Does a mason who is a member in multiple Lodges need to pay GLI dues from all Lodges?

Statutory Grand Lodge of India and Regional Grand Lodge dues are assessed per annum for each member by each individual Lodge in which he holds membership, as an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website notes. A brother who belongs to more than one lodge therefore pays these annual assessments through every lodge in which he maintains membership.

Historically, dual membership—holding active membership in two or more lodges at the same time—has been recognized and permitted in various Masonic jurisdictions 3. Older Masonic jurisprudence, such as that articulated by Mackey, viewed the payment of dues not as a general obligation owed to the institution of Freemasonry at large, but as a local contract and financial arrangement between a Freemason and his specific lodge 12. Under the current constitutional practice of the Grand Lodge of India, however, the required per-member capitation assessments for both the sovereign body and the relevant Regional Grand Lodge are collected annually through each individual lodge on whose roll the Mason is borne.
