if

    (I) he has been convicted of the offence,

    involving moral turpitude, unless the period of six

    years has elapsed since his conviction,

    (ii) he defaults the payment of dues to the society,

    within three months from the date of service of

    notice in writing, served either by hand delivery or

    by registered post, demanding the payment of dues.

    (iii) he has been held responsible under Section 79

    or 88 of the Act or has been held responsible for the

    payment of the costs of enquiry under Section 85 of

    the Act.

    (iv) In case of an associate member, non-

    submission of the no-objection certificate and

    undertaking, as prescribed under these bye-laws,

    by the member.

    (v) he is not an Active member

    Impact of the above changes regarding the

    rights of Associate members who is not having

    interest in the flat:

    According to the provisions made in the Act and

    Model bye-laws only active member is entitled to

    contest the election. An associate member to

    become active, he need to contribute towards the

    purchaser of flat or cost of the flat.

    By simply contributing Rs.100/- as entrance fees

    will get rights to vote but does not get rights to

    contest the election. Now the question asked by

    many is that an associate member contest through

    an Active Member by taking necessary NOC fromactive member, therefore, depriving an associate

    member who has not contributed towards the cost

    of flat is stated to be illegal. As per the changes

    made in the Act, only Active member can contest

    the election and not an associate member who does

    not fulfill the conditions to become an active

    member.

    The above intention of the legislation has been

    confirmed by the Housing Manual issued by the Co-

    operative Department under section 79A of the

    MCS Act, 1960 in which, it has been confirmed that

    the associate member who has a right in the

    property can only become the committee member

    or contest the election and an associate member

    who has paid only entrance fees of Rs.100/- can

    attend the meeting and vote in any of the resolution

    including the election but can not contest the

    election.

    Concept of active and non active member andtheir rights and duties.

    Shri. G. G. Shanbhag

    Introduction of Concept of Active members.

    Conscious effort is being made to prevent non-

    serious members from participating in voting anddecision-making, so that active members can exert

    greater influence. Only Active members can vote in

    the affairs of the society including contesting the

    election or to co-opt in the managing Committee.

    th97 Constitutional amendment as per Article

    243ZI of the Constitution says, Subject to the

    provisions of this Part, the Legislature of a State

    may, by law, make provisions with respect to the

    incorporation, regulation and winding up of co-

    operative societies based on the principles ofvoluntary formation, democratic member-control,

    member-economic participation and autonomous

    functioning. And further Article 243 ZO(2)

    provides The Legislature of a State may, by law,

    make provisions to ensure the participation of

    members in the management of the co-operative

    society providing minimum requirement of

    attending meetings by the members and utilizing

    the minimum level of services as may be provided

    in such law

    Considering the above provision, the MCS Act.

    1960 has been amended as under: Section 2(19)

    (a-1) regarding active member concept was

    introduced in the Amended MCS Act, 1960. As per

    said section 2(19(a-1) an 'Active member" means

    one who participates in the affairs of the co-

    operative society and utilizes the minimum level of

    services or products of that society as may be

    prescribed in the bye-laws.

    Thereafter, the Model Bye laws further clarifiedabout the active member. Bye-law No. 3(xxiv) (a)

    defined an "Active member" means a person:

    1) Who has purchased and/or owns

    the F|at / Unit in the Society.

    2) Who attends at least one General Body

    Meeting of the Society in the previous Five

    consecutive Years?

    3) He has at least paid the

    amount equivalent to

    one Year of societyM a i n t e n a n c e a n d

    Service charges, within

    a consecutive period of

    Five years.

    The above changes are expected to create more

    confusion and divide amongst the active and non

    active members. The Constitution has provided to

    make a Co-operative enterprise a member centric

    who take active part in the activities of the society

    whether it is economic contribution or taking partin the General body of the society. In a Housing

    Society, once a flat is purchased or contributed

    towards the cost of the flat, economic participation

    of the member is done. However, to continue the

    active participation, it is provided to attend General

    Body meeting and also contribute towards

    maintenance and service charges. This may lead to

    new disputes and division amongst the members.

