Ans. Deemed Conveyance only allows unilateral conveyance of the 'Lease

Hold' rights of the promoter. Rules and regulation of CIDCO imposed on the

Q14). If a Society is formed by the people who had purchased flats from
CIDCO authority, then whether Deemed Conveyance is applicable?

Ans. NO. When CIDCO sells a flat to an individual, then CIDCO comes
into position of a promoter as per MOFA Act, 1963 and MOFA Act is not
applicable to CIDCO. CIDGO has a mechanism of granting conveyance i.e
grant of lease of plot to the Society and such a lease has been granted to
number of Societies.

Q15). Does the Co-operative Housing Society get a Freehold title of the
plot after obtaining the deemed conveyance?

Ans. The Co-operative Housing Society will get only Lease Hold rights of
the plot after the deemed conveyance is executed. This is because all the
land in Navi Mumbai acquired by GOM and vested with CIDCO for the
development purpose is on lease hold basis only.

Q16). What are the benefits of Deemed Conveyance?

Ans. The Co-operative Housing Society which does not have a conveyance
i.e lease of the plot, does not have a clear title of the plot on which the
Society has constructed a building. Since, the Promoter (Builder) is not
ready to appear before the authority for conveyance, the title of the plot is
not passed on to the Society.

By executing the deemed conveyance, the Society gets a clear title of the
plot. The Society can get the rights for re-construction of the building only
when the deemed conveyance is executed.
