Constitution Section 243ZT — Continuance of existing laws

Part IXB — THE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES

Constitutional

Summary

Any state law about co-operative societies that existed before the 97th Amendment came into effect will remain valid even if it conflicts with this Part of the Constitution. However, that law will only stay in force until it is changed or cancelled by the proper law-making body, or until one year after the amendment took effect—whichever happens first.

Official Text

Notwithstanding anything in this Part, any provision of any law relating to co-operative societies in force in a State immediately before the commencement of the Constitution (Ninety-seventh Amendment) Act, 2011, which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Part, shall continue to be in force until amended or repealed by a competent Legislature or other competent authority or until the expiration of one year from such commencement, whichever is less.
