Society Registration in Delhi – Complete Guide (2025)

A Society is a registered group of individuals united by a common objective—be it charitable, cultural, educational, religious, or scientific. Registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, it gives your organization a legal identity to operate, receive donations, hold property, and apply for grants.

If you're looking to start an NGO, cultural body, welfare organization, or RWA (Residents Welfare Association) in Delhi, Society Registration is one of the most credible and structured options.
