The Societies Registration Act was enacted in the year :

  • A.1850
  • B.1860
  • C.1870
  • D.1960

Answer: B

The Societies Registration Act was enacted in 1860.

Act XXI of 1860 provides for registering societies formed for literary, scientific or charitable purposes, and it remains the law under which a large number of Indian NGOs and voluntary organisations are registered. Several states have adopted it with their own amendments, and Maharashtra registers societies under it alongside the Bombay Public Trusts Act.

1850, 1870 and 1960 are close distractors. The useful fixed point is that the Act belongs to the same burst of legislation that produced the Indian Penal Code in 1860.
