Secretary - non resident society member

(Querist) 25 August 2022 This query is : Resolved 
Concluded Society Elections on 14th Aug 22 under the observations of Registrar of Cooperative Societies,my query is that, can a Non Resident Society Member(Doctor by profession, had leased his flat) be made Secretary.
If so, can anyone please refer exact Bye Laws on the same.
Quick Summary
A query has been raised regarding the eligibility of a non-resident society member, who is also a doctor and has leased their flat, to be elected as Secretary. The consensus suggests that if the individual is a flat owner and a member of the Cooperative Housing Society (CHS), they are generally entitled to vote and hold positions on the Managing Committee, regardless of their residency status. It is advisable to consult the specific bye-laws of the association for definitive clarification.

How can anyone refer to the exact Bylaws lying with the Association or a Registrar of Cooperative societies? You can apply a copy for the same and you can refer to it.

If the member is the owner of the flat located within the society/association then there should not be a problem for him to be elected as secretary to the society, however you may ascertain the actual facts and refer to the bylaws available in the office of the association in this regard and get the issues clarified

The landlord / doctor is a member of the CHS, hence entitled to vote and get elected for any post in the Managing Committee of the society, irrespective of the fact that the member is residing in the complex or rented out his flat.
