Renewal of Societies under Society Registration Act Xxi of 1860
Prior to 12-07-1996 the validity was not given in the registration certificate. It was introduced from the year 1996 by the then Registrar Shri Biswajit Bordoloi and for the purpose the Director of Printing and Stationery was requested to print some important provision of the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 along with validity in the body of the registration certificate. Prior to 20-12-2001 the procedure of renewal of certificate of registration of society was not introduced as the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 is quite silent in this regard in respect of Assam. It was introduced in Assam from 2001 as per Govt. instructions issued vide letter No.FTX.185/2001/63 dated 20-12-2001. Validity of certificate of registration is issued for a period of 3 (three) years. Hence, renewal is being done after 3 (three) years.
