Sir,
I wish to know the structure of co-operative department of Govt of India. Is there a registrar office/Joint registrar office available in Kerala? We wish to register a multistate co-operative society of south India. Where should we submit application in prescribed form?
Please give your useful advice.

The co-operative societies, with objects not confined to one state and serving the interests of members in more than one state for social and economic betterment of its members through self-help and mutual aid in accordance with the co-operative principles are considered Multi-State Co-operative Societies.
Inter alia following are necessary for registration.
1. Why is it absolutely necessary for the society to be registered under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002?
2. A scheme explaining how the proposed multi-State co-operative society has reasonable prospects of becoming a viable unit.
3. Four copies of the proposed bye-laws of the multi-State co-operative society.
Make application in FORM 1 prescribed under Rule 3(1) the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002 to the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies New Delhi and get it signed by at least fifty persons from each of the State.
The Central Registrar, the authority to grant Multi-State Cooperative Societies status to any aspiring cooperative society sits in N Delhi in Krishi Bhavan, the headquarters of agriculture and cooperation ministry.
Every state such as Kerala has a Registrar of cooperatives who is competent enough to grant registration of state-based cooperative society. For multi-state, you have to apply to Central Registrar, N Delhi.
