A small note on Lien Marking
There are many rules which govern this activity. One is Bylaw 45; another is Cooperative Act, and numerous judgments and case laws. As per these it is mandatory for MC to keep a lien register. The MC must give details of this from time to time or as asked by the Government and financial institutions details of the lien on Flat or row house. MC is expected to verify and furnish accurate information on request and is liable for this activity. The lien giving institution has the first legal right on the share certificate. Thus, it is expected that MC will do the due diligence on this.
