How It Works

  1. 1

    Draft MoA and Rules

    We draft the Memorandum of Association (objects and founding members) and Rules & Regulations (governance structure, meetings, finances).

  2. 2

    Member Consent

    All founding members sign the MoA and Rules. Most states require notarisation or attestation by a gazetted officer.

  3. 3

    Registrar of Societies Filing

    Application (Form A or state equivalent) along with MoA, Rules, consent letters, and prescribed fee is submitted to the Registrar of Societies.

  4. 4

    Registration Certificate

    The Registrar registers the society and issues a Registration Certificate with a unique registration number.

  5. 5

    PAN and Bank Account

    We apply for PAN in the society's name and help you open a bank account in the society's name.
