Can we form 'plot owners association'? if yes, under which act do we register?

As per the provision of state Societies Registration Act, 2001, society can be registered in the office of the Registrar in which district the society is intended to be established. Registration of society will have legal recognition, and it will be possible to run society legally with discipline.

This is the correct procedure. Though it will be a land owners co-operative society, however, request to kindly prepare a very very well knitted Bye-laws and full of honest rules and regulations.

It all depends on the purpose for which you want to form the association. In the first place you must have a constitution,byelaws or articles of association or a set of rules known by any other. These (constitution or other states the purpose, rights and obligations of the members and rights of the association over the members. Regisration under Societies Registration Act is generally for charitable organisation. It is generally a voluntary organisation and the obligations of members are limited. In many States associations registered under the Societies Registration Act should compelsorily register under the Public or Private Trusts Act also.

If you intend to construct buildings, then you can register under the co-operative societies act or under the companies act. Under these acts the associations can have demands on its members.

You can form any Association and get it registered as well as long as its objectives ar enot illegal / unconsitutional / against public morality.
