Chief Executive appointment criteria define eligibility, governance roles and prescribed service terms where government holds majority equity. Every multi State co operative society must appoint a full time Chief Executive by the board; the Chief Executive shall be a board member and part of the Executive Committee and other committees. Appointment is subject to eligibility and disqualification rules-age limits (with narrow exception), insolvency, certain criminal convictions, and compliance with fit and proper or prescribed qualification criteria. If Central or State Government holds majority equity, remuneration and service conditions including pension and retirement benefits are to be prescribed.
