Can my wife become a member of the society if the flat is registered under my name and if so what application needs to be filled?
If such application forms are available where do i get it and where to submit the form?

I have to make more assumptions as compared to facts given.
My first advice to member of cooperative housing societies having any question about your membership right and its management, is to exercise your legal right to peruse or get certified copy of Bye-Laws (Costing around Rupees 100) conferred under section 32 of the M C S Act 1960 reproduced below.
Section 32 – Rights of members to see books, etc.
(1) Every member of a society shall be entitled to inspect, free of cost, at the society’s office during office hours, or any time fixed for the purpose by the society, a copy of the Act, the rules and the by-laws, the last audited annual balance sheet, the profit and loss account, a list of the members of the committee a register of members, the minutes of general meeting, minutes of committee meetings and those portions of the books and records in which his transactions with the society have been recorded.
(2) A society shall furnish to a member, on request in writing and on payment of such fees as may be prescribed there for, a copy of any of the documents mentioned in the foregoing sub-section within one month from the date of payment of such fees.
You will find answer as also applicable form in the bye Laws.
