In exercise of its powers conferred under Section 2(1)(c)(v), the
Central Government issued a notification dated 28-1-2003, which reads as under:

NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 2(1)(c)(v):

NOTIFICATION No. SO 105(E), DATED 28-1-2003 In exercise of the powers
conferred under item (v) of Clause (c) of Sub-section (1) of Section 2 of the

Interest Act, 2002 (54 of 2002), the Central Government hereby specifies "Co-
operative Bank" as defined in Clause (cci) of Section 5 of Banking Regulation
Act, 1949 (10 of 1949) as 'bank' for the purpose of the Securitisation and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act,
2002 (54 of 2002).

Also amendment to the Banking Regulation Act has also done after which Sec 56 of the Banking Re. Act reads as :

Is it correct to state that judgment of the Greater Bombay Cooperative Bank Ltd. v. United Yarn Tex. Pvt. Ltd. and Ors. 2007 AIR SCW 232 the Apex court has also ruled that SARFAESi shall apply to the co-operative banks. As per judgment: "Therefore, the provisions of the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993 [RDB Act] by invoking the Doctrine of Incorporation are not applicable to the recovery of dues by the co-operatives from their members."

No. "Co-operative banks"  other than Multi State Co-operative Banks cannot proceed with the provisions of SARFAESI Act. Why?

"Co-operative banks" established under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 [MCS Act, 1960]; the Andhra Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 [APCS Act, 1964]; and the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002 [MSCS Act, 2002] transacting the business of banking, do not fall within the meaning of"banking company" as defined in Section 5 (c) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 [BR Act]. Therefore, the provisions of the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993 [RDB Act] by invoking the Doctrine of Incorporation are not applicable to the recovery of dues by the co-operatives from their members." observes Supreme Court  in Greater Bombay Cooperative Bank Ltd. v. United Yarn Tex. Pvt. Ltd. and Ors. 2007 AIR SCW 232.
RDB Act and SARFAESI Act were amended in 2013 to make these laws applicable to Multi State Co-operative banks.

Karnataka HC has also observed that SARFAESI Act is not applicable in the case of "Co-operative Banks". But Kerala HC has a different view.
