Forming An Association

Hi,
I wanted to form Association in India and had following query:
1. There is already an association (eg. Association of Mutual Funds in India), can I form my association for mutual funds in India with a different name.
2. If no to the above question, my association will have different objective, in AMFI, membership is available to companies registered with SEBI, in my association all Mutual Funds companies can avail membership, then can I form my association of mutual funds in India.
Thanks,
Akansha.

Hi,
Please let me know some websites which can throw complete light on Formation, Types, etc of Unincorporated and Incorporated Association in India.
Thanks.

Such type of formation of such association needs approval from govt. body and only after approval the whole planning and strategies also can be implemented only after the approval.

Hi,
I receives a reply from one of your contributing member that it is possible to from an association
He did not mention anything about approval from government body.
Now Im not sure whos advice is correct.
