The Maharashtra Cabinet approved an amendment to the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. This change allows the government to nominate five members to the managing committees of cooperative institutions with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 500 crore. Of these nominees, four will have voting rights, while the fifth, a government officer, will not. District Central Cooperative Banks were specifically excluded from the proposed amendment.
