This Act amends the Societies Registration Act of 1860 to apply to the Union territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu. It replaces the Registrar with the Inspector-General and adds new definitions. The legislation introduces strict rules for society names, prohibiting registration of deceptive or government-suggesting titles. It also establishes a renewal process for registration certificates, setting a five-year validity period and specific fees, while empowering the Inspector-General to refuse renewal if a society violates existing rules.
