Prior to MCS Act amendment there were threecategories of Societies forelection purposes:
a. Certain specified societies as (Section 73G Societies)
b. Certain State Government notified societies (Section 73IC Societies)
c. Housing Societies having in house procedure forming part of Bye Laws.
?Elections were held at different times and tenure also ended on different dates.?
?Section 166 of MCS Act 1961 has a new Sub Section 4 which has allowed all Committees to stay put till Elections are held by State Cooperative Election Commission. In view of ensuing Assembly Elections to install new Government by November it is only after some lapse of time therefater that the Committees having completed the tenure will heave a sigh of relief. ?
