• B. 4 yrs
• C. 1 yr
• D. 5 yrs

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 5 yrs

The maximum period for a management committee is five years:

• India Code

  The term of a Committee of Management is five years, and the term of elected members is co-terminus with the term of the committee.

• Gujarat Cooperative Societies

  The term of elected members of the managing committee and its office bearers is five years from the date of election.

• Co-operative Election Authority

  The term of office of the Board of Management is five years from the date of election. 

If the committee fails to arrange for the election of a new committee before the expiry of its term, the Registrar will arrange for elections within 90 days. The elected members of the outgoing committee will be debarred from contesting elections for five years from the date of the expiry of the term. 

The committee must intimate the State Election Authority about the election before the expiry of its term. If the committee fails to do so, the committee members will cease to hold office after the expiry of the term.
