Okay kalaiselvan, complete your academic course first,

Respected Hrushi

Here's the breakdown of the answers to your questions:
1) Can an Office Bearer of one Co-op Housing society in Mumbai become an Office Bearer of another Co-op Housing society in Mumbai concurrently?
No.
2) Can an Office Bearer of one Co-op Housing society in Gujarat become an Office Bearer of another Co-op Housing society in Mumbai concurrently?
Yes.
Here's why:
State Laws: The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act governs cooperative housing societies in Mumbai. It specifically prohibits a person from holding office in more than one society at a time.
Jurisdiction: Gujarat's co-operative laws do not extend to Mumbai. Therefore, an office bearer in Gujarat is not bound by the Maharashtra law prohibiting dual office holding.


Important Note: While the Gujarat office bearer can technically hold a position in a Mumbai society, it's crucial to consider potential conflicts of interest and the workload involved in managing two societies.

Inter-State Considerations: Even if Gujarat's laws don't explicitly prohibit it, the Mumbai society's bye-laws or general cooperative principles might restrict such dual positions, especially if there's a perceived conflict of interest or if it could hinder the individual's ability to effectively discharge their duties in both societies.

 

Conflict of Interest: The primary concern is the potential for conflict of interest. Holding positions in two societies could lead to divided loyalties, misuse of information, or decisions that benefit one society at the expense of the other.
Time Commitment: Being an office bearer requires significant time and dedication. It might be challenging to effectively manage responsibilities in two different societies concurrently, especially if they have different operational styles or face unique challenges.
