Characteristics of Co-operative
Society
A co-operative society is a special type of business organisation
different from other forms of organisation you have learnt earlier.
Let us discuss its characteristics.
6
The society is managed by a group known as “Board of Directors”.
The members of the board of directors are the elected
representatives of the society. Each member has a single vote,
irrespective of the number of shares held. For example, in a village
credit society the small farmer having one share has equal voting
right as that of a landlord having 20 shares.
iv. Service motive: Co-operatives are not formed to maximise
profit like other forms of business organisation. The main purpose
of a Co-operative Society is to provide service to its members. For
example, in a Consumer Co-operative Store, goods are sold to its
members at a reasonable price by retaining a small margin of
profit. It also provides better quality goods to its members and the
general public.
v. Separate Legal Entity: A Co-operative Society is registered
under the Co-operative Societies Act. After registration a society
becomes a separate legal entity, with limited liability of its
members. Death, insolvency or lunacy of a member does not affect
the existence of a society. It can enter into agreements with others
and can purchase or sell properties in its own name.
vi. Distribution of Surplus: Every co-operative society in addition
to providing services to its members also generates some profit
while conducting business. Profits are not earned at the cost of its
members. Profit generated is distributed to its members not on the
basis of the shares held by the members (like the company form of
business), but on the basis of members’ participation in the
business of the society. For example, in a consumer co-operative
store only a small part of the profit is distributed to members as
dividend on their shares; a major part of the profit is paid as
purchase bonus to members on the basis of goods purchased by
each member from the society.
vii. Self-help through mutual cooperation: Co-operative Societies
thrive on the principle
7
of mutual help. They are the organisations of financially weaker
sections of society.
Co-operative Societies convert the weakness of members into
strength by adopting
the principle of self-help through mutual co-operation. It is only by
working jointly
on the principle of “Each for all and all for each”, the members can
fight exploitation
and secure a place in society.
8
Advantages of Co-operative
Society
A Co-operative form of business organisation has the following
advantages:
i. Easy Formation: Formation of a co-operative society is very
easy compared to a joint stock company. Any ten adults can
voluntarily form an association and get it registered with the
Registrar of Co-operative Societies.
ii. Open Membership: Persons having common interest can form
a co-operative society. Any competent person can become a
member at any time he/she likes and can leave the society at will.
iii. Democratic Control: A co-operative society is controlled in a
democratic manner. The members cast their vote to elect their
representatives to form a committee that looks after the day-to-day
administration. This committee is accountable to all the members
of the society.
iv. Limited Liability: The liability of members of a co-operative
society is limited to the extent of capital contributed by them.
Unlike sole proprietors and partners the personal properties of
members of the co-operative societies are free from any kind of
risk because of business liabilities.
v. Elimination of Middlemen’s Profit: Through co-operatives the
members or consumers control their own supplies and thus,
middlemen’s profit is eliminated.
vi. State Assistance: Both Central and State governments provide
all kinds of help to the societies. Such help may be provided in the
form of capital contribution, loans at low rates of interest,
exemption in tax, subsidies in repayment of loans, etc.
9
vii. Stable Life: A co-operative society has a fairly stable life and
it continues to exist for a long period of time. Its existence is not
affected by the death, insolvency, lunacy or resignation of any of
its members.
Limitations of Co–operative
Society
Besides the above advantages, the co-operative form of business
organisation also suffers from various limitations. Let us learn
these limitations.
i. Limited Capital: The amount of capital that a cooperative
society can raise from its member is very limited because the
membership is generally confined to a particular section of the
society. Again due to low rate of return the members do not invest
more capital. Government’s assistance is often inadequate for most
of the co-operative societies.
ii. Problems in Management: Generally it is seen that co-
operative societies do not function efficiently due to lack of
managerial talent. The members or their elected representatives are
not experienced enough to manage the society. Again, because of
limited capital they are not able to get the benefits of professional
management.
iii. Lack of Motivation: Every co-operative society is formed to
render service to its members rather than to earn profit. This does
not provide enough motivation to the members to put in their best
effort and manage the society efficiently.
iv. Lack of Co-operation: The co-operative societies are formed
with the idea of mutual co-operation. But it is often seen that there
is a lot of friction between the members because of personality
differences, ego clash, etc. The selfish attitude of members may
sometimes bring an end to the society.
10
v. Dependence on Government: The inadequacy of capital and
various other limitations make cooperative societies dependant on
the government for support and patronage in terms of grants, loans
subsidies, etc. Due to this, the government sometimes directly
interferes in the management of the society and also audits their
annual accounts.

Types of Co-operative Societies
Although all types of cooperative societies work on the same
principle, they differ with regard to the nature of activities they
perform. Followings are different types of co-operative societies
that exist in our country.
1. Consumers’ Co-operative Society:
These societies are formed to protect the interest of general
consumers by making consumer goods available at a reasonable
price.
They buy goods directly from the producers or manufacturers and
thereby eliminate the middlemen in the process of distribution.
Kendriya Bhandar, Apna Bazar and Sahkari Bhandar are examples
of consumers’ co-operative society.
2. Producers’ Co-operative Society:
These societies are formed to protect the interest of small
producers by making available items of their need for production
like raw materials, tools and equipments, machinery, etc.
Handloom societies like APPCO, Bayanika, Haryana Handloom,
etc., are examples of producers’ co-operative society.
3. Co-operative Marketing Society:
These societies are formed by small producers and manufacturers
who find it difficult to sell their products individually. The society
collects the products from the individual members and takes the
responsibility of selling those products in the market. Gujarat Co-
operative Milk Marketing Federation that sells AMUL milk
products is an example of marketing co-operative society.
4. Co-operative Credit Society: These
societies are formed to provide financial support to the members.
The society accepts deposits from members and grants them loans
at reasonable rates of interest in times of need. Village Service Co-
operative
13
Society and Urban Cooperative Banks are examples of co-
operative credit society.
5. Co-operative Farming Society: These
societies are formed by small farmers to work jointly and thereby
enjoy the benefits of large-scale farming. Lift-irrigation
cooperative societies and pani-panchayats are some of the
examples of co-operative farming society.
6. Housing Co-operative Society: These
societies are formed to provide residential houses to members.
They purchase land, develop it and construct houses or flats and
allot the same to members. Some societies also provide loans at
low rate of interest to members to construct their own houses. The
Employees’ Housing Societies and Metropolitan Housing Co-
operative Society are examples of housing co-operative society.

INTRODUCTION OF
CO-OPERATIVE BANKS
The Co-operative banks have a history of almost 100 years. The
Co-operative banks are an important constituent of the Indian
Financial System, judging by the role assigned to them, the
expectations they are supposed to fulfill, their number, and the
number of offices they operate. The co-operative movement
originated in the West, but the importance that such banks have
assumed in India is rarely paralleled anywhere else in the world.
Their role in rural financing continues to be important even today,
and their business in the urban areas also has increased
phenomenally in recent years mainly due to the sharp increase in
the number of primary co-operative banks.

nerve of the local clientele.

Way Ahead:
With the increasing level of globalization of the Indian Banking
Industry, evolution of Universal Banks and bundling of Financial
Services, competition in the industry will only intensify further.
The Banking Industry would need to harness its potential and
ability to raise the standard of banking services. At the same time,
31
the financial strategy of individual Banks is the first line of defense
against financial risks. Strong capital positions in balance sheet
place Bank in a better position to deal with and absorb economic
shocks.
