CIRCULAR No. 6/91

Sub:   Recruitment for appointment of employees in Co-operative Societies-Procedure prescribed-Modification to the conditions-Instructions issued.

Ref:   Registrar’s Circular Number 52/80 dated 22-7-80 and 66/89 dated 29-11-1989.

In the Circulars referred to above, instructions were issued prescribing certain conditions to be followed while making recruitment for appointment of employees in Co-Operative Society. One of the conditions so prescribed requires conducting of writing test and interview allotting 90% marks for the written test and 10% marks for the interview.

2.       In the Conference of Presidents and Chief Executives of District Co-operative Banks held on 26-7-1990 the desirability of revising the percentage of marks allotted for written test and interview came up for consideration and the consensus was to revise the same on the lines of the norms followed by the Kerala Public Service Commission in similar circumstances.

3.       The matter has been further examined in detail in consultation with the Kerala Public Service Commission.  It is revealed that where the selection to a post is finalised by written test and interview, the criteria followed by the Kerala Public Service Commission are to allot 20% of the maximum marks for written test as the maximum marks for interview and to rank the candidates on the basis of the total marks scored both for written test and interview.  It is considered desirable to adopt the same norms as followed by the Kerala Public Service Commission in respect of the recruitments made in the Co-Operative Societies also.

4.       In the circumstances in partial modification to the said Circulars No. 52/80 and 66/89, the condition with regard to the maximum marks to be allotted for written test and interview is modified as follows:-

“Selection shall be made after conducting written test and interview allotting 100 marks for written test and 20 marks for interview”

5.       The Joint Registrars are requested to advise the societies suitably.

Office of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies,

                                             Trivandrum, 8-9-1991

CIRCULAR No. 25/91

Sub:   Primary Service Co-operative Banks/Societies-Unauthorised retention of Credit instruments sent for collection-instructions issued-regarding.

Ref:   Letter No.INSP/5739/E-9/91-92 dated: 9-8-1991 from NABARD.

Most of the Primary Service Co-operative Banks/Societies in the State which are having sizeable amount as deposits loan transaction etc. are capable of doing all banking transactions.  In the modern banking system, the collection of cheques/instruments has a major role and the importance can not be undermined.

But, it has been brought to the notice of the Registrar, that some Service Co-operative Banks/Societies have retained the cheques/credit instruments sent for collection, unauthorisedly, for unknown reasons. NABARD, vide its letter cited had also informed the tendencies unlawful retention of credit instruments/cheques by some Service Co-operative banks and stressed the necessity of such tendencies to nip in the bud.

The unauthorised retention of cheques,  by the Service Co-op: Bank/Service Co-operative Societies will affect the reputation as well as trustworthiness of the Co-operative institutions.  The confidence, which have acquired by the Public during the yester years in which the whole edifice of the Co-operative movement is built, will collapse, and the ultimate result will be the erosion of the funds/deposits to other financial institutions.

In order to check such practices, the following instructions are issued.

The Primary Agricultural Service Co-operative Banks/Societies, should maintain a separate register for recording the particulars of the cheques/instruments received for collection from the collecting Banks. The payments on the above instruments should be made in chronological order.  In case if payment cannot be made, the bank should return the cheques instruments to the bank/collecting banks, specifying the reasons, immediately.  The Banks/Societies should also maintain separate registers for recording the details in respect of cheques returned/referred.

It is reliably understood that in some cases, the Service Co-operative Banks/Societies are holding the instruments at the behest of the drawer of the cheques ailing in collusion with them.  This will not be tolerated at any cost.

If any instances of such unauthorised retention of credit instruments is brought to the notice of the department in future it will be viewed seriously.  If any amount has been paid by the Service Co-operative Banks/Service Co-op: Society by way of interest/compensation for the unauthorised retention of cheques/instruments without any sufficient reasons, that should be realised from the Chief executives/Secretary of the Bank/Society itself.  No such amount should be allowed to pay at the cost of the institutions.

Since the Managing Committee has the responsibility of general Supervision of the Societies, they should strictly verify the registers, every month, to verify whether any instruments received for collection are kept unpaid without any reasons.  If any such instances are noticed, strict action should be initiated against the concerned officers of the society.

The Department officers, particularly the Inspectors, Auditors, should ensure that no credit instruments received for collections, in the Societies under their control have been retained by the bank, unpaid without any reason.  If any such instances are noticed, they should bring the matter to the notice of the higher officers, and the board of directors of the bank/Society without fail.

The Joint Registrars, Deputy Registrars (Audit) of the districts should give necessary strict instructions in this regard to the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Bank, Primary Agricultural Credit Societies under their control.

