Society Registration
Register a Society under the Societies Registration Act 1860 for clubs, associations, and NGOs
Getting your paperwork right the first time is the biggest factor in how fast society registration completes. Below is the complete document checklist — what's mandatory, what's situational, and how each item is used — so you can assemble everything before you begin.

Tips to avoid delays
- Keep digital copies (PDF or clear photos) of every document ready before you start.
- Make sure names and addresses match exactly across all documents — mismatches are the single most common cause of rejection.
- Use current, unexpired government-issued IDs, and have both originals and self-attested copies on hand.
