A Cooperative society is a voluntary association of persons and not of capital means that in a cooperative society people are more important than money.
- It is a VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION as it is open to all irrespective of their religion, gender and caste. A person is free to join a cooperative society and can leave any time as per his desire.
- Everyone is entitled to equal voting rights irrespective of their investment in society.
- It emphasizes the value of mutual help and welfare and hence the motive of service dominates its working.
- The surplus, if any, is distributed not according to capital contribution but according to the volume of transactions between the member and the cooperative.
All this clearly shows that money is not that important in a cooperative as is self help and welfare of its members.

Ans 3. Surplus is distributed in a cooperative society partly on the basis of the dividend and capital contribution,
And partly on the basis of number of transactions held between the members and the cooperative.
