When you need it

To issue a clean admission-fee receipt that doesn't imply payment alone confers membership. State the applicant/member number, amount, mode and application status. S.15, Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 governs eligibility; bye-laws fix the fee; s.17 governs rights after payment, but a committee decision is still needed.
