The Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, provides the legal framework under which Bharat Taxi has been registered as a cooperative ride-hailing platform. This Act enables cooperatives to operate across multiple states while ensuring democratic governance and member ownership. By registering under this Act, Bharat Taxi functions as a driver-owned entity rather than a privately controlled company. The structure supports fair income distribution, low commissions, and collective decision-making. It reflects the government’s broader push to strengthen the cooperative sector and promote inclusive, people-centric economic models in emerging digital and mobility services.
