Section 8 deals with the registration of amendments to the Memorandum of Association (MOA) or Articles of Association of the Society. As per the Societies Registration Act, 1860, societies registered under this Act may, from time to time, amend their MOA or rules and regulations to reflect changes in their objects, governance process, or performance requirements. Section 18 sets out the specific procedure for making such changes. Requires that any amendment to the MOA or the rules and regulations of the association must be appropriately passed by resolution at a general meeting of the association, called for that purpose. The resolution must be voted in favor of a majority of the members present at the meeting in accordance with the rules laid down in the articles of association. Once a decision to amend is passed, Section 18 mandates that a copy of the amendment, along with a copy of the original MOA or rules and regulations, be filed with the Organizational Registrar or the designated authority within a specified period. The Secretary then reviews and records these changes, updating the association’s official records accordingly. This framework ensures that states in India can adapt to changing circumstances, change their objectives or business strategies, and remain compliant with regulatory requirements while successfully pursuing their stated objectives . . . . Thus Section 8 of the Registration of Societies Act plays an important role in the governance and flexibility of registered societies in India.
