Request you to let us know the procedure for election as our society managing committee had expired in September 2014 wherein we had intimated our members but because of the new GR passed which asked us not to hold election till December 2014.
We would like to know whether the GR deadline has been extended?
What are the procedures for holding an election wherein do we need to call the Registrar?
Who can be the election officer?
How essential is an Overhead Tank in comparison with Hydro pneumatic System?
