Transfer fees query
Respected Authority

We bought a flat in Mira Rd
Under the name of 3 people
My mother my brother & myself in 2010
My mother passed away in 2015
I gave my brother his share of 50% of the flat through a registered release deed document ,I paid stamp duty & registration charges .
Now the society in which this flat is the secretary & comitee members are asking for a transfer fee of Rs 30600.
I need your suggestion is this legal ? For them to demand rs 30600.we have already once paid the transfer fees when we bought the house in 2010.
I have not sold the flat to 3rd party.
I have just purchased 50% of my brother share.
Can u please find out whether it is legal or illegal for society to charge transfer fees in case of release deed with consideration amount mentioned on the document in blood relationship.

Thank you
Regards
Nitesh Thakkar.

1.This is family settlement and the property is not transferred to any third party. The society cannot demand transfer fees. Ignore their demand. Let your brother keep occupying the flat.
