Every committee transition should include a documented record handover. A new managing committee should not have to discover missing registers or agreements after taking charge.

Why this matters

A formal handover protects both outgoing and incoming members. It establishes what was received, what was missing and who is responsible for completing the record set.

What to organize

  • Society registration, bye-laws, conveyance and title records
  • Member register, share certificates and transfer forms
  • Minutes books, resolutions and meeting attendance records
  • Accounts, audit reports, bank authorizations and investment records
  • Vendor contracts, staff records, AMCs and insurance papers
  • Property tax, municipal, utility and approval correspondence

A practical workflow

  • Prepare a written handover list before the change of office bearers.
  • Mark each item as received, pending or missing.
  • Record physical file locations and digital access rights.
  • Update bank, portal and operational authorizations promptly.
  • Create follow-up tasks for missing records with target dates.
