Short answer

CGBIP Housing Society is the society that lists Serene Greens. Its full name refers to central and state government, BSNL and IT, BT and public-sector employees, so ask whether the general public can buy. Verify the registration number it quotes with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies.

What the society says

The society lists Serene Greens, a 25-acre plotted layout in Devanahalli. Its full name as listed is Central & State Govt, BSNL, IT/BT/PL Employees House Building Co-operative Society Ltd, and it quotes the registration number HSG-2/206/HHS/46486/2014-15.

We market Serene Greens for the society and may be paid by it. The facts above are the society's, not ours.

Why the name matters

A housing society's rules decide who may become a member and what a member may do with a plot. A name that refers to employee groups is a reason to ask, in writing, whether buyers outside those groups can be admitted. Our post on buying in a society layout lists the questions.

How to verify a housing society

  1. Ask for a copy of the registration certificate and the bye-laws.
  2. Confirm the registration number with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies for the district.
  3. Ask for the latest audited accounts and the list of office bearers.
  4. Ask your property lawyer to read the bye-laws and the membership terms.

A society that welcomes these checks is behaving well. Be careful with anyone who discourages them.

Questions people ask

What is the society's full name?

As listed on its website: Central & State Govt, BSNL, IT/BT/PL Employees House Building Co-operative Society Ltd.

What registration number does it quote?

HSG-2/206/HHS/46486/2014-15, as listed by the society. We have not independently verified it. Ask for the registration certificate and confirm it with the registering authority.

Can anyone buy a plot?

That depends on the society's bye-laws. The name points to an employees' society, so ask in writing whether non-members can join and on what conditions.
