In our society purchaser of the flate have to pay 1% of purchase value to the precident of the housing society as transfer fee.

My doubt is whether all the flate owners can change this rule ?

The rule for revising the fee for the purpose will be decided in the AGM or any other special meeting by passing a resolution to that effect provided the bye-laws are conducive to the proposal. Verify from the association bye-laws and other rules mentioned in the memorandum of association.
