In comparative co‑operative law, a notable distinction between many European co‑operative statutes and the early Indian Co‑operative Credit Societies Act (1904) is that the European laws:
APrimarily focused on industrial co‑ops, whereas India focused on urban credit.
BEmphasized government control, while India promoted member autonomy.
CGenerally started with consumer co‑ops, while India began with rural credit
DWere established later in history, while India's act was one of the earliest.
