Write short note on merits of Co-operative society.

Answer»

ges: 1. Easy Formation: Compared to the formation of a company, formation of a cooperative society is easy. Any ten adult persons can voluntarily form themselves into an association and get it registered with the Registrar of Co-operatives. Formation of a cooperative society also does not involve long and complicated legal FORMALITIES. 2. Limited Liability: LIKE company form of ownership, the liability of MEMBERS is limited to the extent of their capital in the cooperative societies. 3. Perpetual Existence:A cooperative society has a separate legal entity. Hence, the death, insolvency, retirement, lunacy, etc., of the members do not affect the perpetual existence of a cooperative society. 4. Social Service: The basic philosophy of cooperatives is self-help and mutual help. Thus, cooperatives foster fellow feeling among their members and inculcate moral values in them for a better living. 5. Open MEMBERSHIP: The membership of cooperative societies is open to all irrespective of caste, colour, creed and economic status. There is no limit on maximum members. 6. Tax Advantage: Unlike other three forms of BUSINESS ownership, a co­operative society is exempted from income-tax and surcharge on its earnings up to a certain limit. Besides, it is also exempted from stamp duty and registration fee.
