About Us

Bait-Un-Nas'r was set up as an Urban Co-operative Credit Society, on Friday, 1st October 1976, under the Maharashtra Co-op. Societies Act, 1960. It was registered with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies to operate on banking lines, but without interest, with the registration number BOM/RSR/786 OF 1976.

Most of the senior staff members had been earlier associated with the Society for long periods of the order of 20 years of selfless and sincere service. They had excellent relations with the ordinary members and were well versed with the functioning of the Society and its rules as well as the regulations governing the operations of the Society. They were also fully aware of the genesis of the problem that had led to the suspension of operations and hence best suited to lead the efforts for re-s

The Liquidator and Dy. Registrar agreed for the revival of the Society and called a Special General Meeting of the members on 7th Nov 2012 and presented the revival scheme (to pay off the liabilities of the depositors and creditors by selling some excess real estate assets of the Society, barring any branch premises) which was approved by the members present.
