Annual Filing of Returns of Multi State Co-Operative Society: Section 120 of MSCS Act 2002
I hope my previous article helped you in knowing election process in multi state co-operative societies https://taxguru.in/corporate-law/constitution-board-directors-multi-state-cooperative-society-election-process.html. In this article, you will get know about annual filing of returns in MSCS.
Section 120 of MSCS Act 2002, Article 243ZP of the Constitution (97th Amendment) Act 2011 and the relevant clause of Society’s Bye-Laws governs annual filing of returns of MSCS.
Section 120 of the act says
“Every year within six months of the closure of the accounting year every multi-state cooperative society shall file the following returns with the Central Registrar, namely-
(a) annual report of the activities
(b) audited statements of accounts;
(c) plan for surplus disposal as approved by the general body;
(d) list of amendments to the bye-laws of the multi-state cooperative society;
(e) declaration regarding date of holding of general body meeting and conduct of elections where due;
(f) any other information required by the Central Registrar in pursuance of any of the provisions of this Act.”
It means the return is required to be filed last by September 30 if the financial year ends on 31st march of the year. Consequently, the society should conduct Annual General Body Meeting before September 30 to avoid the non-compliance of Section 120 of the Act.
It has been noticed that clients face problem in getting standard formats of documents for filing of MSCS. I am sharing the format for filing information to be given in annual report:
