Rules for transfer of land after forming society

I have finalized a property in Under construction apartment (Possession in next 6 month) and I have taken copy of sample agreement for checking.

The society having 3 buildings, 2 are already ready and builder has given possession also, and for 3rd builder is assuring to give possession in next 6 months.

The builder is having a firm of around 8 partners and the land owner also have many flat on his own name in the under construction building.

I have few questions –
1. For agreement, builder is saying that bcoz it's land owner flat, so the agreement b/w land owner and purchaser only will be executed and builder will not involve in that.. is it legally correct..builder can claim anything later on this type of flat or it' s safe to buy?

2. The project is already approved from some reputed bank (hdfc, sbi) but builder is saying i can't take loan from other banks (pnb or BOM), because the Title search document is not clear for 30 years, they have only for last 15 yrs. (Builder is saying the original title search documents they submitted in SBI before 2 yrs and now they don't have so forcing to take loan from already approved banks only). Is it fine to buy with 15 yrs Title search?

3. In agreement, the builder has added clause that he can develop other floors on terrace, can use amenity and parking space even after forming the society, is it legal?

4. Is it mandatory for a builder to form apartment association/Society and what action we can take if builder is not forming it? And during the society formation builder needs to transfer the land ownership to the Society or he can still in force of ownership of the land. and how/by which document we can check that builder is going to transfer the land or not to the Society during society formation?

Please advice on Land Transfer rules and Agreement.

Forming a legal society is of utmost importance. It helps society owners to reap unlimited benefits and maintain smooth functioning. It is mandatory for developers to create societies and provide a final handover to the owners. However, many developers do not comply with these procedures and hence flat owners lose that added benefit that a legal society enjoys.

Society registration is formed by association of at least 7 members. Each designated persons will be elected by election 3 years once or as specified by the about society document.
The objects and rules of the society is formed as per the societies act and you shall contact the society of registrar to have more details towards creation of bye-law ( Memorandum of understanding and articles of association). Also you can ask your Auditor, chartered person, Lawyers, Attorney to help you towards this bye-law creation.

For all your questions to be answered, you should only one question i.e., whether have you taken legal opinion from a lawyer by producing the relevant papers of the property before him/her?

If yes, what does the opinion says about these questions?

 The builder cannot build any more flats as per will and wish other than the construction approved in the plan, or else it may be considered as deviation and liable to be demolished by the authorities. 

The title search for 15 years may not be sufficient.

After completion of construction the builder will be possessing the property for another two years for maintenance before handing it over to the society to be formed within that period.
