Registration of society

An apartment owners association may or may not be registered. The registered association can sue or defend any legal action against the association on behalf of the association. The registered association can enjoy all the legal benefits. Any seven or more persons associated with the Apartment Owners Association can register a society under the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Societies Registration Act 2001, by subscribing their names to the memorandum of association.

Every owner of the apartment complex is a member of the Association. To register an Apartment Owners Association, enclose the bye-laws (rules and regulations) of the association and a memorandum with the following details: desired name of the association, aims and objectives of the association, and who in the association will be authorized to correspond with the Registrar of Societies (typically the President of the Association). All applicants need to sign on the application, along with a witness’ signature.

The registration would be warranted for various acts e.g; opening bank a/c etc and would provide legal status to the society.
