The original Articles of Association of the Society, prepared by Orr, Dignam & Company, were adopted on 27.2.1939. These underwent changes/modifications, from time to time. The Society was registered under the Companies Act 1913 on 12.10.1951. With the separation of Burma and Ceylon, after independence, the title of the Society necessitated a change and with the acceptance of the Registrar of Companies (accorded on 25.1.1988), the word ‘Eastern’ was deleted and the Society acquired its present name, i.e. The Indian Newspaper Society (INS).

The number of members of the Society increased gradually and in 1999-2000, stood at 709.
