SOCIETY BYE LAWS

      Soon the Society Bye Laws will be updated and amended to be in consonance with The  THE HARYANA CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES ACT 1984, (HARYANA ACT NO. 22 OF 1984), (AMENDED UP TO OCTOBER, 2007).

The Detailed Act can be read on the net at the following:

    Most of us are curious and want to know as to who all can vote in the GBMs or during elections. This act is very clear on the subject and the details are given in para 21 of the Act. The extract of this para is given below:

         21. Manner of exercising vote:- Every member of a co-operative society shall exercise his vote in person and no member shall be permitted to vote by proxy:

   Provided that –

   (a) a co-operative society which is a member of another co-operative society

   may, subject to the rules, appoint one of its committee members through a

   resolution of its committee to vote on its behalf in the affairs of the other

   society;

   (b) In case of a primary society which is a member of another co-operative

    society may, subject to the rules, appoint one of its members to vote on its

    behalf in the affairs of the other society.

The provisions of Para 21 (a) and (b) are not applicable for individuals and is applicable only to a Society as a whole.

I recommend that you must read the provisions of this act to keep yourself updated on such issues.
