The Travencore-Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955

This Act provides the legal framework for registering literary, scientific, and charitable societies in the state of Kerala. It applies to any group of seven or more people who wish to form such an organization. To be recognized, these groups must file a memorandum of association and their rules with a designated Registrar. The law mandates that societies establish a registered office and hold regular general meetings to manage their affairs. By requiring formal registration, the Act ensures transparency and accountability, allowing the government to oversee the management of these non-profit organizations effectively.