The receipt of this circular has to be acknowledged.

ORDER

Government as per G.O. read as second paper above orders were issued in supersession of the earlier orders that all regular employees below the level of Supervisory cadre in the Co-operative institutions under the control of Registrar of Co-operative Societies who remain in the same category of post of  10 years or more in the normal course will be allowed the benefit of a higher grade on completion of 10 years of regular service in that category.  Registrar of Co-operative Societies had informed that the various institutions follow different procedures for the grant of higher grade. Hence Registrar of Co-operative societies has prepared a set of guidelines to regulate the grant of higher grade on a uniform basis.  The factors to be taken into consideration and the guidelines in this regard prepared by Registrar of Co-operative societies were engaging the attention of Government for quite some time past.

2.       Government are pleased to approve the norms and guidelines prescribed by Registrar of Co-operative Societies for being followed by the Co-operative Institutions in regard to the grant of Higher Grade benefit enjoyed as per the G.O. read as second paper above.  The guidelines are appended to this order.

3.       The Guidelines can be made applicable with effect form 25-9-1984 or with effect from 27-9-1988 and to that extent these will have retrospective effect, so that the irregular promotions and fixation of pay if already ordered by the societies could be rectified within the ambit of rules.  Otherwise, past  cases should not be reopened applying the retrospective nature of the guidelines.

4.       The Registrar of Co-operative Societies is authorised to clear any doubt or clarifications arising out the guidelines appended to this order.

5.       It is further ordered that employees are allowed six month time to exercise option within six months form the date on which they become eligible for the higher grade.

By order of the Governor

Sir,

Sub:           Endorsement of Ration Cards for loans upto Rs. 50,000/- regarding.

Ref: 1.  This office circular No. 11/88 dated 20-2-88 (in file No.CLT (2) 7594/88)

        2.  This office circular no. 38/90 dated 15-12-90 (in file No. CO (1) 48440/90 (1).

In this office circular orders cited, instructions were issued to all Co-operative Credit Institutions in the State to make use of the provisions in the Ration Cards and make the endorsements when loans upto Rs. 50,000/- are granted to their members, in the space provided therein, and the Joint Registrars were requested to see that the Co-operatives concerned strictly adhere to the above instructions.  In the steering committee of 46 th meeting of SLDC, it has been pointed out that a borrower  already availed of cards from the particular Bank/Society may be approaching for cards from other Banks/Society.  The committee has therefore suggested that the  Bank/society should insist for old ration cards also while prospective borrowers approach for loans.  Government in Civil Supplies Department as per Circular No. 791/B1/91/F & CSD dated 19-1-1991 have also issued orders that the old ration cards will be returned while issuing the new ration cards.

I therefore request you to give necessary directions to all Primary Credit Co-operative societies to insist for old ration card also while the prospective borrower approach the society for loans.

From

The Registrar of Co-operative Societies,

To

All Joint Registrars.
Sir,

Sub:   Co-op. Department-Election to Co-op. Societies Observation of the  Hon’ble High Court in O.P.No.5248/89Y—Reg.

Ref:   Nil

The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala, while delivering judgment in O.P.No.5248/89-Y observed that the Returning Officers appointed to conduct election to the Co-operative Societies, and the authorities should scrupulously follow the statutory responsibilities entrusted to them, and the election to the co-operative societies must be conducted in a fair manner, ensuring that some do not gain undue advantage over others.

The court contended the conduct of the Returning Officer, in the captioned O.P. in giving three days time with holidays intervening, cannot be appreciated, and held that every statutory functionary must realise the responsibilities and should act fairly.  The court voiced that the Returning Officer should have allowed more time to inspect draft voters list for raising objections if any stupefying rights by mechanisation cannot be experienced.  The Returning Officer should also have passed specific orders on the representations made by the petitioners.  The Hon’ble Court also held that the competent authority well to ensure in future that there is at least a gap of 30 live days between the publication of the draft voters list and the election and after publication, at least a weeks time should be available for raising objections.  Otherwise there should be 20 days time between the last day for scrutiny of nomination paper and the election fixed.  The Hon’ble High Court on that by hurrying through a time frame, often rights are rendered ineffective.  In several cases by a process of hustling through warily or unwarily objects as sometimes muffled.

In this respect all officers and the department are requested to see that all statutory provisions in the Kerala Co-op.Societies Act and rules framed thereunder and the time schedule mentioned above are strictly followed while performing the duties of Returning Officers.

Yours faithfully

For Registrar of Co-op.Societies
