Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You are amalgamating societies and want a new name. The Registrar checks if the new name is okay. If the Registrar thinks the name does not comply with section 11(1) of the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, they will not let the amalgamation proceed. You need to change the proposed name to fix the issue. The Registrar will not act until you change the name. You must change the name to satisfy the Registrar. The Registrar is referring to rules in section 11(1) and section 198. They will not proceed until the name is changed. You must amend the proposed name to address the matter.
