Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a provisional member of a Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) in Mumbai can be elected to the committee. Generally, under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, provisional members are not eligible as they lack full membership status. While specific society by-laws might offer variations, the consensus is that only a complete member, not a provisional one, can participate in managing the CHS.

According to the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, a provisional member of a Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) in Mumbai can generally not be appointed as a committee member as they do not hold full membership status, although the specific rules may vary depending on the society's by-laws and the interpretation of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies.
