Gujarat Cooperative Societies 
Sir,
I have a self owned flat in a co-operative housing service society in Ahmedabad..
The current chairman without asking or discussing with committee members & non committee members , taking 5000-10,000 as his annual fee to maintain the registers & all..
Sir, is it legal in a co-operative housing service society to charge any fee by any chairman or committee members by providing his service towards the society maintenance?
No committee member can charge society for any activity conducted by them.
Sir,
Is there any separate blog of yours’ defining differences between a co-operative housing society & co-operative housing “Service” societies ??? kindly share that would help a lot Sir..
Main difference between Housing Society and Service Society is ownership of land. Incase of Housing Society, ownership of land on which building are standing is of society, whereas Service Society has no ownership. Service society are formed only for maintaining the society.
So as per the main difference that you just cited, on the line of the same “No Transfer” is liable for any member to pay to the committee, right? since we have a formation as a “SERVICE” housing society..
