What is the procedure for transferring SRA flat from mother to son?

The procedure for transferring SRA flat from mother to 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 have to follow these steps:

• Check the eligibility and lock-in period of the SRA flat. An SRA flat is a flat that is allotted to a slum dweller under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme, which aims to provide free housing to slum dwellers in exchange for their land. An SRA flat has a lock-in period of 10 years, during which it cannot be sold or transferred to anyone, except in case of death or divorce of the original allottee. To be eligible for an SRA flat, you need to have a domicile certificate, and you should not own any other house within the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) limits.

• Obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the SRA office. If you are eligible and the lock-in period is over, you need to apply for an NOC from the concerned SRA office, which will verify your documents and issue a permission letter for transferring the flat. You need to submit an application form along with the original allotment letter, possession letter, identity proof, address proof, and any other documents as required by the SRA office.

• Execute a gift deed in favor of your son. A gift deed is a legal document that transfers the ownership of a property from one person to another without any consideration or money. A gift deed is preferable over a sale deed in case of transferring an SRA flat from mother to son, as it involves less stamp duty and registration charges. A gift deed should be signed by both parties and two witnesses, and registered at the sub-registrar’s office after paying the stamp duty and registration fees.

• Transfer the society membership and electricity meter. After registering the gift deed, you need to transfer the society membership and electricity meter in your son’s name. You need to submit an application form along with the original share certificate, NOC from the society, NOC from the SRA office, gift deed copy, identity proof, address proof, and any other documents as required by the society and the electricity board.
