We are 23 residents in abuilding and intend forming a Society and registering the same.
Out of the 23 we have only 11 residents with proper documents for proof of ownership.
Query
Can we form a CHS with the 11 residents or do we need more members to register their respective flats. And if yes, what is the minimum required to apply to form a cooperative housing society

To form a Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) in India, a minimum of ten adult individuals are required, who can voluntarily form an association and register it with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies.
These ten individuals must voluntarily associate themselves into a society.
Once formed, the society needs to be registered with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies.

State Cooperative Societies Act governs the subject matter, where minimum members is required to form a CHS, submit application to Registrar Cooperative societies for registration and if eligible prepare and adopt its Bye-Laws.
It is advisable to seek professional services of a local lawyer.

Any suggestion depends upon the law under which the Society is proposed to be registered.
