A.Dear Client,
The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, and Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Rules, 1961 provide two options namely; (1). Transfer to
Nominee of the deceased member and (2). Transfer to the Legal Heirs of the
deceased member. Standard Byelaws of Co-operative Housing Societies
provide procedures under Byelaws 34 and 35.
The nominee/s need to apply for membership and for transfer of shares
and give some declarations as provided under Byelaws 34.
The Secretary of the society needs to revert to the applicant in case of some
deficiencies or additional information. The Hon. Secretary needs to put
up the application in the meeting of the Managing Committee called after
that.
Thanks
