These Regulations supersede the Industrial and Provident Societies (Amendment of Fees) Regulations 1992. They generally increase by about% the fees to be paid for matters transacted under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 and 1967. Fees for the inspection of documents are not increased. They also remove fees relating to the hearing of disputes by the Registrar and add both a fee for the posting of copies and an exemption from the registration fee for a society converting from a society registered under the Friendly Societies Act 1974.
