No. 15/223/2008/ADT/RCS/Vol. IV/1108
Sub.: Guidelines for imposing fine in proceedings under Section 73 (5) of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 for late submission of unaudited Balance Sheet.
[Under Section 69 of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 (Goa Act No. 36 of 2001)] In exercise of the powers conferred upon the undersigned Registrar of Co-operative Societies under Section 69 of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 (Goa Act No. 36 of 2001) (hereafter referred to as 'Act') and to ensure proper implementation of Co-operative provisions, proper management of the business of all the Co-operative Societies functioning in the State of Goa, the following guidelines for imposing fine in proceedings under sub-section (5) of Section 73 of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 for late submission of unaudited Balance Sheet are hereby issued for strict compliance by all the authorities as under.
Whereas, vide Notification No. 60/137/Amendment/2020/TS-I/RCS/4579 dated 28-02-2023, the amended provisions of the Goa Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Goa Act No. 34 of 2021) have been made effective from 01-04-2023 except part of Section 23 relating to insertion of new Sections 76C, 76D, 76E, 76F, 76G and Section 30 relating to insertion of new Sections 104A and 104B of the amendments.

In some cases, it is observed that Societies have failed to comply with the aforesaid statutory provisions within the given time limit. In such cases it is necessary to ensure that defaulting societies are forced to prepare the receipt & payment statements/trial balance, Trading/Manufacturing Accounts, Profit & Loss Account, Income & Expenditure Account, and Balance Sheet and thereafter to complete the Audit of their Books of Accounts and place the Audit report before General Body Meeting of the Society and file the Annual return.
It is enjoined upon all the stake holders that it is essential for development of Co-operative movement that the societies should function in a democratic and transparent manner. The above compliances are such that they relate to the very existence and well-being of the institution and hence are of utmost importance. These compliances are non-negotiable, and if they are not performed in time, then there is a reason to suspect that Society may not be maintaining proper records and needs immediate corrective action. All Co-operative Societies are requested to adhere to the above time lines so that there is timely compliance and there is no occasion for invoking penal provisions.
Now therefore, in order to compel such defaulting Societies to comply with the statutory provisions of Sections 72, 73, 74 and 81 of the Act, it is hereby directed as under.
1) The respective Unit Incharges (ARCS or CO) of these defaulting Societies are hereby directed to issue Show Cause Notices to all defaulting Societies under Section 73 (5) of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 directing them to Show Cause why Order should not be passed imposing fine upon them at the rate not exceeding of Rs. 500/- per day of the default starting from 31-05-2023 onwards and till the date they actually submit the copy of unaudited balance sheet to the Zonal office;
2) The respective Unit Incharge shall issue Show Cause Notices under Section 73(5) of the Act to all defaulting Societies and start the proceedings within the month of June itself. The societies should be compelled to submit their unaudited balance sheet during pendency of such proceedings and after the copy is submitted, the concerned Unit Incharge to decide the proceedings on merits of each case and pass a reasoned speaking order;
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 12 22ND JUNE, 20233) Section 73(5) of the Act provides for imposing a fine which shall not exceed rupees five hundred per day till such society complies with the provisions of sub-section (4). Therefore, it is the discretion of concerned Unit Incharge to decide on the quantum of fine that is to be imposed in the facts and circumstances of each case;
4) The purpose of amendment of Act and incorporation of provisions relating to fine is not to generate revenue by imposing fine, but is to compel the Societies to timely write and complete their books of accounts and subsequent statutory Audit (if applicable) so as to safeguard the interest of members of Societies and public at large. The desired situation is that there should be cent per cent compliance by Societies and no occasion for imposing any fine;
5) The following general guidelines are hereby issued to be taken into consideration while deciding the amount of fine that may be imposed on the defaulting societies during proceedings initiated under sub-section (5) of Section 73 of the Act;
a) Compliance by society since its registration till previous year shall be verified & if most of the times society was compliant, it is a case for taking a lenient view for imposing fine, while if society was defaulter always then it will not be eligible for a lenient view;
b) Although any Society had failed to submit unaudited balance sheet to zonal office in time u/s. 73(4) of the Act, but had duly complied with Sections 72 and 74 of the Act by timely submitting Audit report and timely holding AGM, in such cases also it is a case for taking a lenient view for imposing fine;
c) The reasons for delayed submission of balance sheet shall be taken into consideration, like non- availability of any paid employee with the Society and if Honorary duty is performed by the elected BoD/office bearers of Society, then it is a case for taking a lenient view for imposing fine;
d) The reason of sickness of any office bearer or employee of the Society who was entrusted the work of preparing balance sheet, or such other factors may be taken into consideration for taking a lenient view for imposing fine;
e) Due consideration needs to be given to the financial status of concerned official of the Society and whether he/she is a senior citizen to see whether he/she is capable of paying fine imposed or not. Accordingly, the amount of fine imposed should be such that the concerned society official should be in a position to pay the same without affecting his/her financial stability;
f) The yardsticks applied for deciding quantum of fine should be the same in all cases and inconsistent views shall not be taken in similar facts of similar cases;
g) The factors taken into consideration for deciding amount of fine by the authority and reasons should be clearly stated in the Order itself.
6) The concerned Unit Incharge shall provide proper opportunity of hearing to the concerned officials of Society who were liable to prepare the balance sheet and submit it to zonal office in time, the BOD of the concerned Society and after following the principles of natural justice, shall pass a reasoned order imposing fine in accordance with these guidelines;
7) It may be noted that the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Hindustan Steel Ltd V/s. State of Orissa [(1969) 2 SCC 627] has observed that "An order imposing penalty for failure to carry out a statutory obligation is the result of a quasi-criminal proceeding, and penalty will not ordinarily be imposed unless the party obliged either acted deliberately in defiance of law or was guilty of conduct contumacious or dishonest, or acted in conscious disregard of its obligation. Penalty will not also be imposed merely because it is lawful to do so. Whether penalty should be imposed for failure to perform a statutory obligation is a matter of discretion of the authority to be exercised judicially and on a consideration of all the relevant circumstances. Even if a minimum penalty is prescribed, the authority competent to impose the penalty will be justified in refusing to impose penalty, when there is a technical or venial breach of the provisions of the Act or where the breach flows from a bona fide belief that the offender is not liable to act in the manner prescribed by the statute."
8) Therefore, each Authority has to decide the case having due regard to the facts of the case and it is not necessary that maximum amount provided under the law has to be imposed as fine. In a justified OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 12 22ND JUNE, 2023 case, taking a lenient view would mean imposing as fine even a token minimum cumulative amount of Rs. 100/- may suffice. The thrust of the proceedings shall be to secure compliance by Societies at the earliest possible so that there is no further delay resulting in violation of Section 72, 74(3) & 74(4) and Section 81 of the Act.
9) The above general guidelines shall be taken into consideration, by all Unit Incharges while finalizing
the proceedings under Section 73(5) of the Act.
Given under the seal of this Office.

