Mangalore: State govt imposes regulations on non-agricultural, multipurpose co-operative societies

ಕೃಷಿಯೇತರ, ವಿವಿಧೋದ್ದೇಶ ಸಹಕಾರ ಸಂಘದ ಮಿತ್ತ್ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನಿಯಮನ್ ವಿಧಿಸಾವುಂಡು.

Mangalore: Effective April 1, 2024, non-agricultural and multipurpose cooperative societies are no longer permitted to set interest rates for deposits and loans arbitrarily, as per an order issued by the state government. This decision, enacted under Column 3B of the Karnataka Cooperative Societies Act of 1959, aims to safeguard the interests of both depositors and borrowers.

Non-agricultural and multipurpose cooperative societies are no longer permitted to set interest rates for deposits and loans arbitrarily

In accordance with the RBI Act of 1934 and the Banking Regulation Act of 1949, cooperative societies are directed not to contravene the directives of the Controller of Cooperative Societies. However, it has been observed by the RBI that these rules are being disregarded.

The government and the finance department have received numerous complaints regarding the lack of financial prudence and the imposition of high interest rates on loans by cooperative societies. There are also allegations that interest rates offered on deposits do not align with the credit needs of the members. These issues have been deliberated in both houses of the legislature and in meetings convened by the RBI.

The situation escalated as the government received numerous reports of fund misappropriation and defrauding of depositors by cooperative societies. Despite several directives issued to protect the interests of the public and borrowers, cooperative societies have failed to comply.

Harish Acharya, president of Vishwakarma Cooperative Bank, Mangalore, expressed concerns that the new government order would impede the growth of cooperative societies. He asserted that cooperative societies operate autonomously and should not be subject to government interference. He announced plans to challenge the state government’s order in the high court.

Under the new order, only the State Bank of India (SBI) will determine interest rates for various types of deposits, with an additional 2% interest rate. Senior citizens may be offered an additional 0.5% interest. Pygmy collection deposits are subject to a maximum commission of 3%. Primary cooperative societies or firms formed under the law are prohibited from collecting deposits. Cooperative funds cannot be invested in the stock market. Deposits cannot be accepted by offering commissions and incentives through marketing executives, as cooperatives are local financial institutions. Additional resources can only be invested in District Central Cooperative or Apex Banks. The maximum interest rate on loans should not exceed 12%, with an additional interest rate of 2% in case of default. Management must revise interest rates and submit reports to the district sub registrar of cooperative societies. Senior cooperative officers must conduct quarterly reviews of interest rates, and strict action will be taken against violators. Any departmental officer failing to implement directives will face disciplinary action.

New Delhi: Supreme Court stays Karnataka board exam results for classes 5, 8, 9, 11

New Delhi: The Supreme Court issued a stay on the Karnataka High Court’s decision to conduct ‘Board Examinations’ for classes 5, 8, 9, and 11 of schools affiliated with the Karnataka State Education Board (KSEAB). The decision came in response to an appeal challenging the high court’s judgment, which had upheld the state’s authority to conduct these exams, dismissing petitions against their conduct.

Supreme Court stays Karnataka board exam results for classes 5, 8, 9, 11

The Supreme Court’s stay order prevents the declaration of any results from these exams, which had recently resumed as per the High Court’s directives. This marks the second time the Supreme Court has intervened against the KSEAB exams, following a previous stay order issued on March 12, shortly after the high court’s initial ruling was challenged. The high court had justified its decision by stating that the KSEAB exams did not meet the criteria to be considered ‘Board Exams’ in the conventional sense, as they lacked certain key features such as public display of results and grading by external evaluators.

However, the Supreme Court has now stayed the results pending further review, indicating a prima facie disagreement with the high court’s decision.

Mangalore: A devastating fire engulfed a house on April 6 near Juma Masjid in Bunder, Mangalore.

Fortunately, all the occupants managed to evacuate the premises safely, and there were no casualties reported.

Promptly responding to the emergency, personnel from the Pandeshwar fire service arrived at the scene with two fire service vehicles. Their swift action helped bring the fire under control and prevented it from spreading to nearby buildings.

Initial investigations suggest that an electrical short circuit triggered the fire. The residents, observing Ramzan fasting, were still asleep until around 11 am when passersby noticed smoke billowing from the house’s roof. Alerted by the onlookers, the occupants quickly evacuated the premises.

Unfortunately, the fire ravaged all the belongings inside the house, leaving nothing but ashes. Sajina, one of the family members affected by the tragedy, expressed their dire situation, stating that they lacked even basic amenities like a pot for drinking water. They appealed to the district administration for assistance in this challenging time.

He expressed apprehensions that BJP functionaries might try to stop from using the prime minister’s images. “I guess the BJP candidate is trying to get a stay on using Modi’s photo and I have filed the caveat to prevent such circumstances,” he said in Sagar.

“Modi is our leader,” he said. BJP nominee and former CM BS Yediyurappa’s son BY Raghavendra has accused Eshwarappa of creating confusion among voters and misusing Hindutva for his personal gains. Eshwarappa, whose son was not considered for the party ticket for the neighbouring Haveri constituency, rebelled against the state BJP alleging Yediyurappa promoted the interests of only his family members and other close associates.
