Society Registration
A society is a membership-based organisation registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 (or the applicable state act). It requires a minimum of 7 members and is governed by a Memorandum of Association and Rules & Regulations. Societies are commonly used for literary, scientific, charitable, educational, and sports organisations. BSP Associate drafts the MOA and Rules, files for registration with the Registrar of Societies in Tamil Nadu, and handles subsequent 12A and 80G registrations.
