Clause 30

The Registrar or any co-operative officer shall, at the request of any person interested in the organisation of a proposed society, furnish such information regarding co-operative principles, practices and management as will assist them in determining the feasibility of such society and facilitate registration.

The Registrar or a co-operative officer shall provide, or cause to be provided, such inspection and technical or other information and advice, regarding the affairs of a society as may be necessary to assist its officers and members in complying with the provisions of this Act, and in achieving the objects and purposes of the society on a co-operative basis.

The Registrar may, upon request and upon an indication of the proposed objects or purposes, prepare such by-laws or amendments to by-laws as may be required for any society or proposed society.

Where an apex organisation has been registered under this Act with objects which include the provision of education and advisory services relating to co-operative enterprises and development, the Registrar may request such apex organisation to furnish information regarding co-operative principles, practices and management referred to under subsection (1), or may arrange with the officers of the apex organisation to provide such technical or other information and advice regarding the management of a society which is a member of the apex organisation, as may be necessary to assist the officers and members of the society in achieving its objects and purposes.
