Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a spouse of a flat owner can be elected as an office bearer in a housing society. Generally, the spouse of a member is not eligible to contest Managing Committee elections in a Cooperative Housing Society. The eligibility also depends on the specific laws under which the society is registered, with associate members requiring a No-Objection Certificate to contest.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 27 February 2025
An Associate Member (a person with joint ownership whose name does not stand first in the Share Certificate) for whom the Original Member has not issued a No-Objection Certificate cannot contest the Election.
Co-operative housing societies follow the model bye-laws, which are comprehensive and prescribe a number of rules and procedures for elections.
