Registration of Society
Place of Registration:
The registration of a society is to be done under the Act wherever obtaining the registration and not in the State where the benefit is claimed. Once the person proposing to form a society has decided upon the name of the society and has prepared drafts of Memorandum and Rules and Regulations of the society, procedure adopted in following paragraphs may be adopted for getting the society registered.
Signing of Memorandum of Association:
All the subscribers (minimum seven) should sign each page of the memorandum and the signatures should be witnessed by either an Oath Commissioner, Notary Public (Rs. 3/- Notarial stamp duty affixed), Gazetted Officer, Advocate, Chartered Accountant or 1st Class Magistrate with their rubber / official stamp and complete address.
Persons desirous of forming a society should also become members of the first governing body. An outsider cannot become member of the governing body in the first instance.
Signature on Rules and Regulations:
The Rules should be signed by atleast three members of the governing body. Following certificate should be given at the end of the rules and regulations: ""Certified that this is the correct copy of rules and regulations of the Society"".
File the required documents with the Registrar of Societies
Following papers should be filed with the Registrar of Societies for registration of a society under the principal Act or corresponding Acts enacted by various State Governments:
Covering letter requesting for registration stating in the body of letter various documents annexed to it. It should be signed by all the subscribers to the memorandum or by a person authorised by all of them to sign on their behalf
Memorandum of Association in duplicate along with a certified copy (as per Sec. 3 of the Principal Act). It should be neatly typed and pages serially numbered
Rules and Regulations / Bye-laws in duplicate duly signed

Documentary proof such as House Tax receipt, rent receipt in respect of premises shown as Registered Office of the society or no objection certificate from the owner of the premises
Registration Fee
Normally fee of Rs 50/- is payable as registration fee of a society and it should accompany the request for registration payable in cash or by Demand Draft. In Union Territory of Delhi the Registrar intimates the applicant society by a letter stating that all the formalities have been completed and the documents filed are acceptable.
