Application and non-application of provisions of this Act to the housing societies

Section 154B, Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960

This chapter is in force. The 2019 Ordinance was a temporary law under article 213 of the Constitution and was replaced by the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Act, 2019, which re-enacted Chapter XIII-B in the same terms. When citing this provision in a notice, application or plaint, cite it as a section of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 — not as a section of the Ordinance.

In short

The switchboard for the whole chapter. Sub-section (1) lists the provisions of the MCS Act 1960 that continue to apply to housing societies mutatis mutandis; sub-section (2) lists those that no longer apply at all — including sections 24, 24A, 32, 73AAA, 73CA, 101 and the whole of sections 111 to 144-1A.
