Last date fixed by commissioner of Co-operation M.S. For
Amemendment of you Old bye-laws to new bye-laws is 30/04/2013 for that you have

My CONCLUSION:
Still Commissioner of Co-operation M.S. Pune do not final
the following
1. Draft the format of ANNEXURE of Active Member &
other ANNEXURE.
2.Do not final the who is the member of State Election Committee & their
charges and work scope.
3. Do not final the ELECTION RULES
4.Do not approve the draft copy of the bye-laws upload on
his website and give the Different Housing Federation permission to print this
bye-laws and ask them to provide to the Housing Society.
5. Administrator is remove but Dy. Register appoint " Authorized Officer/Person" this is same as Administrator
So Don’t blindly call the SAGM for Amend your CHS Bye-laws
approve. First let the bye-laws approved
print from Commissioner of C.S. come in the Federation .Let Federation print that bye-laws then read the
bye-laws understand it properly and then
approved it. Many Dy. Register of C.S. Send
the letter through auditor and force the Society to amend the byelaws. There are chance to 20 to 30 % change in the
Draft copy upload in the Commissioner of Co-operative Society.
Don’t blindly approve… Understand!!! Don’t
Worry, be happy!
