Overview of Society Registration

A society is an association of individuals united by a common interest, working together to achieve a shared goal. In India, society registration and operations are governed by the Societies Registration Act of 1860, which aims to facilitate the promotion of humanities, sciences, literature, and knowledge exchange for a charitable cause.

To function legally, societies must be registered under this Act. In India, societies are primarily formed for charitable purposes. The founding members must meet specific requirements set out in the Act to register a society in a particular state. Additionally, societies must comply with post-registration regulations as mandated by the competent authority to maintain their legal standing.
