Queries on society registration

I need clarifications on these:

1) If theres a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and the rest as Executive Members will that be ok or do we need to have a V.P. and a Joint Secretary too?

2) Can the Treasurer or Secretary be from another State? (I was told that relatives, like Husband & wife, shouldn't be there otherwise govt. projects/programmes/grants wont be given)

3) Can the Society Jurisdiction be for the whole state? or restricted to district/Hyderabad only? What are the requirements for a national-level society?

4) Role of Founder. Is he all-powerful? Can he appoint/terminate any member? Can he dissolve the General/Executive Body ?

5) Can the Founder also be the President?

6) Are the Designations (Pr., Sec., Tresurer) given in the General Body or are they in the Executive Body?

7) Whats the difference/relationship between General Body and Executive Body?

8) Is there a time limit for the members to hold office or is it a Society's preference?

9) How frequently should the General/Executive Body Meeting be held? what frequency is optimum, monthly or quarterly? (Of course there HAS TO BE an Annual Meeting)

10) If the address is a rented home of the President, is that ok? Along with the rental agreement, will the Landlord's NOC be required?

Usually the governing body comprises of members chosen from among the members of the society or in some cases if the Government feels necessary, a nominee can be appointed by the Government in the Governing Body for public interest.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the society is held according to the rules and regulations of the society generally once in a year or as is defined in Sec 4 of the Societies Registration Act.
