The registration process under the Cooperative Societies Act, 1925 (amended in 2020) and the Cooperative Societies Rules, 1927 involves extensive documentation and regulatory compliance, including FATF-related requirements, increasing the administrative burden, time, and cost of establishing cooperative enterprises. |
