Quick Summary
If a co-op credit society has stopped paying promised interest on your fixed deposits and has also closed its office, you have several options to recover your invested funds. It is advisable to immediately file a formal complaint with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies and consider initiating cooperative arbitration. Additionally, lodging a police complaint or FIR for potential misappropriation is recommended, and you might explore options through the Consumer Court or the BUDS Act for asset attachment.

Since there is no provision for editing, I would like to clarify that the credit society has stopped the paying the interest they promised to investors who had fixed deposits for almost a year.  What are the options available to recover the amount invested, should the investor contact the co-op registrar?

To recover funds from a defaulted and closed cooperative credit society, the depositor should immediately file a formal complaint with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, initiate cooperative arbitration proceedings, lodge a police complaint / FIR for misappropriation due to closed offices, and consider filing a claim through the Consumer Court or under the BUDS Act for asset attachment.
