  Registrar, after consulting the Registrars of Cooperative Societies of the
  
  States concerned, has satisfied himself that such amendment fulfils the
  
  requirement of sub-section (2) of section 9, he may register the amendment
  
  within a period of six months from the date of receipt thereof by him:
  Provided that if the Central
  
  Registrar is unable to register the amendment within the period aforesaid, he
  
  shall make a report to the Central Government stating therein the reasons for
  
  his inability to do so, and the Central Government may allow him such further

  certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the amendment has been
  
  registered.
  4.

  the Central Registrar refuses to register an amendment of the bye-laws of a
  
  cooperative society, he shall communicate the order of refusal together with
  
  the reasons therefor to the society in the manner prescribed within seven days
  
  from the date of refusal.

  society under this Act and also forward a copy of the same to the Registrar of
  
  Cooperative Societies of the State concerned.
  c.      The Registrar of
  
  Cooperative Societies referred to in clause (b) shall thereupon make an order
  
  directing that the society had, as from the date of registration by the Central
