C. An association shall limit the interest it pays on membership capital or stock to an amount not greater than eight percent (8%) per annum.

D.

The distribution of such balances may be restricted to members or be made at the same or a different rate for members and nonmembers. The bylaws may provide that any distribution to a nonmember, eligible for membership may be credited to such nonmember until the amount thereof equals the value of a membership certificate or a share of the association's common stock.
