Kindly guide me about society registration act and development fees. What are the legal sections for the whole matter?

In India, the registration of residential societies is governed by the Cooperative Societies Act of the respective state. In Gujarat, the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961, along with the rules and by-laws under it, governs the registration and functioning of cooperative societies, including residential societies.

Therefore, it is illegal for a residential society in Mehsana district, Gujarat, to issue any documentation like stamps and seals if the society itself is not registered under the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. The society must first fulfill all the necessary requirements and complete the registration process as outlined in the Act before issuing any such documentation.

Regarding the collection of Rs. 15,000 as development fees or society transfer fees by the Chief (Pramukh) of the unregistered society, it is likely illegal as per the provisions of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. Any fees collected by the society must be in accordance with the by-laws and rules of the society after registration. The unauthorized collection of fees may be considered fraud or misappropriation of funds.

It is advisable to consult with a legal expert in cooperative society matters or a lawyer specializing in the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961, to get specific legal advice on how to proceed in this situation.

Regarding the legal sections applicable to such matters, relevant sections of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961, and other associated laws may include provisions related to unauthorized collection of fees, misappropriation of funds, and penalties for non-compliance with registration requirements. An in-depth legal analysis as per the specific facts of the case would be necessary to determine the exact legal implications.
