Why Society Registration?

The main purpose behind registering your society with RoS is that it helps you avoid trouble later on. If you don’t register your society, then it will not be considered as an entity separate from its members and they might have to face legal consequences if something happens within their association that breaks law or regulations. For example, if an employee joins a company and starts working there without registering himself/herself with RoS as per law, then he/she cannot claim any benefits under EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) Act because they haven’t been officially hired by anyone yet!
