This meant payment of lakhs of rupees for afffecting the transfer. My pleas to work out the transfer fee as per Punjab Cooperative Act 1960 fell on the deaf ears of the administration. The Finance Secretary of the administation was in no mood to relent. An application filed by me under the right to information act revealed that the rules sought to be applied by the Chandigarh Administation stood repealed and needed examination by the law department. This revelation was highlighted in the media and the issue evoked the sympathetic consideration of the ld.

Registrar Cooperative Societies was asked to submit fresh proposals in this regard. Registrar Cooperative Societies submitted proposals and proposed to levy nominal transfer charges ranging  from Rs. 10,000/- to Rs. 30000/- in constrast to Administration asking from Rs. 3.8 Lakhs to Rs. 4.25 Lakhs earlier. Based on fresh proposals , chandigarh administration drafted a new policy under which the GPA holders were to pay a fixed amount for affecting transfer of the flat/share in his name.
