Cooperative Societies Act is a State subject, which has a slight difference with each other.
You belong to which State, accordingly provisions of that law shall be applicable.

However, Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, 1972 had put a bar on the official (President, Vice President, Secretary, Joint Secretary, Treasurer and members) of the Managing committee to be elected for 2 terms (1 year) only, which has now (after implementation of Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, 2003) changed to "Unlimited" period.

Refer the bylaws of the society and the state Act.

It is the norm in many organisations that the outgoing Secretary (and, in many cases, President) continues to the ex-officio executive committee member. This is a healthy tradition and it could be that the bye-laws of your Society has such a provision. Please verify.
