What Is Society Registration?
A Society is an organized group of persons whose main objective is to serve society and not to earn a profit. A society is registered under The Societies Registration Act, 1860 to become a legal entity. A society exists for the purpose of charitable activities such as poverty relief, arts, education, religion, cultures and sports. The Governing body members are entrusted with the management of the affairs of the society. Whereas, the General Body member's duties include the election of governing body members, alteration of rules and regulations, name and objects, if necessary. A foreigner can also become a society member in India.
