The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (Mah. XXIV of 1961) aims at the orderly development of the co-operative movement within the State. The Central Government has aimed at transformation of the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies into multipurpose business entities, with a view to empower the co-operative sector for economic development of rural area.

For the said purposes, it is proposed to insert a new section 69A in the said Act for constitution of Co-operative District Cadre of Secretaries and establishment of the Co-operative District Cadre Employment Fund for such Cadre.
2. It is also proposed to amend section 88 of the said Act with a view to reduce the period of completion of the inquiry and proceedings under sub-section (1) of section 88, by the authorized person, from two years to one year.
