The Societies Registration (Nagaland First Amendment) Act, 1969
The Societies Registration (Nagaland First Amendment) Act, 1969, is a legislative update to the central Societies Registration Act, 1860, specifically tailored for the State of Nagaland. Its primary purpose is to streamline the administration of registered societies by replacing the "Registrar of Joint Stock Companies" with a dedicated "Registrar of Societies." The Act introduces mandatory filing requirements for changes in governing bodies and internal rules, establishes a formal procedure for societies to change their names, and defines penalties for non-compliance. For the ordinary citizen, this ensures that non-profit organizations and societies remain transparent, accountable, and legally compliant within the state.
