02 August 2025 Since your goal is community activity, festival celebration, and social cohesion — not business or profit — you should form a:
✅ Society (under Societies Registration Act, 1860)
Why?
Designed for cultural, social, or welfare activities
Has a democratic structure
Encourages transparency and fund usage rules
You can open a bank account, apply for PAN, and even later get 12AB exemption if needed
