Deemed Conveyance
Thousands of housing societies across Maharashtra occupy their buildings without owning the land beneath them, because the developer never executed conveyance. Until conveyance, a society cannot fully control its property — which affects security of tenure, additional FSI and, crucially, redevelopment. Deemed conveyance is the statutory remedy: it transfers title to the society even where the promoter refuses. We assemble the record and see it through the Competent Authority.
What we do
- Deemed conveyance applications before the Competent Authority
- Title trace, document reconstruction & record assembly
- Notices to the promoter and representation at hearings
- Registration of the unilateral conveyance & mutation of records
- Redevelopment-readiness advisory once title is secured
Common issues we resolve
- Developer withholding conveyance for years to retain control of unused FSI
- Missing or incomplete society and title documents
- Disputes over the exact area and boundaries to be conveyed
- Societies unsure how to begin, or stalled midway through the process

Registration
We register the unilateral conveyance and update the land records so the society's title is complete.
Frequently asked questions
When the promoter fails to execute conveyance within the agreed period — or, where none is agreed, within three months of 51% of purchasers booking in the building or wing — the society can apply for deemed conveyance instead of waiting on the developer.
A society that does not own its land cannot cleanly negotiate or execute a redevelopment. Securing conveyance first puts the society in control of its most valuable asset and removes a common deal-breaker.
