These are mentioned in the Model Byelaws issued by the Registrar of Co-operation. All Societies in Maharashtra have to adopt byelaws in line with the Model Byelaws which are amended from time to time and get it approved by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, represented by the Assistant Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Municipal ward. If it is not in line with the Model Byelaws the Registrar will not approve. The Model Byelaws say that no transfer premium should be collected in the case of transfer between specified relatives. You can demand for a copy of the byelaws from the Society on payment of the prescribed fee.

The relevant section of the Society Bye-law is cited hereunder for your ready reference:
