What is Society Registration?

Society Registration is a formal legal process for groups of individuals coming together for a common objective, such as charitable work, literary promotion, or social welfare. It is governed by the Societies Registration Act, 1860.

A registered society acts as a separate legal entity, meaning it can own assets, open bank accounts, and sue or be sued in its own name. It is one of the most flexible and popular forms of Non-Profit Organizations (NGOs) in India, particularly for local and state-level social initiatives.

Advantages of Society Registration

Provide your mission with the formal recognition it deserves.

Separate Entity

The society is distinct from its members, allowing for continuity even if members leave or change.

Govt Support

Registration is a prerequisite for receiving government grants and subsidies for social projects.

Tax Exemptions

Eligible for 12A and 80G tax exemptions, encouraging individuals and corporates to donate to your cause.

Membership Requirements

Essential criteria for formation:

  • Member Count: Minimum 7 members are required for state-level registration.
  • National Level: Minimum 8-10 members from different states for national registration.
  • Governing Body: A President, Secretary, and Treasurer must be appointed.

Documents Required

  • KYC: PAN Card & Aadhaar Card of all the founding members.
  • Office Proof: Utility bill/Rent Agreement + NOC for the society's address.
  • MOA & Bylaws: Detailed documents drafted by us covering the society's rules.
  • Affidavit: Letter from the President/Secretary regarding the society's name.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a Trust and a Society?
A Trust is usually managed by a few trustees for the benefit of beneficiaries. A Society is a more democratic organization governed by a general body and managed by an elected executive committee.
2. Can family members register a society together?
While not legally barred in all states, it is strongly recommended that the founding members are not related. This ensures better transparency and significantly improves the chances of approval by the Registrar.
3. Can a Society own property and handle bank accounts?
Yes, a registered society is a separate legal entity. It can buy property, receive donations, and operate bank accounts under its own unique name and Permanent Account Number (PAN).
