    Dear Team,

    Please let me know when can a housing co-operative society be formed/registered.

    Fact: The property is is governed by Kalyan-Dombivli Muncipal Corporation. There is a building with 28 flats. 5/6 flats are unsold as of today. The builder has received Completion Certificate in November-2014 and he started giving possession letter on or after January 2015.

    Query:

    1. After how many flats sold by builder a society can be formed by existing members
    2. Can a society be formed before issuance of O.C.
