Short Answer

Yes, there are special rules for membership when flats are sold under Right to Purchase or eviction schemes.

Detailed Explanation

Rule 23 of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Rules, 1965 states that in the case of a cooperative housing society where flats are sold under the Right to Purchase or eviction schemes, the person who purchases the flat shall be admitted as a member of the society. This means that when an individual buys a flat under these schemes, they automatically become a member of the cooperative housing society.

In practice, this rule ensures that individuals who acquire flats through these specific schemes are granted membership in the society, allowing them to participate in the decision-making processes and enjoy the benefits of membership. For example, if a cooperative housing society implements an eviction scheme to remove defaulting members and sell their flats to new buyers, the new buyers would be entitled to membership in the society as per Rule 23.

Another scenario could involve a Right to Purchase scheme where existing tenants are given the opportunity to buy the flats they are residing in. In such cases, the tenants exercising their right to purchase would be eligible for membership in the cooperative housing society under the special rules outlined in Rule 23.

Overall, these special rules ensure that individuals who acquire flats through specific schemes like Right to Purchase or eviction are seamlessly integrated into the cooperative housing society as members, thereby upholding their rights and responsibilities within the society.
