On receipt of an application for conversion of a Co-operative Society into a Producer Company, the ROC’s will seek a written consent from the local Co-operative Department of the concerned state, certifying that the Society desirous of being converted into a Producer Company, under part IX A of the Companies Act, 1956, has no dues payable to the State at the time of such conversion and the Cooperative Department has ‘no objection’ to its being converted into a Producer Company. Further, the ROC’s need to satisfy themselves fully that the applicant society has indeed extended its activities outside the State where it is registered a Co-operative Society under the local/State level Law governing Co-operative Societies which are not inter State Co-operative Societies.
