• A member may withdraw from the Society indicating his/her wish to do so in a letter addressed to the Secretary. He shall, however, not be entitled for the refund of any fee paid by him/her. Any member so resigning may, however, re-apply for admission.
• Members who do not pay their annual subscription by 31st December shall cease to be the members for the Society. They will have to re-apply for the membership and will not be entitled for the issues of the journal for the concerned year published prior to date of enrolment. A request for the back issues of year, when payment of the membership is delayed beyond 31st December can, however, be made to the Executive Council, which if considered in the interest of the Society, may accept such requests.
• Any member indulging in activities against the interests of Society or the activities, which block the functioning of the Society, shall discontinue to be a member of the Society. The Executive Council will discuss such cases on merit and in case the majority decision is for expelling a member it will refer the matter to the General Body meetings which may be convened for this purpose, if necessary. In case the matter is urgent and the General Body meeting is likely to be delayed, the Executive Council may resort to opinion poll among the members of the Society through secret postal ballot. The members who do not communicate their negative opinion through ballot will be considered to have agreed to the proposal of the Executive. The expulsion will be affected if three fourth or more of the members (on roll on the date of the opinion poll) vote for it. The General Body can expel a member from the Society for a fixed term of two or more years or the entire life period, if it finds that the damage caused by the member to the Society is irreparable. The expulsion orders by the General Body will also apply to the life members, who, however, will continue to receive the journal of the Society free of charge. The expelled members/life members will have neither right to vote nor they can contest for any office of the Society.
