Society Registration

Overview

Bring people together for a common cause

A society is an association of persons who come together for a charitable, literary, scientific, educational or social welfare purpose. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 and is governed by a managing committee.

A society needs a minimum of seven members, a Memorandum of Association describing its objectives, and rules and regulations for its working. Once registered, it can also apply for 12A and 80G to enjoy tax benefits.

Our experts prepare your documents and complete the registration with the Registrar of Societies.
