The most widely registered society type in India. Designed to serve public welfare — social upliftment, poverty relief, women empowerment, and community development — with full legal recognition.

Establish a school, college, arts centre, or cultural institution under a registered society. Get government recognition, grant eligibility, and all tax benefits available under the law.
Our expert understands your goals and recommends the best society type for your needs.
We verify your proposed society name with the state Registrar to confirm availability.
Our Advocates draft the Memorandum of Association and bye-laws tailored to your objectives.
We file the application with all member declarations and supporting documents at the Registrar office.
You receive the Registration Certificate, followed by PAN and bank account opening assistance.
A registered society is a legal entity that can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.
Get 12A income tax exemption on society surplus and 80G certification so your donors can claim tax deductions.
Only a registered society can open a dedicated bank account in the society's name — essential for financial transparency.
Become eligible to receive foreign grants and donations from international organisations after FCRA registration.
Registered societies with 80G and 12A can receive CSR funding from corporate entities under the Companies Act.
The society continues to exist regardless of changes in membership — ensuring continuity of your mission forever.
Your registration is handled exclusively by qualified Advocates, Company Secretaries and Chartered Accountants — not junior assistants.

"We wanted to register our community welfare society in Chennai and Regalwhiz made it completely stress-free. MOA was drafted professionally and the certificate came in 18 days. Highly recommend!"
"Got our Resident Welfare Association registered for our apartment complex in Bengaluru. The team explained everything clearly, handled all government filings, and we received our certificate without any hassle."
"Our educational society registration was completed smoothly. Regalwhiz also helped us get 12A and 80G within 3 months. The WhatsApp updates throughout the process were very reassuring."
"Professional, fast and affordable. Our cultural society was registered within 20 days. The Advocates drafted our bye-laws perfectly, covering all governance aspects we needed for our arts organisation."
"We were confused between registering a trust vs society for our women's empowerment NGO. Regalwhiz guided us clearly, chose the society route, and handled everything — including 80G application — end to end."
"Second time using Regalwhiz — first for company registration, now for our sports society in Pune. Consistent quality, transparent pricing, and no hidden charges. Will always recommend them."
Under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, a minimum of 7 founding members are required to register a society. All members must be individuals (not companies), and at least one must be appointed as President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Some states may have additional requirements, and our team will advise you based on your target state.
Typically 15–20 working days from the date all documents are submitted. Processing time may vary slightly by state — Delhi is usually faster, while some other states may take slightly longer. Our team tracks your application and keeps you informed throughout the process.
All three are NGO structures, but differ in governance and purpose. A Society (governed by Societies Registration Act, 1860) is ideal for member-based organisations like clubs and associations. A Trust (governed by state trust acts) is simpler but has fewer governance requirements. A Section 8 Company (under Companies Act, 2013) offers the strongest governance structure and credibility. Our experts will recommend the best structure for your specific objectives during the free consultation.
Yes, but a registered society must additionally obtain FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration or prior permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs before accepting foreign contributions. Regalwhiz assists with FCRA applications after society registration is complete.
No, they are not mandatory — but highly recommended. 12A provides income tax exemption on the society's surplus income, while 80G allows your donors to claim a tax deduction on donations made to your society. Together, they make your society far more attractive to donors, CSR partners, and grant-making agencies. We provide complete assistance for both applications after registration.
Yes. Registered societies must hold annual general meetings, maintain proper accounts, file income tax returns (even if income is exempt), and renew registration in some states periodically. Failure to comply can result in de-registration. Regalwhiz offers ongoing annual compliance packages to help you stay fully compliant without worry.
