one more request is where can find NTC gaget after repeal the law in 2005 which shows that what kind of rights left with NTC association.
i would again apricate for your time
1. While NTC Act was repealed in 2005, existing NTC has bounded by Sec 7 of Bombay General Clause Act 1904
2. NTC operates based on its MOA and AOA and resolution passed in its AGM. Answer to your question will be in one of these documents.
3. Irrespective of the formation, above judgment will hold for any formation whether Cooperative or NTC.
4. Last any property which is declared for residential purpose while passing plan, any changes done for it usage would require approval the relevant regulatory body.
Which documents required home LOAN ntc society ?
Other than regular property and land related documents, below documents for NTC like registration Certificate, MOA and AOA will be required.
Our Building has 20 units. Bank account is opened in the name of Members association. do we need to register our Members Association with any government agency and what government rules applies to our association. can our association charge maintenance and transfer fees as per rules signed by all 20 members or there are government rules to be followed ?
Please find revert to below query.
1. Whether it is built after 2017 or before 2017 (After RERA is implemented). Incase it falls under RERA, then either the Service Society or Section 8 company can only be formed.
2. In case it is just an Association of People (AOP), you will need to take a pan card, no other registration will be required with any other agency.
3. Other formalities required at your end will be getting a yearly Fire NOC and every 5 year Lift License renewal on AOP name.
4. There are no specific norms for AOP. AOP operates based on MOA and AOA / AOP Deed. So if MOA and AOA / AOP deed allows it, they can charge a tenancy and transfer fee.
5. Check if you have a legal gutter connection.
6. Last but not the least, check land ownership details.

Share certificate of service soceity should not be used for creating charge
Hello Sanjay ji,
Your article is brilliant, need more light on the below issue from you.
Can family member of a flat other than person who owns the flat, i.e flat is registered in the name of Wife, can husband go on the board of the society and can he hold the post of president?
If yes, which section support it or any judgement to this effect and if not than, can we pass a resolution to enable this by amending the MOA and AOA of the NTC and since act is repealed do we need to file this amended MOA and AOA to any authority?
Thanks in Advance!!
1. Only the owner of the flat (name in Index Copy) can become a member of society. Only members can become committee members and from committee members, a president is chosen. Thus the answer to your question is no, husband cannot hold a position for a flat in the name of wife.
2. Amending MOA and AOA is also not possible
3. As the act is repealed, there is government department / authority for NTC
4. There was also an advisory from the Government in 2016 to convert NTC to Service Societies. Will be sharing it in a separate article in a few days.

NTC act is repealed in the year 2005
1. New society could not have been registered in 2007
2. Existing NTC may have been used for your society or It can unregistered AOP
3. As the Act is repealed, it is governed by existing MOA and AOA of society and AGM resolution. Please check the provision of the same in this document. If it is there, then they can take it, otherwise they cannot take it.
