Fewer hearings to get deemed conveyance

MUMBAI: Housing societies seeking deemed conveyance will no longer need to go through a fresh hearing before revenue officials to get the society's name entered in the land records.

The decision will not only reduce the bureaucratic process, but will save residents several months of waiting period. The revenue department has directed all collectorates that maintain land records to desist from issuing fresh notices and conducting hearings once the competent authorities in the co-operatives department have held hearings and given an order in favour of deemed conveyance. "The deputy registrar is the competent authority to hold such hearings. Holding a second hearing all over again for the same issue creates unnecessary delay. Hence it has been decided that mutation of land records will be carried out based on the deputy registrar's decision," said Swadhin Kshatriya, principal secretary (revenue and forests).
