Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2024. 2 amendments in all.
On the registration of a society, the Registrar must issue to the society a notice of registration in the form the Registrar thinks fit stating —
society
“society” means a co-operative society registered under this Act and includes a primary society, a secondary society and an apex organisation;
that the society is registered starting on the date specified in the notice; and
where the society is a credit society, that the society is registered as a credit society to provide such financial service as may be specified in the notice.
Upon the application of a society and payment of such fee as may be prescribed, the Registrar must issue to the society a certificate of registration.
Registrar
“Registrar” means the Registrar of Co‑operative Societies appointed under section 3(1), and includes a Deputy Registrar, an Assistant Registrar, or a public officer appointed under section 3(1), exercising such function, duty or power of the Registrar as is delegated to the Deputy Registrar, Assistant Registrar or public officer (as the case may be) under section 3(2);
A certificate of registration, or a copy thereof, signed by the Registrar is conclusive evidence that the society therein mentioned is duly registered, unless it is proved that the registration of the society has been cancelled.
