About this template

What is this template?

This document is a contract for the sale of residential rights and corporate shares in a co-operative housing society. It is not a standard deed of sale for freehold property as it requires specific regulatory approvals from the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. It contains specific provisions for the forfeiture of earnest money and the transfer of five distinct society shares.

When should you use it?

Use this template when transferring occupancy rights in a Delhi housing society where the owner holds shares rather than a traditional title deed. Use a Sale Deed instead for freehold property transfers that do not involve co-operative society membership.
