Need some guidelines.

Q: Recently I have shifted to an apartment and all the flat owners want to form a society. How is a society formed? Does it required any registration?

A minimum of seven person required to form a society, a memorandum should be prepared which will include the name of the society, objects, name, address and occupation of the member of the committee. A society need to make a bye-law for conducting the affair of the society which have to be filled by the registrar of the societies. If the bye-laws and memorandum are in accordance with the legal requirement then the same can be registered. The bye-law or memorandum have to be typewritten or printed and should be signed by all the members of the society.
