Sorry, I couldn't retrieve the content from the link you shared. Generally, in a co-operative housing society, payments are usually made through the society to maintain transparency and accountability. If the Secretary or Treasurer isn't raising bills, members can approach the management committee or seek guidance from the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. You might find more info by searching online for co-operative society rules in Mumbai.

It is not a legally valid practice for the members to pay to the vendor directly for the item purchased on behalf of the society.

If a member is forced to do so, he can object to it, demand the provisions for this either from the bylaws or any other law of the land and then challenge it legally.

1.  If the order placed by the society to purchase any capital goods for common use of members of the society then payment has to be made by the society. Asking any one member to pay for the purchase of capital goods is not justified.

The query is short of material facts. Also, it appears that there are deeper issues. Please post complete facts.

The answer is simple. A Society cannot ask any of its members to pay directly to Society's vendor.
