This query is : Resolved
Naming a society:
Recently some of my friends tried to form a society. While preparing of the Memorandum, they took help from an experience NGO member. During that, I heard that a society must contain the location name and the word SOCIETY within the name. ie, Kolkata Blind education society. Is this true? What if I remove the location Kolkata from the name? Will the application be rejected for that reason?
If the location is a must, then on what basis? Can we use village or city name like Kolkata ? Can we use District name like Darjeeling Blind education society? Can we use state name as West Bengal Blind education society? Or can we use country name like Indian Blind education society?
When I googled about names of registered society, I could not find such condition.
Waiting for your kind reply.

There are certain mandatory requirements for registration of a society wherein Memorendum of Association and Articles of Association has to be submitted to concerned Registrar of Societies under the provisions of Societies Registration Act, 1860.
It is better to seek professional services of a local prudent lawyer for proper advise and necessary proceeding.
