What is Society Registration?
A Society is a non-profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (or the applicable state legislation) for promoting charitable, educational, literary, scientific, cultural, sports, or social welfare activities. It is formed by a group of individuals who come together with a common objective to serve society without the intention of earning profits.
A registered Society enjoys legal recognition, making it easier to open bank accounts, receive donations, apply for grants, and collaborate with government departments and corporate CSR initiatives. At NGO Seva Kendra, we provide complete assistance with drafting the Memorandum of Association (MOA), Rules & Regulations, document preparation, and registration, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant process.
