What is the Affidavit for Registration of Society?

It is a crucial document for society registration in India, serving as a declaration by the society’s governing members. It confirms the society's formation, the authority of its office-bearers, and that its members are not related.

1. The affidavit should include details like the society's name, purpose, office address, and a declaration by the President or Secretary.

2. It should state that no members are blood relatives and confirm the governing body's authority to manage society's affairs.

3. Use the prescribed stamp paper value (varies by state). Ensure the affidavit follows the required format as per the Registrar of Societies guidelines.

To get this, you can follow the below procedure.

1. Visit a notary public.

2. Fill out a standard affidavit form with the asked information regarding your society, and have it signed and stamped.

3. A Notary Public, Oath Commissioner, or Gazetted Officer must sign the affidavit. 

4. The deponent (President or Secretary) must affirm the document’s correctness.

Upon verification, the society receives a Certificate of Registration. I hope you found this helpful.
