organization and to equitably share in the benefits
accruing is established.

but as excess payments made by them from the cooperative and
which shall be deemed to have been returned to them if the same
is distributed as prescribed by the Code and by prescribed
Implementing Rules and Regulations . Provided that:
1. the amount allocated for patronage refund shall not be
less than thirty percent (30%) of the net surplus after
deducting the statutory reserves based on the principle of
equity; and

twice the rate of interest on share capital.
