Nikk Mahendrarao Jadhav is willing to start credit coop society in Palghar district near Mumbai. He has not clarified as to the purpose for which he is willing to start a cooperative credit society? For any serious economic activity seriousness of the purpose is necessary. The Constitution (97th Amendment) Act 2011 has by amending Article 19(1)© conferred a right on every citizen to form a Cooperative Society. This has misguided many people especially the youth. Several requests have been received for guidance to start a cooperative bank for example Nikk is also eyeing at cooperative bank.
At times it looks like young business men seem to view cooperative credit society or a bank as a private business house yielding huge profits. Perhaps they have no idea whatsoever as to what is a Cooperative Society? Two three basic information will literally drive away.
- Cooperative Credit Society is not a saleable business. Its members have a limitation of buying maximum of 20% of the Share Capital so owning it is to be seen as there are several co-owners.
- Every member has just one vote irrespective of share capital he owns.
- Not less than 10 persons can think of registering a Cooperative Society.
As soon as they know this much they forget the idea of buying a Cooperative Society.
