20 July 2025 Sure! Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to registering a Co-operative Housing Society in Gujarat, along with the list of required documents:

Registration Procedure for Co-operative Housing Society (Gujarat)

Step 1: Preliminary Meeting
At least 10 adult members (usually 15) who will become the society members should hold a preliminary meeting.
Decide on the society name (make sure it's unique and not similar to existing societies).
Prepare draft Bylaws and rules.
Step 2: Application for Name Approval
File an application for name approval with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS), Gujarat.
The RCS verifies and approves the proposed name (usually takes 7-15 days).
Fees for name approval need to be paid as per the prescribed schedule.
Step 3: Prepare Documents for Registration
Prepare the following:

Application for Registration (Form I) signed by all promoters/members
List of members with their full names, ages, addresses, occupations, and signatures
Bye-laws (Rules and regulations of the society)
Declaration signed by members stating that they will abide by the society rules
Proof of payment of registration fees
Address proof of the society premises (lease deed or ownership proof)
Identity proof and address proof of all members (usually Aadhaar, Voter ID, or PAN)
Step 4: Submission of Registration Application
Submit the application along with all documents to the Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS) Gujarat office under whose jurisdiction the society's office is located.
Step 5: Verification by Registrar
The Registrar examines the application and documents.
The Registrar may conduct an inquiry or inspection if needed.
If satisfied, the Registrar registers the society and issues a Certificate of Registration.
Step 6: Obtain Registration Certificate
On successful registration, a Registration Certificate is issued.
The society becomes a legal entity from the date of registration.
The registration number is unique and needs to be quoted in all official correspondence.
