How many members are needed for SGM quorum?

For a Special General Meeting (SGM), the quorum is usually the **minimum number of members required under your society’s registered bye-laws and the applicable state cooperative law/rules**. In many housing societies, quorum is set as **a fraction of total members (often one-fifth)**, but this is **not uniform across all states and bye-laws**. So, the correct answer is: **check your society’s registered bye-laws and state-specific cooperative rules**. The notice for the SGM may also mention quorum requirements. If you tell me your **state** (for example, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, etc.), I can give a more specific answer. **Professional review recommended** if there is a dispute about validity of the SGM.
