(3) The terms and conditions as approved by the Reserve Bank shall come into effect from the date specified by the Bank in this behalf in the order of approval and be binding upon the Corporation and its shareholders and creditors and if such law relating to co- operative societies so provides be binding also upon the co-operative society and its shareholders and creditors. (4) If for any reason the terms and conditions cannot come into effect on the date specified in the order of approval, the Reserve Bank may fix another suitable date for that purpose. (5) On the date on which the terms and conditions as aforesaid come into effect, the business, assets and liabilities of the Corporation, or as the case may be, the co-operative society concerned, shall, by virtue of and in accordance with the provisions of the aforesaid order of approval, and if such law relating to co- operative societies so provides, stand transferred to, and become the business, assets and liabilities of the co-operative society or the Corporation, as the case may be. 180
