The BIHAR COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2011

Corporate20117 sections

The Bihar Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Act, 2011, is a legislative update to the original 1935 Act. Its primary purpose is to modernize and democratize the election process for managing committees of cooperative societies in Bihar. The Act mandates that these elections be conducted by the Bihar State Election Authority, rather than internal society mechanisms, to ensure transparency and fairness. It applies to all registered cooperative societies within the state. For ordinary citizens involved in cooperatives, this ensures that their leadership selection is overseen by an independent state body, reducing internal bias and administrative irregularities in society governance.
