Answer 1

Answer:

C. within a period of 15 days from the date of the decision

Yes, when a person is refused admission to a society, the society must communicate the decision and reasons in writing to the person within a specific time frame:

• Maharashtra Co-Operative Societies Act, 1960: The society must communicate the decision within 15 days of the decision or within three months of receiving the application, whichever is earlier.

• Kerala Co-Operative Societies Act, 1969: The society must communicate the decision within 15 days of the decision. 

If the society doesn't communicate a decision within the specified time frame, the applicant is considered to be admitted.
