Indian Physics Association

<20> General :

All the provisions of the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 will apply to this Association.
INDIAN PHYSICS ASSOCIATION Ballot for amendment of the constitution of the Indian Physics (IPA).

Following the rather steep increase in the expenses of the Association in the recent years, both organisational and publication expenses, it has become necessary to increase the membership fees and subscription of all categories of members. This requires amendments to the rules of the Association. It is, therefore, proposed that the concerned articles of the constitution be amended as under:
Article <8.8> shall read as: ``The Association shall provide financial support for the maintenance of the chapters. This shall consist of Rupees 20 per member (including life member and associate member) covered by the chapter. The chapters are authorised to raise funds for specific purposes with the prior concurrence of the Executive Committee''.

Article 16.2 shall read as: ``The admission fee and Annual subscription shall be as follows:-

Category of Membership	Subscription
a) Life Member
Indian	Rs. 2000.00
Foreign	US $500.00
b) Associate Member (Annual)
Indian	Rs. 200.00
Foreign	US $50.00
c) Institutional Member	Rs. 10000.00
d) Student Member	Rs. 100.00
e) Library Subscription
Indian	Rs. 500.00
Foreign	US $50.00

A member who has been continuously on the rolls of the association for 5 years or more shall have the right to compound for future payment by a single payment of Rs.1500/- only.
