The issuance of Share Certificate has got nothing to do with the payment of Service tax, upon formation
of the CHS the Share Certificates has to be issued by the society within a maximum period of 6 months from the date of allotment of the shares. Further the builder has no role in issuance of Share Certificates; it is the responsibility of the Managing Committee of the Society.

In our opinion the society does not have
any power to levy this kind of arbitrary fines, you
should oppose the same, for other kind of harassments & abuse you should
approach the local Police station, these kind of harassments & false
allegations will also amount to defamation.

Sir, We are 14
new flat purchasers in a redeveloped society in Goregaon
West, out of the three old office bearers of the society, two have sold their
respective flats and as on date we have just one office bearer. We have
applied to the society for admission as members and issue of Share Certificate.
Please advice the procedure and if the
single office bearer can sign our share certificate?

Once the Admission of members is approved
in the Managing Committee meeting,
the duly endorsed Share Certificate has to
be issued
to the incoming member within a
period of maximum 15 days thereof. The
Managing Committee by passing a resolution can authorise
persons to sign the Share Certificate. Further we are unable to understand,
as to why the society is not filling up the vacant posts of the Office bearers.

The previous
Treasurer, Secretary & Chairman caused a loss of interest of Rs. 86,000
to our society by failing to
renew the Fixed deposits held in various banks under the name of Society. We even have a
letter from bank proving this. They had even hidden this fact from the other
MC members. Now they have
been removed from their posts but they are in MC. Who is primary responsible for such a
lapse & how do we recover the money from
such persons?

The Act, Rules and bye-laws stipulate that if
some acts of the member have caused financial loss to the society, Inquiry

Act 1960 and upon report of such Inquiry Officer, the Registrar can pass order
to recover the same from the said members who are held responsible in the
Inquiry.
