Society (NGO) Memorandum and Rules

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Nothing is amiss in what you have written. The document is simply not finished, and the draft marks each gap where an answer will go.

Clearing empties every box on this form, and there is no way back to what was in them.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION AND RULES OF __________

PART ONE: MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

1. Name. The society is called __________ (the Society).

2. Registered office. The registered office is at __________. The Society works in __________.

3. Objects. The Society is formed for charitable and public-good purposes only: __________.

PART TWO: RULES

9. Money and accounts. The Society's income and property are used only for its objects. No part of it is paid or handed to any member or office-bearer as profit, except repayment of expenses properly spent for the Society, or reasonable pay for a separate service actually given, as the governing body approves in writing and the law allows. Money is kept in an account in the Society's own name, operated by the persons the governing body authorises by resolution. Proper accounts are kept and examined every year.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: The Society is registered by the Registrar of Societies for the district of its registered office under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, as that Act applies in Punjab. The Memorandum is subscribed by at least seven persons. The covering application and verification affidavit are separate papers; see the Society Registration Application in this library.

Chandigarh: The Society is registered by the Registrar of Societies, Chandigarh under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, as that Act applies in the Union Territory. The same filing papers are separate from this document.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this society memorandum and rules is to identify the founders and the first governing body, record the Society's objects and rules, and support its registration.

If the matter does not proceed, the personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the matter proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statute requires a longer named retention period.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or bank credentials.

SIGNATURE

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
