Annual Compliance for Society in India

Q: What is the main law that governs societies in India?

The Societies Registration Act, 1860, is the primary law governing societies in India. However, many states have their versions or amendments of the Act, which societies must also comply with.

Q: Can a society be run from a residential address?

Q: What is the role of the Registrar of Societies?

The Registrar of Societies oversees the registration, annual compliance, record-keeping, and governance of societies. They ensure societies operate legally and transparently and can take action in cases of fraud, disputes, or non-compliance.

Q: How can we check if a society is legally registered?

You can check a society's registration status online through the official website of the respective state's Registrar of Societies. Enter the registration number or society name to access details like registration date, compliance records, and governing body members.

Q: What happens if a society fails to comply with annual filing requirements?

Non-compliance can lead to: Penalties or late fees. Ineligibility for government aid or grants. Legal notices or inquiries from the Registrar. In extreme cases, the cancellation of the society’s registration and the winding up of its affairs.
