Votes of members

Every member of a co-operative society shall have only one vote in the affairs of the society: Provided that- (a) in the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. (b) a nominal or associate member shall not have the right of vote; and (c) where the Government is a member of the co-operative society, such person nominated by the Chief Commissioner on the committee shall have one vote. (2) On the execution of such agreement, the employer or the officer disbursing the salary or wages of the members shall, if so required by the co-operative society by a requisition in writing and so long as the society does not intimate that the whole of such debt or other demand has been paid, make the deduction in accordance with the agreement and pay the amount so deducted to the society within fourteen days from the date of the deduction. (3) If after the receipt of requisition made under sub-section (2), the employer or the officer disbursing the salary or wages of the member at any time fails to deduct the amount specified in the requisition or makes default in remitting the amount deducted to the society, the society shall be entitled to recover any such amount from such employer or officer, as the case may be, as arrears of land revenue and the amount due from such employer or official shall rank in priority in respect of the liability of such employer or officer equal to that of the salary or wages in arrears. (4) The employer or the officer disbursing the salary or wages shall maintain such registers as may be prescribed by the Chief Commissioner or the Registrar from the time to time. (5) When a requisition in writing from any co-operative society registered or deemed to be registered in any State in respect of a member of that society who for the time being is employed in the Union Territory, is received by his employer, the requisition shall be acted upon as if it has been made by a co-operative society in the Union Territory. (1) No person shall be eligible for admission as a member, if he: (a) has applied to be adjudicated and insolvent or is an un-discharged insolvent; or (b) has been sentenced for any offence, other than an offence of a political character or an offence not involving moral turpitude and a period of five years has not elapsed from the date of expiry of the sentence. (2) if a member becomes subject to any disqualification specified sub-rule(1), he shall be deemed to have ceased to be a member from the date when the disqualification was incurred.
