A Society is a group of people who come together for a common charitable, literary, scientific, or social purpose. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 - one of India's oldest laws governing voluntary organizations.
A registered Society is governed by its Memorandum of Association (listing objectives and members) and Rules & Regulations (governing internal management). Each state has its own registration procedure and authority under the respective state amendment to the 1860 Act.
