Hi,
Go through the agreement if any such clause is incorporated. If not, question the legality as the rights getting transferred to you once alienation is done.
































You need not pay if it has been already paid.

Normally Corpus fund is a fund handed over by the builder to the society. So in that case seller cannot demand or to be taken from the owner of a flat who is likely to transfer his flat to any third party in future.

Hi,

You are purchasing a flat from an existing owner right, then you don't have to pay corpus fund for the said flat as the owner had already paid corpus for that said flat. Usually Corpus fund will be collected once for a flat if the bye-law of the association or society says otherwise.
