Fee fixed for transfer of common areas to apt association during flat sale deed registration in Odisha

Odisha has fixed a Rs 20,000 fee for transferring common areas in apartment projects to allottee associations, amending the Registration Act of 1908. This move aims to resolve ambiguities and facilitate smooth sale deed registrations, which had been stalled since May 2022. The notification clarifies ownership of common areas for associations, though resale implications remain unclear.
