Why you need it

When you need it

A member files this to name who receives shares/interest on death. S.30, Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960 with Rule 25, MCS Rules 1961 obliges transfer to the nominee once death is proved; with none recorded, the family faces the slower heirship-certificate/indemnity route. Revokes every earlier nomination; works only once the society enters it while you're alive (Rule 25(4)) — deliver to the secretary, get the acknowledgement. Not a will — a nominee takes as trustee for the heirs. Not for an AOA (e.g. Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act 1970) — no shares, no s.30 nomination. Always names a nominee — to revoke without one, write separately.

See stamp duty, registration and witnesses

What follows is the position for this kind of document. The amount is set by the state the property is in and it changes, so the figure for your own state is worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office before you pay anything.

Stamp duty

None — a nomination transfers nothing in the member's lifetime, so no Stamp Act article charges it; plain paper suffices. A Rs 100 stamp-paper habit some offices insist on isn't required and doesn't cure a defective nomination. Releasing/gifting/transferring the flat now is a different, stampable instrument at gift/conveyance rates.

Registration

Not registrable — creates no property right (s.17 inapplicable), shares are movable anyway. What matters: entry in the society's Register of Nominations, which s.30 operates off. Deliver for a dated acknowledgement and get the register serial number in writing — unentered, it's what heirs litigate over.

Notarisation

Not required — neither s.30 nor Rule 25 needs it. Some committees insist for a change of nomination — check bye-laws. Worth doing voluntarily where the member is elderly or a family contest is likely — a notary's endorsement and a doctor's soundness-of-mind note are cheap evidence.

Witnesses

Sign before two adult witnesses who watch you sign, with full names/addresses — nominations are routinely attacked as forged or coerced. Don't use the nominee, their spouse, or a minor nominee's guardian as witness. Thumb impression: have witnesses identify/attest it, preferably notarised.
