Overview

What this is

A society registered under the Societies Registration Act answers to the Registrar of the state it is registered in, and the exact returns differ from state to state — typically an annual list of the governing body, audited accounts, and a record of the general body meeting. Alongside that sit the income-tax filings that follow from any exemption registration the society holds.

Scope

What’s included

  • Preparation of the annual accounts and the audit coordination they need
  • Annual list of the governing body and members for the Registrar
  • General body meeting documentation, including notice, minutes and resolutions
  • Filing with the state Registrar of Societies under its own rules
  • Income-tax return and exemption-related filings where the society is registered for them

Everything above is covered by the professional fee. Anything outside it is quoted before we start it, never after.

Who it suits

Registered societies running schools, clubs, associations, or charitable activity.

If that does not describe you, say so before you commit — there is usually a lighter filing that does the job, and we would rather point you at it.

Cost

What it costs

Our professional fee

Quoted on scope

We have not published a fee for this one. What it takes varies enough with the specifics that a number here would be a guess, and a guess is the one thing a fee should never be. Tell us what you need and you get a fixed figure in writing — before any work starts, and before you owe us anything.

Government & statutory fees

At actuals

Charged separately from our fee and paid to the relevant authority. They vary by state, by authorised capital, and by the slab you fall into, so we confirm the exact figures once we know your specifics.

We do not quote the two together as one number. They are charged by different parties and only one of them is ours. You will have both figures in writing before you decide.

Process

How it runs

  1. Scope and quote

    We confirm what you actually need, what our professional fee covers, and which government fees will apply in your case — in writing, before any work begins.

  2. Documents

    We send a checklist, then review everything you send back before it goes anywhere. Most delays start with a document, not with the authority.

  3. Preparation and filing

    We prepare and file the Society Annual Compliance paperwork, then track the application and respond to any queries raised on it.

  4. Handover

    You receive every acknowledgement and certificate the authority issues, along with a plain-English note on what falls due next and when.

Processing time is set by the relevant authority, not by us. We can file promptly and follow up, but the approval itself sits with the department handling it.

AI advisor

Ask before you commit to anything.

Ask about the fee, the documents, or whether Society Annual Compliance is the right filing for your situation — in plain English, and you get the answer before you get a recommendation.

The advisor gives general guidance, not binding legal or tax advice, and it does not file anything on your behalf. A chartered accountant reviews anything that matters.
