PUNE: The state government on Saturday launched a special drive to issue deemed conyevance deeds to eligible cooperative housing societies. All the departments concerned and stake holders were present to clear issues.

As per the existing system, all the stake holders have to go through multiple hearings with three departments ? land records, registrar of stamps and the cooperation department. The department of housing is keen to bring down the number to one or two general hearings where all the issues related to issuing deemed conveyance can be sorted out. The state will be holding the drive until June 30, 2013 during which hearings of most housing societies will be completed, officials said.

There are 80,000 housing societies in the state of which about 20,000 have received their conveyance deeds. There are about 13,400 housing societies within the limits of Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad municipal corporations and entire Haveli tehsil. An estimated 50% of them are yet to receive their conveyance deeds for various reasons, said district deputy registrar Kiran Sonawane.

Sonawane said that every district will have a committee headed by the district collector and comprise representatives of the three departments concerned who will deal with the task of issuing deemed conveyance.

Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had called a meeting in November and asked all district collectors, officials in land records department, district deputy registrars of cooperation department and senior officials from stamp department to work together to complete the process of issuing the pending deemed conveyance deeds, said Shrikant Pulkundwar, under-secretary, state housing department.

Officials said that the first step for this committee is to prepare a district-wise detailed database of housing societies, plots and bungalows. The status of every society seeking conveyance deed will be checked with all departments concerned, which would give the administration an idea about the number of societies, how soon deemed conveyance can be issued and also the procedure. All the queries of other departments will be answered and a final decision will be taken during one hearing before the registrar from the cooperation department. Sonawane said, ?I have already asked my assistants and other officials to conduct a detailed survey of the societies in the city as a preparation for the drive. We will come to know the exact number of societies waiting for their conveyance deed. Once all the departments conduct a joint meeting, we will get a clear idea and finish issuing deemed conveyance.?

Commenting on hurdles in securing conveyance deeds, a senior official from state housing department said, ?Builders have an eye on extra floor space index (FSI), transfer of development rights (TDR) and redevelopment of old buildings and hence delay the procedure of issuing conveyance deed. If a cooperative housing society gets additional FSI or TDR, it can be utilized as per the society?s requirements; but if a housing society is not formed, the benefits go to the builder concerned.?

Suhas Patwardhan, president of Pune district housing cooperative federation, said, ?It is a good move on part of the state government since it will speed up the lengthy process and many societies waiting for their conveyance deeds will get some relief. We will also conduct an awareness campaign among the societies about the initiative and appeal to them to participate in the drive and secure deemed conveyance deeds.?
