Co-op housing society

As per your query it is understood that you need information about the bye laws of the cooperative housing society.

The activities, powers and functions of the Society and its members are all governed by a set of rules. All these housing society rules and regulations and the housing society bye laws must adhere to the Co-operative act or other laws in force in that region. A Society may frame its own bye-laws but these by laws of society must not contradict the Societies Registration Act of the concerned state. In most cases, though societies use the model bye-laws that are provided, coupled with the provisions of the Housing Societies and Rules act. Amendments to these bylaws of society are passed from time to time. The housing societies bye laws are very flexible as they are amended often as per the need and convenience of the members.

The guidelines are typically framed under the Co-operative Societies Act, which is a Central Act. This provides specific guidelines for a society to be registered with the municipal corporations, its governance structures, common area maintenance rights, dos & don'ts, accounting practices.

The Act also offers a degree of flexibility to societies to add regulations of their own, say experts.

Under such byelaws there are some rights given to the members of the housing society/the flat owners of the housing society. Every member of the housing society is entitled to receive the copy of the bye laws of cooperative housing society.

Hope it helps!
