This query is : Resolved
If a Society is registered under the above Act and if there is a change in the composition of its Governing Body, will it be necessary to file any return with the Registrar?Is it required to file its any Annual Return/Accounts with the Registrar?
The above information is urgently required in connection with a Society formed in our colony for welfare purposes?

Dear Ganesan,
Thanks for your comments.However, from my perusal of the relevant Act,it appears that the provisions are as under:
As per the Socities Registration Act,1860 Annual list of managing body to be filed
Once in every year, on or before the fourteenth day succeeding the day on which, according to the rules of the society, the annual general meeting of the societies is held, or, if it rules do not provide for an annual general meeting, in the months of January, list shall be filed with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies, of the names, addresses and occupations of the governors, council, director, committee, or other governing body then entrusted with the management of the affairs of the society.
Provisions for filing Annual Returns alongwith the Auditors Report thereon are governed by the provisions of the State Socities Registration Act.
In view of the above,it is not clear to me according to you under which provision of the Act , in case of any change in the composition of the Commitee,Return is to be filed within 3 months with the Registrar.Section 17 referred to by you is applicable in case of new registration only.

Dear Makkad,
Thanks for your comments but I am still confused.According to Mr.Ganesan intimation is to be given to the Registrar with 3 months from the date of election,whereas according to your views no such intimation is required to be given within 3 months of such change.Is the word'no' is a typographical error in your comments?
