CAN A Co-operative Housing society in Delhi open a Bank account with a private Bank like HDFC.Is there any law governing opening of Bank account by co-operative society in DELHI

In order to promote the co operative sector, restriction is imposed on co operative societies to open the bank account with the district central banks. If you are keen on opening the bank account with a private bank, take a prior permission from the sub registrar of appropriate jurisdiction, clearly giving the reason to him.

1) The provision is unambiguous. You may open bank account with co operative OR scheduled OR nationalised bank, without prior approval of co operative registrar.
Even 56(2) is more interesting to note.
2) Any investment or deposit made before the commencement of this Act which would have been valid if this Act had been in force are hereby ratified and confirmed.
