Is there any penalty if we proceed to conduct activities after we have submitted our application to ROS for consideration but before it is approved?

Question

Accepted Answer

It is an offence for a society to conduct its activities before its registration is approved by ROS. Under Regulation 3 of the Societies Regulations, you would be guilty of an offence and would be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $1000 and, where the breach is a continuing one, to a further fine not exceeding $100 for every day after the first day during which the breach continues.
