How to do SRA Ownership Transfer from Mother to Son after Death?

The procedure for transferring an SRA (Slum Rehabilitation Authority) flat from a mother to her son may vary depending on the state or country where the property is located and the terms and conditions of the SRA scheme. However, in general, you may need to follow these steps:

1. Check Eligibility and Lock-In Period:

   • An SRA flat is allotted to a slum dweller under the SRA scheme, which aims to provide free housing in exchange for their land.

   • Verify the eligibility criteria and the lock-in period for the SRA flat. Typically, there is a

     10-year lock-in period

     during which the flat cannot be sold or transferred except in cases of death or divorce of the original allottee.

   • To be eligible for an SRA flat, you should have a

     domicile certificate

     and not own any other house within the

     Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)

     limits.

2. Obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC):

   • If you are eligible and the lock-in period has ended, apply for an NOC from the concerned SRA office.

   • Submit an application form along with the original allotment letter, possession letter, identity proof, address proof, and any other documents required by the SRA office.

   • The NOC verifies your eligibility and grants permission for transferring the flat.

3. Execute a Gift Deed:

   • A

     gift deed

     is a legal document that transfers ownership of a property from one person to another without any consideration or money.

   • In the case of transferring an SRA flat from mother to son, a gift deed is preferable over a sale deed because it involves

     lower stamp duty and registration charges

     .

   • Both parties (mother and son) should sign the gift deed, along with two witnesses.

   • Register the gift deed at the sub-registrar’s office by paying the necessary stamp duty and registration fees.

4. Transfer Society Membership and Electricity Meter:

   • After registering the gift deed, transfer the society membership and electricity meter to your son’s name.

   • Submit an application form along with the original share certificate, NOC from the society, NOC from the SRA office, a copy of the gift deed, identity proof, address proof, and any other documents required by the society and the electricity board.
