Hi,

Registration of society in India is governed by the Society Registration Act, 1860.  Societies are usually formed with the purpose of promoting charitable causes including education, culture, arts, etc.  Thus there is no embargo on registration of the cultural committee under the housing society.

In response to your query,

Under the Societies Registration Act in India, the Society undertakes specific procedures for registration and operation. The Act was enacted to increase the legal conditions of society’s registration to promote free education, free treatment, fine arts, science to promote the poor and awareness for plentiful purposes. 

There are some essential things to consider before building a society. A minimum of 7 or more persons is required to make the formation of a society minimal. For this, individuals, companies, foreigners, and other registered societies of India can also register for society’s memorandum. Like partnership firms, societies can also be unregistered or registered. However, only the registered society will face the property unanimously or file an assembly against the society.

The state governments maintain society registration. Thus, applications for society registration should be made to the specific authority of the state where the registered office of the society is located. For society registration, the established members must first agree with society’s name and then prepare the society’s memorandum, rules, and laws.
