What Is a Society Shifting Permission Letter (NOC)?

A society shifting permission letter, also called a shifting NOC or housing society shifting application letter, is the formal notice you give your Co-operative Housing Society (CHS) before moving goods in or out. It tells the Secretary and Managing Committee who is moving, when, which vehicle and crew will enter, and which lift will be used. Societies registered under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 run their common areas through bye-laws and house rules, and this letter is how a move fits into them. Gated townships and apartment owners' associations follow the same practice.

Flat Owner vs Tenant: What Each Must Submit

Situation	Usually required
Owner moving out	Shifting letter, maintenance no-dues confirmation, vehicle and crew details
Owner moving in	Shifting letter, ownership proof (share certificate or agreement), crew details
Tenant moving in	Shifting letter, owner's written consent, registered Leave and License agreement, police verification where asked
Tenant moving out	Shifting letter, owner's move-out confirmation, dues clearance

Housing Society Shifting Rules in Maharashtra

Moving rules come from each society's bye-laws, committee resolutions and house rules, so they differ between buildings. The points below are common practice, not a single statewide rule.

Shifting hours

A typical pattern is 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with an afternoon quiet period and no late-night moves. Some societies restrict Sundays, holidays and month-end dates. Always confirm with your society office.

Lift use and protection

Use the service lift if there is one. Pad the walls and floor, avoid overloading, and move heavy items such as refrigerators in separate trips. Professional movers carry quilted lift covers for this purpose.

Shifting charges and deposits

Many societies collect a small lift or maintenance charge and a refundable damage deposit. The Model Bye-laws do not set a standard moving fee, so any amount should rest on a committee or general body decision, apply to all members and come with a receipt. Indicative figures are a few hundred to a few thousand rupees for charges and ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 or more for deposits in premium townships, but they vary widely.

Vehicle entry

Mini-trucks and tempos need a gate pass. Many societies approve vendor entry through visitor apps such as MyGate or NoBrokerHood, so share the vehicle number and crew details in advance.

Lift Clearance NOC for House Shifting in Pune, Mumbai & Navi Mumbai

A separate lift clearance NOC is rarely needed. Lift permission is normally part of the same shifting letter, so tick the lift option in the generator. In large Pune townships (Hinjewadi, Baner, Wakad, Kharadi) and Mumbai and Navi Mumbai complexes (Powai, Thane, Kharghar, Vashi), the society office may also ask you to book a lift slot so that residents are not blocked at peak hours.

Documents to Keep Ready

Signed shifting permission letter (from the generator above)
Maintenance no-dues slip (owners) or owner's consent (tenants)
Registered Leave and License agreement and police verification for incoming tenants
Mover's name, vehicle number, driver and crew ID proofs
Receipt for any lift charge or damage deposit paid

Moving-Day Timeline

7 days before: ask the society office for rules, hours and charges.
3 days before: submit the letter and documents; collect the signed copy.
1 day before: share vehicle and crew details with security; confirm the lift slot.
Moving day: pad the lift, keep corridors clear, and get the inspection box signed after the move so the deposit is released.

What If the Society Refuses or Delays Permission?

Handling Society Delays: Ask for the objection in writing, reply with your documents, and request the matter be placed before the Managing Committee. If it stays unresolved, take legal advice or approach the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Society Shifting NOC: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on permission letters, lift clearance, charges and tenants.

What is a society shifting permission letter (NOC)?

It is a written request from a flat owner or tenant to the Secretary or Managing Committee of a housing society, asking permission to move household goods in or out on a fixed date and time, with lift and vehicle access. Societies use it to schedule the move, check dues and keep a record for the security gate.

How do I write a society permission letter for shifting?

Address it to the Secretary or Chairman, add a clear subject line, then state your name, flat and wing, whether you are moving in or out, the date, the time window, the mover's name and the lift and vehicle access you need. Add a short undertaking about damage and cleanliness, and sign it. The generator above does this automatically.

How many days before shifting should I submit the letter?

Submit it 2 to 3 working days ahead, and a week ahead for large townships or month-end and festival dates. Early submission gives the committee time to check dues, book the lift and inform security.

Can a society refuse permission to shift?

A society can postpone a move to a suitable slot or ask for pending dues, documents or a damage deposit under its rules. Refusing a member's right to use their own flat without a valid reason can be challenged. Ask for the objection in writing, raise it with the Managing Committee, and consult a lawyer or the Registrar's office if it is unresolved.

What are the usual shifting hours in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune societies?

Hours are set by each society, not by one statewide rule. A common pattern is 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with an afternoon quiet period and restrictions on late evenings. Some societies restrict Sundays or holidays, so confirm with your office.

Can a society charge a shifting fee or deposit?

Many societies collect a lift or maintenance charge and a refundable damage deposit, but the Model Bye-laws do not fix a standard moving fee. Any charge should rest on a committee or general body decision, apply equally to all members, and come with a receipt. Amounts vary widely, so ask for the rule in writing.

Can tenants apply for shifting permission?

Yes. Tenants usually need the owner's written consent or no-objection, a registered Leave and License agreement and, for move-in, police verification where the society asks. Choose Tenant in the generator and the wording adjusts.

Do I need a separate lift clearance NOC for house shifting in Pune?

Usually no. Lift and service elevator use is requested in the same shifting letter. Some Pune townships also ask you to book the lift slot through the society office or a visitor app. Tick the lift clearance option so the request is written into your letter.

Is this letter generator free?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and you can edit, copy, print or save the letter as a PDF as often as you like.

Does Multishift Packers and Movers handle society formalities?

Yes. Our crew carries lift padding and floor protection, provides crew ID details for the gate, and can coordinate timings with your society office. Request a quote and tell us your society name.
