A Society is one of the most widely used legal structures for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in India. It is ideal for groups working collectively for public welfare or non-profit objectives.
Societies can operate at a state level or across India, depending on the scope defined in their Memorandum of Association.
Societies in India are primarily governed by the Societies Registration Act, 1860, though several states have introduced their own state-specific rules and amendments.
