What is Society Registration in Odisha?

In Odisha, society registration refers to the formal legal process of establishing your organization as a non-profit or charitable association under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, with amendments made by the Societies Registration (Orissa Amendment) Act, 1969. This process grants your society certain legal benefits and recognition.

Additional Simplified Procedure

Registering a society in Odisha follows a specific process under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the Societies Registration (Orissa Amendment) Act, 1969. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Preparation:
** Define your society’s purpose and objectives: Clearly outline the society’s aims and activities in a written document called the Memorandum of Association.
** Draft bylaws: Establish rules and regulations that govern the society’s internal functioning, elections, membership, and financial management.
** Identify members: List the founding members (minimum 7) along with their names, addresses, and occupation.
** Elect governing body: Choose office bearers like President, Secretary, and Treasurer from the founding members.

Registration process:
1. Application: Download the prescribed application form from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR), Odisha website https://www.igrodisha.gov.in/. Fill it out with all relevant details, including society name, address, objectives, governing body members, and attached documents.
2. Documents required:
** Memorandum of Association (signed by President and Secretary)
** Bylaws of the society (signed by President and Secretary)
** Resolution of the General Body meeting adopting the bylaws (signed by members)
** Copy of notice convening the meeting for adopting bylaws
** Confirmation of resolution by any member present at the meeting
** Affidavit by President and Secretary on oath verifying the documents
** House rent agreement of the society’s registered office (original and copy)
** Identity proof (self-attested copies) of all governing body members
** Treasury challan of Rs. 50 deposited towards registration fee

3. Submission: Submit the completed application form along with all required documents to the office of the IGR, Odisha, in Cuttack. You can also do it online through the Single Window Portal of Invest Odisha https://investodisha.gov.in/goswift/InvestorRegistrationUser.aspx.

4. Verification and scrutiny: The IGR will forward the application to the concerned Additional District Magistrates (ADMs) for verification and report. They may further involve field-level officers for local inquiries.

5. Registration: If everything is found in order, the IGR will grant registration to the society and issue a registration certificate.

6. Post-registration: Open a bank account in the society’s name and deposit the initial subscription fee collected from members. Maintain proper records of all financial transactions.
