Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries about society registration in India

A minimum of 7 members are required to register a society in India. These members can be individuals (Indian or foreign), companies, or other registered societies. All members must be listed in the Memorandum of Association.

Typically, the society registration process takes 15 to 30 working days after submission of all documents, depending on the state where you're registering. Some states with online registration facilities may process applications faster.

Memorandum of Association contains the fundamental details of the society (name, objectives, registered office, member details). Rules & Regulations govern the internal management (membership rules, meeting procedures, financial management, dissolution process). Both are required for registration.

Yes, but you need to follow the amendment procedure specified in your Rules & Regulations and file the changes with the Registrar of Societies. This typically requires a resolution passed by 3/4th majority of members and payment of amendment fees.
