I want to procure land for Cooperative Society to be formed but the authorities have told me that the said land should be from Residential zone only it it is purchased for a Cooperative Society. However what if when i wan to purchase a land out of corporation limit where there is no zoning from Town Planning? And is it sufficient if i obtain the NA order from collector for said land and purchase the same for Coop. Soci.?

It appears from your query that you want to establish a housing co-operative society and after purchasing land develop a layout and sell sites to members of the society.

You may purchase land out of the corporation limit as thought of by you which is advantageous in two ways: a) land would be easily available b) rate of land would be lesser.

Before purchasing the land, ask the agriculturists to apply for and obtain conversion of land purpose (from agricultural to non-agricultural purpose) and it is the Deputy Commissioner (DC) who has powers to grand such conversion. Then, you may purchase the land in the name of co-operative society.

Thank You Sir, One more small question....
if i am right before purchasing the land if i am planning to get executed the Agreement to sale in respect of said land so that the owner cant sale the same to anybody else.... In this case whether it should be in the name of Proposed society's chairman or secretary or names of all members are necessary to be mentioned?

It shall be in the name of the co-operative society and in the citation it would be mentioned as '.......... society represented by its secretary/president', whoever has been authorised by the directors. Not necessary to mention names of all the members.