    1. Voting Rights restricted to only Active

    Members :

    A) As per Section 26(1) A member shall be

    entitled to exercise such rights as provided in the

    Act, Rules and Bye-laws Provided that, no member

    shall exercise the rights, until he has made such

    payment to the society in respect of membership,

    or acquired such interest in the society, as may be

    prescribed and specified under the bye-laws of the

    society, from time to time:

    Provided further that, in case of increase inminimum contribution of member in share capital

    to exercise right of membership, the society shall

    give a due notice of demand to the members and

    give reasonable period to comply with.

    (2) It shall be the duty of every member of a

    society

    with all the required conditions of building

    completion. The structural engineer would

    supervise the quality construction of the project till

    the occupation certificate is provided to the society.

    Advocate would go through the legal documents

    and protect the interest of the society and its

    members. Chartered accountant can verify the

    financial of the developer, assist in obtaining the

    bank guarantee amount required and also verify

    the feasibility report prepared by the architect

    considering the market rate and the cost of various

    inputs estimated. Society consultant may assist the

    society in updating various society records,

    conduct various meetings, record the minutes and

    are the steps involved therein in the process of

    redevelopment of housing societies?

    When a tender document is prepared and

    circulated to the members, the society will know in

    advance what are the conditions to be imposed on

    the developer. The members will know in advance,

    the various precautions to be taken before the

    developer is appointed. The tender document

    includes many of the details to be obtained from the

    developer, various amenities, terms and conditions

    of the contract and the financial offer that the

    DEEMED CONVEYANCE COMPLEXITIES DEMYSTIFIEDThere is a deemed conveyance driveinitiated by CM Pritviraj Chavan up to June

    30, 2013. What are the benefits of deemed

    conveyance drive? Whether after deemedconveyance, our society can go for

    redevelopment? Few people told us that

    under deemed conveyance, the societies donot get TDR benefit as only building and the

    land under it is being transferred. Is it true?

    There is no difference between the legal statusof conveyance and deemed conveyance. In casethe developer and the land owner co-operatesand executes the conveyance in favour of thesociety, we call it as regular conveyance. If thedeveloper doesn't cooperate, we file anapplication before the District DeputyRegistar(DDR) to grant the conveyance as perthe provisions made under section 11(3) to11(5) of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act,

    1963 by hearing all the parties. In case ofdeemed conveyance, DDR steps into the shoesof non - cooperating builder and land ownerand executes the conveyance in favour of thesociety. In both the case, the applicable stampduty has to be paid, it should be registered andthen names will be changed in the propertycard.

    Therefore, all the benefits ofregular conveyance is alsoa v a i l a b l e i n d e e m e dconveyance including use ofFSI, TDR, fungible FSI and todo the redevelopment of thesociety. During the specialdrive, the process is donevery quickly, all the other

    departments like sub- registrar, city surveyofficers are invited in the hearing to be held atthe DDR office.

    A committee under district collectorschairmanship is constituted to verify, if thereare any issues to be resolved to grant thedeemed conveyance. Stamp duty, registrationprocess is done quick and relaxation in thestamp duty payable on documents prior to1985 is given. Further, no stamp duty on 40% of

    land being a potential TDR and on fungible FSIis being charged during this drive. Therefore, itis advisable to take the benefit of deemedconveyance.

    CA. Ramesh Prabhu,chairman,

    Maharashtra Societies WelfareAssociation.

    tender document has to be prepared and kept

    ready for issuing to the interested developers.

    A public notice in a leading newspaper inviting the

    tender is a normal process. Since government

    notification of January 3, 2009 does not specify

    explicitly, many of the societies invite the tendersfrom the close circle or through the members of the

    society. In order to have a better competition and to

    have transparent working, it is advisable to give the

    public notice of tenders and should be kept open

    for at least 15 days. The tender documents

    normally should have three set of documents. First

    envelop should contain the earnest money deposit,

    second envelop should have all the details of the

    developer and his credentials.

