ANSWER: Neither 1 nor 2
 
  • The state legislature shall make provisions for co-option of persons having experience in the field of banking, management, finance or specialisation in any other related field, as members of the board.
  • But, the number of such co-opted members shall not exceed two (in addition to twenty-one directors).
  • Further, the co-opted members shall not have the right to vote in any election of the co-operative society or be eligible to be elected as office bearers of the board.
  • The functional directors of a co-operative society shall also be the members of the board and such members shall be excluded for the purpose of counting the total number of directors (that is, twenty one).
