ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Dental Association (PDA) has officially secured its registration under the Societies Registration Act, XXI of 1860, with the Islamabad Capital Territory Administration. This milestone marks a significant evolution from its earlier registration under the Islamabad Capital Territory Charities Registration, Regulation, and Facilitation Act, 2021. The registration certificate was issued with the formal acknowledgment of the Islamabad Administration on December 31, 2024.
The PDA is now registered as a society, solidifying its legal status to advance dental education, promote oral health awareness, and provide support to dental professionals across Pakistan.
The recent registration under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, emphasizes the PDA's commitment to fulfilling all compliance requirements. The PDA is now responsible for submitting progress reports, audited accounts, and other necessary documentation annually to ensure its registration remains valid.
This transition underscores the PDA’s dedication to expanding its legal and operational scope to better serve dental professionals and the broader public.
