When you need it

When a debt qualifies for a statutory recovery certificate through the Registrar — not every invoice qualifies. Rule 79-A/Appendix H, Punjab Co-operative Societies Rules, 1963 prescribes the form under s.67-A; s.55 separately covers business disputes.

CERTIFICATE SCOPE

The applicant society should demonstrate why this particular debt fits the certificate provision selected. The prescribed recovery form cannot be treated as a substitute for adjudication where liability remains genuinely disputed and the Act requires a section 55 determination first.

HEARING RECORD

Service and opportunity of hearing are substantive parts of the recovery record. If the respondent contests the amount, the calculation, source debt and interest basis should be put before the statutory officer rather than hidden behind the total claimed figure.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: The Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 governs this recovery certificate application. Section 55 provides the Registrar reference route for qualifying disputes touching the constitution, management or business of the society. The first society action is taken by the managing committee or general body under the registered bye-laws; the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Punjab receives a statutory reference when section 55 applies.

Chandigarh: The Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 and Punjab Co-operative Societies Rules, 1963 apply to cooperative societies in UT Chandigarh. Section 55 provides the equivalent Registrar dispute route, administered locally by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, UT Chandigarh. The current filing fee and period for the precise section 55 filing in this document were not confirmed from the sources used.
