In a registered co-operative residential society in Gujarat, there are positions like President, Secretary, Treasury and other members – totaling to 5 / 8 / 11 numbers. Normally whoever is owner of flat / house and in whose name the Share Certificate is issued, is member of such society. But since he is not able to devote time for the Society, can his close family members, staying with Owner, such as Father / Mother / Brother / Sister be a Member of such Society. If yes, can he also take position like President / Secretary / Treasury. Please advise.

A.Dear Client,

A nominee being legal heir of member-owner of the cooperative society, the member can nominate a name of member of his family to act on his behalf for the specific purpose for a specific period. Accordingly the nominee may be admitted as a member through a unanimous resolution in a routine meeting of the society.

As regards the nominees position in the Governing Body of Society if proposed by the member, the matter is being always decided on majority of vote passed in AGM
