Hi,
Co-operative housing societies come under the control of the Registrar of co-operative societies.
Since in Maharashtra, the managing committees of societies are not covered under RTI act-20005, you may submit the application to PIO, Deputy Registrar of your ward. If he does not have the information with him, he will procure from the managing committee and provide you. In case, if he does not reply you can lodge first appeal wiith the district deputy registrar of your ward. He will call for hearing and most probably satisfy both the parties.Hope, you are in Maharashtra State.
with warm regaards

I had sought information under the RTI Act from the Deputy Registrar Co-op Societies, and I got the following reply:

It is correct to approach our office for information you have requested, but the info you require is with the society's office, therefore you can get this information directly from the society's office too, and the society will also be informed about the same.
PIO's Signature ....../-

cc: Chairman / Secretary

It is hereby informed to the Chairman / Secretary that immediately provide the member with the information, and subequently submit a report to our department that you have provided the information.
PIO's Signature ...../-

Dear Abhi,
It is the duty of the deputy registrar to procure and provide the information from the society's managing committee. People go to him because the managing committee, at times, non-coperative as they want to hide from members certain malfunctioning in the society. Now, as per the instructions, you demand from the managing commiittee your information and get the evidence of their refusal and alongwith the evidence you lodge an appeal with the district deputy registrar of co-operative society under RTI-act 2005, applying court stamp of Rs.20/- as fee.
wish you good luck.
