Computerisation of Registrar of Cooperative Societies Offices

Posted On: 10 MAR 2026 5:01PM by PIB Delhi The project is in progress in 30 States/UTs and has been completed in 5 States/UTs. The State of Kerala has not shown interest in the project. The total funds allocated under the Government of India’s share for the project are ₹82.85 crore (including Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh). Out of this, a total amount of ₹29.02 crore has been released to the States/UTs so far. Under the project, the States/UTs have utilized approximately ₹18 crore for activities such as procurement of hardware, development of software, and other implementation-related requirements for the computerization of the offices of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS). The delay in achieving the target under the Computerization of Offices of Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS) of States/UTs (including Jharkhand) project is due to the following reasons: - Paucity of time during the initial phase of implementation, as only a limited period was available for execution, and many States/UTs were not ready with the mapping of their SNA accounts with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS). Introduction of the new CSNA model in PFMS for the disbursement of funds and delays in mapping States/UTs as child agencies under the system. Delay by several States/UTs in utilizing the released funds due to pending administrative approvals for projects, non-finalization of vendors for software development, delays in hardware procurement, and delay in release of matching grants by the States/UTs, resulting in non-release of subsequent instalments. Further procedural changes, such as the introduction of the SNA SPARSH model and the Treasury Single Account (TSA) model, under which RBI accounts of States/UTs are required to be opened at the regional branch of the Reserve Bank of India in Delhi, which required considerable time to complete the necessary formalities. States have been actively engaged to ensure the smooth and timely implementation of the initiatives of the Ministry. Monthly meetings are organised under the chairmanship of Secretary Cooperation through video conferencing with the States/UTs to review the progress of initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Cooperation. In addition, quarterly review meetings are conducted in physical mode with the Principal Secretaries/Secretaries of the Cooperative Departments of the States and the Registrars of Cooperative Societies of the States/UTs. Recently, the ‘Manthan Baithak’ was held on 17th February 2026 under the chairmanship of the Hon’ble Union Home and Cooperation Minister, with the participation of the Hon’ble Cooperation Ministers of States/UTs. The implementation of the project by the majority of the States/UTs is currently in progress. A few States/UTs have only recently completed the project; therefore, it is too early to assess the measurable improvements in the functioning of the RCS offices. The Ministry does not maintain district-level data on the Computerization of Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS). However, out of the total sanctioned PACS of 6,257 in Uttar Pradesh, 3,057 PACS have been computerized. The count of cooperative societies registered in the National Cooperative Database (NCD), state-wise and district-wise (including Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh), is enclosed in Annexure I. As the implementation of the projects is currently in progress in the majority of States/UTs, it is too early to assess the impact of these initiatives on transparency, compliance efficiency, and service delivery in the cooperative sector. ******** Annexure &ndash; I State-wise & District-wise total Number of cooperative societies (As on 06-03-2025) S.
