Society Registration
Registration under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
Overview
A society is a membership-based body registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (or the corresponding state Act) for literary, scientific, charitable, educational or cultural purposes. It is governed by a memorandum of association and rules and regulations, and managed by an elected governing body that files annual lists of members with the Registrar. Jurisync drafts the memorandum and rules, coordinates registration and sets up the annual compliance calendar.

What you actually pay
Two separate components: Jurisync's professional fee (fixed, shown below) and any government or statutory charge (billed at actuals, receipt shared with you).

|---|---|
| Government / statutory charges | ₹1,000 – ₹5,000 (state Registrar fee) |
