Societies Registration Act, 1860 with State Amendments

This authoritative edition of the Societies Registration Act, 1860 with State Amendments offers an exhaustive and practical reference for individuals and institutions involved in setting up and managing societies in India. It presents the original legislative framework governing the registration, administration, and functioning of societies formed for charitable, literary, scientific, cultural, and public welfare purposes. A major strength of this edition is the inclusion of all major State Amendments, which are critical because society registration is regulated differently across various states.

The book elaborates on essential areas such as memorandum drafting, management committee powers, property management, dissolution of societies, dispute resolution, and oversight by the Registrar. It also highlights practical considerations and statutory variations that influence day-to-day functioning of societies, making it a valuable resource for NGOs, trusts, educational institutions, and welfare organizations. Carefully structured and edited, this edition serves students, practitioners, administrators, and researchers by delivering clarity on statutory provisions while ensuring ease of reference. Whether for legal practice, academic study, or organizational governance, this book remains the definitive guide to understanding society laws in India.
