Share Certificate is one of the most important documents issued to the members of the Co-operative housing society. The member who has lost his Original Share Certificate should make an application to the Society with Indemnity bond stating that he has misplaced/ lost his Original Share Certificate. On receipt of the application the Secretary should call a Managing Committee Meeting for issuance of duplicate Share Certificate to the members. The member must agree to indemnify the society for all cost, expenses that with regards to the issue of a Duplicate Share Certificate. The member should also give an undertaking that he has not mortgage or pledged the Share Certificate with any financing agency. It is important that the society may invite objections by affixing a notice on the notice board of the society. If no objections are received within fifteen days from the date of affixing the notice on the notice board of the society then the society may proceed to issue a Duplicate Share Certificate. Sometime society should insist for a public notice for issuing Duplicate Share Certificate. The Society can charge to the member for issue of public notice before allotting a Duplicate Share Certificate.

  1. I am office bearer of a Mhada CHS I have following query. There is 1 member in our society who have approached managing committee for duplicate Share certificate. He had another room in our colony that building collapsed in that he had lost all his documents including the share certificate of our society. He has got a certificate from police certifying that he has lost all important documents & also the share certificate. Now this person is claiming that the police letter is sufficient for issuing duplicate certificate. There is no need of giving notice of loss of share certificate in newspaper. Is he right & what step we should adopt.

  2. Shri Hemant, you first of all inform your member that there are certain procedures laid by bye laws.
    1. Member should apply for the duplicate share certificate
    2. Should furnished notarized Indeminity Bond regarding lost of share certificate and clearly mention that the share certificate is not mortgaged or any loan taken against the flat. 3. publish advertisement in local news paper 4. display a notice on societies notice board. 4. and if within 15 days no any objection received with the consent of Managing Committee meeting duplicate share certificate can be issued… ONLY POLICE FIR IS NOT SUFFICIENT.

  3. I had sold the flat to our neighbour on 1991, at that time I had given them the Share Certificate. Now, they have not transferred the share certificate on their name. Further more they’ve misplaced it. On requesting to the secretary to issue the new certificate she asked my neighbour to get a no Obligation letter from me. I don’t understand how this will help, because I had handed the certificate to them on the first place. And now who am I to give a NOC to them…. cause the flat no more belongs to me…
    It would be great if you advise me should I give the No obligation certificate or should I not….

  6. pl.spell mistake is egnor.thank u.
    but in case what to do?and one more thing share certificate holding the name of pre owner on front and back side of 2nd owner.is right?

  7. I have made Indemnity Bond that I have not raised any loan on share certificate or morgaged anywhere, I have POLICE FIR and also I have publish advertisement in Freepress journal and Dainik Navshakti, yet Scretary delaying in issue of duplicate share certificate. What can i do.

  8. i have a query..,my grand mother expired and she has willed a flat to her 6 children. one of the brothers is asking for consent to make him the owner and the member of the society. He says after signing the declaration also we will be legal heirs.Is he right? i think we should first make share certificate with the names of 6 legal heirs ..and then give consent for him to become the member of the soceity..how should we go about?

  9. Why should water leakages from the flats above to the flats below not be attended by the Cooperative Housing Society Managing Committee?
    Does any society member take permission of the flat owner staying below his flat for his opinion before carrying out the Renovations and Repairs of the flat?
    Is it not the Society Managing Committee who grants permission for the Repairs and Renovations of the flat to its members?
    Is not the Society responsible for the so many other Repairs of the Society?
    Does any one force a society member to buy the terrace flat?
    It is bought out of choice so why should the society do the repairs of the terrace leakages?
    Why then in the case of Terrace Repairs, it becomes a society responsibility.

    Any Answers: Do the solicitors have any opinion?
    Can the Cooperative Housing Society Registering Authority give any opinion?

    Grieved members who suffer from such water leakage in their flats due to the work carried out above their flats should report such matters to the municipality (Buildings Dept) and Lodge a Police Complaint, Report it to the Cooperative Dy Registrar if the Managing Committee is not taking any responsibility to repair such negligent water leakages..

  12. Dear Concerned , I am an office bearer and ours is a new society , before giving the share certificates we are insisting that for those residents who have taken loan from banks against the flats need to submit a NOC from the bank to collect the certificates . But there are members who say that only those members who have taken an NOC from the society to avail of bank loans need submit this to the Society , for NOC’s taken from the Builder , this need not be requested by the society . Since the Society has not given any undertaking to the bank and thus no liability . Pls clarify .

  27. In our Society, one NRI at present residing at USA has given his flat on Leave & Licence basis. He lost his share certificate and applied for duplicate by giving Indemnity, affidavit & advertisement cuttings. Accordingly we have issue the duplicate share certificate. Now he is asking to handover the share certificate to his Licensee. Society advocate advice to hand over the certificate to him only once he will come back to India. Society should not hand over the duplicate share certificate to Licensee. Practically now not possible for NRI owner to come to India just for collecting the share certificate. What should society do ?
