cooperative movement in the country. The prime concern of the Congress were issues related to Direct Tax Code Bill of Ministry of Finance, Government of India and inadequate funds earmarked for education and training. Organization of new generation cooperatives by cooperative organizations in service sector to create employment potential, and enhancement of women and youth participation in cooperatives emerged as the other important recommendations. Several policy issues, policy initiatives, sectoral issues and issues related to HRD for strengthening the cooperatives emerged so that the cooperatives emerge as autonomous, democratic, professional and economically sound enterprises.

The following were the main recommendations/suggestions:

General cooperative policy & education & training

1. The cooperatives in India have made a significant contribution to the overall economic growth of our economy, especially in the sectors of agriculture, credit, sugar, dairy, textile, fisheries, distribution of fertilizer, agriculture input, storage and marketing. They are an important component for inclusive growth of our economy. However, their performance across sectors, activities and regions is variable. Hence, they need to reorient themselves to enhance their level of efficiency and meet the requirements of their core clientele – farmers, artisan, growers, producers and women. (National

Level Cooperative Organisation & multi-State Cooperative Societies, State Level Cooperative Federations)

2. Cooperatives must receive recognition as an important sector of our economy that serve marginalized and weaker sections. They must be made commercially viable in the areas where they can make an impact such as rural health, education, credit, water harvesting, tourism, communication and hospitality etc.

(Govt. of India, National level cooperative federation, State level Cooperative Federation, RCS of various States)

3. Cooperatives must be managed by adequately trained and enthuasiastic members. Cooperatives empower people, build capacities and develop capabilities. The Congress urges the Government for financial support for cooperative education and training activities in India.

(Govt. of India, NCCT, NCUI, State Cooperative Union & JCTs)

4. In a globalised world, where India is placed in a better way to reap demographic dividend, the cooperative sector can play an important role in skill development amongst the youth. Some of the State Govts. have made training programmes compulsory for the employees of cooperative societies for getting their Annual grade increment and promotion. Kerala Govt. has already amended the relevant rules to make programme compulsory for the employees of cooperatives. This will create greater scope for professionalization.

(Department of Cooperation, State Govts./RCS, NCUI, State Cooperative Union, NCERT, AIU)

5. Cooperatives have contributed to women empowerment by promoting self help groups, which organise various income generating activities, adult literacy and cooperative education programmes. Cooperatives also have a major role in providing democratic access to employment, education, financial security and health care.

(Govt. of India, NCUI, State Government, State Cooperative Federations, National Women Commission, Planning Commission)

6. The Government step through enacting the 97th Constitutional Amendment thereby creating an enabling environment for the development of the cooperatives is indeed appreciable. This would further promote democratic, autonomous and professional working of the cooperatives. By this amendment the right to form a cooperative society has now become a fundamental right. But, to take initiatives further to the

grassroot level, the Congress urges the state governments to create enabling environment by amending state laws as and when it is necessary.

(State Government, State Coop. Federation, RCS)

7. Cooperatives create the job opportunities, provide sustainable livelihood for millions of people in the farm sector and also have the capacity to reverse the rural urban migration.

(Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. of India, Ministry of Agriculture, Planning Commission, State Government)

8. The short-term and long term cooperative credit structure as well as banking sectors have the capability to promote financial inclusion which is necessary in inclusive growth for rural and semi-rural areas.

(RBI, NABARD, Ministry of Agriculture, RCS, NAFSCOB, NAFCUB, NAFCARD)

9. In order to strengthen the different tiers of cooperatives and also various schemes and programmes run by the cooperatives, the Congress urges the Government of India and State Governments to provide policy and adequate financial support.

creating a provision for revival of sick cooperatives for their rehabilitation and reconstruction.

(Govt. of India, Ministry of Agriculture, NCDC, NCUI)

11. The agriculture sector in India has a large number of primary agriculture cooperative societies handling supply of agriculture inputs, credit, marketing and storage capacity. These cooperatives are organized by small and marginal farmers who face acute knowledge gap and deficiency in inputs in the delivery system. The Government of India and the state governments need to give adequate importance to the concept of cooperative education and training so that the members of the PACS residing in the villages are able to use modern technology, rural infrastructure and make use of market information and risk management.

(NABARD, Ministry of Agriculture, State Government, RCS)

12. Cooperative is a State Subject. C o o p e r a t i v e sector falls within the domain of the state government. Therefore, for any development related to the c o o p e r a t i v e sector, the State must participate effectively both in terms of money and manpower. Without effective participation of

the states, sustainable cooperative development is impossible.

(State Government, NCUI)13. The Government should provide

a better enabling climate for the cooperatives to play a bigger role and the cooperatives themselves should upgrade their technologies, improve and modernize the ways of doing businesses in order to create interest among youth for a greater involvement in the functioning of cooperatives. The cooperatives would become more competitive as well as innovative without compromising their cooperative identity and without deviating from essential cooperative ethos.

Section 86 of the proposed Direct Tax Code Bill may kindly be made whereby the income from the business of providing banking credit facility to its members is exempted in respect of the incomes of a cooperative society engaged in banking activities, otherwise Section 80(P) as well as the proposed Section 86 of the Direct Tax Code Bill may be deleted and suitable amendments may be made in Section 10 of the Income Tax Act whereby the cooperative banks are completely exempted from Income Tax.

2. Interest/dividend received by cooperative societies either from other cooperative society or from others has to be fully exempted from Tax.

