DRAFT ELECTION RULES
FOR CO-OP HOUSING SOCIETIES.
No
fresh elections for housing societies, Maharashtra govt. will hold polls
Directive for those societies whose executive committees exceeded
five-yr term on March 31
MUMBAI: Cooperative
housing societies whose executive
committees have completed or exceeded their
five-year term
on March 31 have been barred from holding fresh
elections.
The state government is
in the process of setting an independent
authority to hold free and fair polls
before December 31. The
cooperation department has issued a directive
following the passing
of a new cooperation law that governs and regulates the
sector.
The directive said old
committees should continue to look after the
daily administration of societies,
but must avoid taking any policy
decisions. Violations will be dealt with in
the form of legal action,
the department said.
The directive will not
apply to the societies that elected new
committees before March 31.
The authority will
conduct the next elections and under new
regulations, each registered society
will have to inform the authority
six months before the expiry of executive
board’s five years term.
So far, societies have
been holding elections on their own by
informing the respective registrars of
cooperatives, who in critical
cases, were authorized to depute
election officers to conduct the
process. The societies needed to pay a certain
amount to the registrar
to avail of this service to ensure free and fair
elections.
The new law is the 97th
amendment to the constitution, which the
state adopted in the form of an
ordinance on February 14. The state
legislature gave the ordinance its
approval in the monsoon session,
which ended in the first week of August.
There are about 80,000
registered housing societies in the state, of
which about 50,000 are in Mumbai
and Thane.
