Question

No member of a society shall be eligible for being elected as a member of the committee of a society if he/she is a near relative of a paid employee of the society. Which of the following is not a near relative for this purpose?

• A. Husband
• B. Wife
• C. Brother
• D. Sister's Husband

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Sister's Husband

Under co-operative society rules: Near relatives of a paid employee include husband, wife, parents, children, and siblings. Sister’s husband (brother-in-law) is not considered a near relative, so he is eligible for election to the committee.
