Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Real estate and property law

I became a Member of a Cooperative Group Housing Society, by virtue of the flat being mutated in my name. Can I now purchase a flat in the same Society in my wife's name separately? Will she be allowed to become a Member separately? Please guide.

Re: Real estate and property law

As per Income-Tax laws, wife is an independent entity and is entitled to hold property in her name.

However, holding of property will depend upon State rules as also the bye-laws of your society.

You should consult the society bye-laws as also the Rules framed under State Cooperative Societies Act.

Most of the society restrict purchase of more than one flat by same family. Please check bye-laws of the society before purchase.