    If the society is satisfied with the developers

    reputation, workmanship, only then the third

    envelop containing financial offers should be

    opened. The society or the project management

    consultant thereafter prepares a comparative chart

    and gives a grading as per the offers made by them.

    This will be circulated to the members and a

    decision to appoint the best offer developer rather

    than the highest offer is selected in the general body

    meeting in which the registrar representative is

    invited, video shooting is taken and at least 75% of

    the total members of the society should be present

    to constitute the quorum and at least 75% of the

    members present should select one of the

    developers for redevelopment.

    HOW TO SAVE A DILAPIDATED BUILDING STRUCTURE

    Dilapidated structures are generally which have

    not been maintained for a long time and which are

    more than 40 years old and are on the verge of

    collapsing if urgent major structural repairs are not

    undertaken.

    Even such unmaintained dilapidated structures

    can be saved from falling without vacating the

    occupants using various Engineering techniques,

    repair methodologies and structural technologies.

    Different portions of a dilapidated building have

    to be treated with various different methods

    depending up on the condition and degree of

    damage caused to the structure. The building

    structure consists of various structural

    members viz RCC columns, beams, slabs,chajjas, pardies, tanks, Masonary walls and

    plaster.

    Every member of the building structure needs a

    different type of repair treatment, as every

    member is designed to perform a certain

    function and also carries the weight of the

    adjacent structural member and of course its

    own self weight.

    Repair subject are not taught in any engineering

    collages but are subjects which are totally andpurely experience based. The following are the

    major works and procedures which are carried

    out during the course of such Repairs.

    1) Propping:- Propping means placing

    vertical MS props / pipes under the

    balconies, chajjas, beams, canopies before

    the actual repair work begins.

    2) Erection of Scaffolding:- Strong sturdy

    double MS tubular scaffolding should be

    erected on the faade of the building

    without making any punctures in the walls.

    3) Breaking of Plaster: - Loose plaster

    should be removed wherever it has

    debonded from the brick surface.

    4) Breaking of Spalled RCC:- The loose or

    spalled concrete should be chissled off

    from RCC members.

    5) Weilding Steel Bars:- Steel bars wherever

    orroded / eroded should

    b e w i e l d e d w i t h

    additional steel bars of

    required lengths.

    6) Rust Removal: - Rustaccumulated on the

    exposed steel bars should

    be brushed off.

    7) Ap plyi ng Rust ic id e: - Rusticide should be applied on the steelbars to remove all the rust.

    8) Applying Fixoprime:- Fixoprime shouldbe applied on the steel bars to afterapplication of Rusticide to prevent furthercorrosion.

    9) Bond Coat:- Bond coat is then applied on

    the spalled off RCC surface to receive thenew concrete Patel.

    10) Polymer Repair Concrete:- Polymermortar in the ratio of 1:5:15 (1 polymer:5cement:15 Sand) is then applied over thisspalled off concrete in pathes of maximumthickness 25mm. If depth of damage ismore, then additional layers of 25mm areapplied.

    11) Gunitting:- It is the oldest and besttechnique in repair field compressedplaster is applied on the RCC surfaces after

    tying G.I weld mesh of 10 guage and 100mm x 100 mm size. The fortifies the entirestructure and can also be applied on bricksurfaces as a first coat of plaster.

    12) Jacketing: If small areas of RCC columnsare to be repaired then jacketing techniquesis more suitable and economical.

    13) Fibre Wrapping:- It is generally done onRCC columns in stilt areas where all the foursides of the column are approachable.

    14) Micro Concreting:- It is generally done ininternal flats to RCC members where other

    techniques are not approachable.15) Recasting:- Recasting is done normally onRCC chajjas, pardies, balconies as thesemembers are easily approachable.

    16) M.S.Girders/Beams:- Where slabs aresagging and cannot be easily repaired, MSbeams with flanges at both ends are fixedon adjacent RCC beams below the slab forsupport.

    17) Compressed Plaster:- First coat of plaster

    should be done with compressor an not