Read: 1. Audit report of Motiff Employees Co-operative Credit Society Ltd., Bethora, Ponda-Goa for the period from 01-04-2009 to 31-03-2010.
2. Inquiry report dated 21-02-2013.
3. This office interim order dated 04-04-2016.
And whereas, based on the inquiry report submitted by the inquiry officer, an interim order dated 04-04-2016 u/s 92(2) of the Act was passed by this office appointing Shri Subhash Gawde as a liquidator of Motiff Employees Co-operative Credit Society Ltd., Bethora, Ponda-Goa and the management of the society was called upon to submit its say if any within 15 days from the date of issue of said interim order as to why society should not be liquidated.
And whereas, management of the said society failed to submit any explanation to this office within a prescribed time limit of 15 days nor physically appear before this office which ultimately indicates lack of interest to continue functioning of the
society from its stagnant position.
In view of the above, I am of the considered opinion that no useful purpose will be served to allow to continue the affairs of the society and further there is no scope for functioning of its affairs. Hence I inclined to pass the following order.
Order
Whereas, Motiff Employees Co-operative Credit Society Ltd., Bethora, Ponda-Goa was registered with this office under the provision of Section 9 of erstwhile Maharashtra Co-op. Societies Act, 1960 as was made applicable to the State of Goa under Code Symbol No. ARCS/CZ/Credit/8(i)/115 Goa on 10-05-1999 and classified as Credit Resource Society under sub-classification No. 8(a) in terms of Rule 9, of the erstwhile Maharashtra Co-op. Societies Rules, 1962, and now deemed to be registered under Goa Co-op. Societies Act, 2001 & Rules, 2003.
And whereas, from the records rested with this office, it is revealed that the said society was stagnant without undertaking any business activities nor any general meetings and the Board of Directors meetings were held for quite a long time and even after the expiry of the term of the Board of Directors no steps were taken by the management to conduct the election to elect a new Board of Directors in terms of provision of Section 66(1) of the Act as indicated under interim order dated 04-04-2016.
And whereas, an inquiry was conducted by deputing official of this office to verify the factual position regarding the function of the society, the inquiry officer in his report dated 21-02-2013 observed that the society is in dormant stage and the company management has closed down the factory and relieved all its employees.
In excise of the power delegated to me vide notification dated 30-09-2020 u/s 92(2) of the Goa Co-op. Societies Act, I, Sangita Naik, Co-operative Officer, Ponda Zone hereby confirm the order at Serial No. 3 above appointing Shri Subhash Gawde, Sr. Auditor, Co-op. Societies Central Zone, Panaji-Goa as the liquidator of Motiff Employees Co-operative Credit Society Ltd., Bethora, Ponda-Goa. Further the liquidator so appointed shall make all necessary efforts to finalize liquidation proceeding within 6 years from the date of issue of this final order as provided in terms of Section 99(1) of the Act.

The society has also failed to convene its annual general body meeting since 2014 and to constitute the managing committee in order to streamline the day to day working of the society as required in terms of the provisions of the Act, Rules and Bye laws of the society.
The Show Cause Notice was issued to the Managing Committee since society did not complied with the statutory requirements for many years and also not submitted the status as regards to the functioning of the society nor taken any efforts to improve the prevailing conditions. Therefore, the society was taken into liquidation and affairs of the society was wound up vide this office order cited at Sr. 1 above in order to proceed with the liquidation proceedings, realization of the assets and setting the liabilities as per the procedure laid down under Section 92 of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 and Rules, 2003 made thereunder.
