No restriction for a Delhi domicile to be a member of CGHS in Delhi, if otherwise eligible.

Unless byelaws of the society prescribes any restraint about the residency of a person, he can become a member of the housing society. So, check the byelaws.

Sir, in the above context, the societies Bye laws read as follows:
"He at the time of enrollment as a member has been resident in the National Capital Territory of Delhi for the last 3 years or more years."
What is the meaning of resident here? Since I am domiciled in Delhi since birth and have my permanent address of Delhi in my Graduation Certificate, driving licence and Passport as a proof. I am working abroad in the past 3 years and meet all other eligibility criteria for the membership.
Is it sufficient proof for my eligibility for the obtaining membership of CGHS flat?
Please advise.

During your telephonic discussion, I have already advised you to attach a copy of your passport showing your residential address to avoid any controversy.