3. The provision of Tax to be deducted at source by a society from the customer shall not be applicable to cooperative societies.

4. In the proviso to section 36(1) (viia) specifically “co-operative Bank” should be mentioned next to scheduled bank or non-scheduled bank so that the assessing officer does not have any confusion on this front.

5. The following proviso may be added in section 36 (1) (viia):- “Provided that in the case of a scheduled bank or a non scheduled bank or a co-operative bank, the provisions for bad and doubtful debts in respect of NPAs as per the requirement of Reserve Bank of India shall be allowed as a deduction, specifically on the above mentioned lines. Necessary amendment may be made in the draft Direct Taxes Code, 2010 accordingly.

6. In section 80C (xxi) term deposit even with a co-operative bank should be eligible for tax deduction exactly on the same lines as that of a scheduled bank.

7. Amendment to section 43D to include applicability of the provisions to scheduled as well as non-scheduled co-operative banks.

8. The jurisdiction of Debt Recovery Tribunals may be extended to all cooperative banks-

9. Though, the Government of India interest subvention to cooperative banks for 2% is appreciated it will not make them viable until the interest subvention rate is 4.5%. Hence, a minimum of 3% interest rate should be continued as it was earlier so that the cooperative banks can operate as viable units.

10. Directives to various banks may issued for providing loan to NAFED. Presently, NAFED is availing loan at a higher rate of interest since agri-marketing activities of NAFED are not covered under the Priority Sector of Agriculture.

11. In case of housing societies, the deduction under the Income Tax Act, 1961 as available presently under section 80 P(2)(c)(i)and (ii) should be quantified not by the amount as mentioned presently in the section but the some may be qualified as a percentage of the total profits and gains attributable to such activities. The deduction in terms of the above section may be made at least at the rate of 50% of such profits and gains.

12. The proposed new section 80EE in the Income-tax Act, 1961 as proposed to be inserted by the Finance Bill; 2013 which provides for deduction in respect of interest on loan taken for residential house property should specifically mention that the loan issued from any cooperative bank to whom such interest is paid will also

19. Presently National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) is providing concessional refinance facility to those registered labour cooperatives registered which are working in rural areas. However, it is stated that most of the works being awarded by work awarding agencies in urban areas should also be considered for concessional finance by NABARD.

20. The income-tax rates as mentioned in the First Schedule to the Finance Bill 2013 as applicable for the cooperative societies should be at the rate of NIL per cent on income up to Rs. 10 lakhs and at the rate of 10 per cent in case

the income of the cooperative society exceeds Rs. 10 lakhs.

21. In case of non-governmental organizations DTC bill provides maximum tax rates @20% only. The provisions of the Cooperative Act restrict voting right dividend declaration and non transfer of shares and hence the maximum tax rate for any cooperative which is promoting foods production, employment generation, health care, transport etc. per common man shall not exceed 20% as against the existing rate of 30%.

22. As per section 72 (A) of the Act regarding mergers and amalgamation of the companies the provisions also should be made applicable to cooperatives so that loss making cooperatives can be absorbed/amalgamated with the profit making cooperatives.

23. To enable cooperatives help better capital formation and further to improve Current Account Deficit, Indian citizens who are abroad (NRI) due to employment may be allowed to be the members of cooperative societies and they should have rights as other members.

5. In view of the above, to review and include urban cooperative banks within the ambit of the above subvention scheme in respect of housing loans.

6. The Federation has been requesting RBI to at least treat directors of urban banks on the same footing as directors of commercial banks in this regard and permit them facilities from their banks that are allowed as per B.R. Act. There is a case for full restoration of loan facilities to directors with a cap on the aggregate of such loans.

8. It is requested that cooperative banks that have become CBS compliance should also be

included as the eligible banks for the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme.

9. There should be inclusion of Urban Cooperative Banks in the Central Sector Interest Subsidy scheme on Educational Loan for Economically Weaker Sections.

10. Condition of 4% CRAR should be used for granting license only and not for re-finance from the NABARD. Most of the SCBs and DCCBs should be granted status of schedule bank.

11. Package of Vaidaynathan Committee report should be extended for success of long term credit structure in the country.

12. Short term credit cooperative structure should re-focus its business in agriculture credit domain as 65% members did not avail loan facility from cooperative sector.

cooperative eNterpriSe – acceptaBle BUSiNeSS Model

1. The basic ingredient required for the replication of Anand pattern in India is to reduce the involvement of government machinery, bottom up approach rather than top down approach, ensuring member participation and also developing committed and professional leaders.

(Government of India, State Governments, NDDB, GCMMF, NCUI and NCCT).

2. The most important cooperative principle i.e. “Cooperation among cooperatives” if implemented in letter and spirit ensures the tapping of economies of scale. The organizational configuration of cooperatives facilitate them to have both horizontal as well as vertical integration which allows these cooperatives to interact so as to do the business activities among themselves. The basic requirement of ensuring cooperation among cooperatives is to build the mutual trust amongst the cooperatives, and create conducive policy and legal frame work for developing the professional management team.

( G o v e r n m e n t of India, State G o v e r n m e n t s , cooperatives, NCUI and NCCT).

3. It is true that most of the schemes and programmes of the Government of India

do not reach the real beneficiaries at the grass-root level. In order to ensure the outreach of the schemes and programmes, there shall be a effective implementing and monitoring agency both at the Central and State level.

(Government of India, State Governments, Cooperative Federations, NCUI and NCCT)
