#Floor Space Index

The Bombay High Court ruled that under MOFA, a promoter who combines adjacent plots to maximize Floor Space Index cannot evade conveyance of the entire developed area simply because part of the land is classified as slum. The obligation to transfer title is mandatory, subject only to the existing rights of lawful occupants - reinforcing that FSI benefits do not override statutory conveyance duties to housing societies.

The Bombay High Court ruled that when a developer exhausts the full Floor Space Index of a plot, the cooperative society is entitled to land proportional to the built-up density, not just the plinth area. This sets a precedent for fair land allocation in deemed conveyance cases, ensuring societies benefit from the actual development potential utilized by promoters.
