Reduction of no of members in housing co-ops

The minimum number of members to constitute a co peratice society is 10 and leeser than that would not amount to co-opertaive society under Co-operative Societies Act, 1912.

Conditions of registrationl;

1.No society, other than a society of which a member is a registered society, shall be registered under this Act which does not consist of at least ten persons above the age of eighteen years and, where the object of the society is the creation of funds to be lent to its members, unless such persons

(a)  reside in the same town or village or in the same group of villages; or

(b) save where the Registrar otherwise directs, are members of the same tribe, class, caste or occupation.

But in New Town , Kolkata , minimum no. of members of a Co-operative Housing Society has been fixed as 8 .My question is Could the no of members be reduced there from 12 to 8 ?

You need to check your By Laws and amend them accordingly and submit the ammended By-Laws with the application form in Ragistar office. The registrar office can guiede you in this matter ;
