Pune society demanding notarised copy of purchase agreement

My apartment society in Pune has asked me to submit a notarised copy of my registered sale agreement/sale deed for their records. 1. Is there any legal requirement for the society to insist on a notarised copy? 2. Is there any risk in providing a notarised copy from the perspective of misuse or fraud? 3. Is there a safer option? Thank you.


Quick Summary
A Pune resident's society is requesting a notarised copy of their registered sale agreement. The resident is seeking clarification on whether this is a legal requirement, the potential risks of providing a notarised document, and if there are safer alternatives. While one response suggests it's a legal requirement with no risk, another expert advises that only a copy of the purchase agreement is typically needed, and a notarised version isn't essential.

Q 1 Yes, it is required.

2. No. there is no risk, it is safe.

3. Academic and subjective topic for debate.

You are required to comply with the essential requirement/formalities in this regard, what is your problem to abide by the law?

You cannot agitate or object to the legal procedures.

Sir,

Could you please let me know the specific provision of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, Rules, or the Society’s registered Bye-laws that requires members to submit a notarised copy of the registered purchase agreement?

You can peruse the bylaws of MCS act and search for relevant provisions.

Did you do your homework / research work before giving an examination to experts on this platform who are from all over India and may or may not be from Maharashtra qua specific provision of MCS Act/Rule/Bye-Law of your society ?
