I have explained the relevant provisions of the Rules (an extract of which is quoted below) and the
consequence of non compliance thereof to Mr./ Mrs./ Miss.
The following is an extract of Rule 40 (A) (v) (d) of the Society for the information of the MEMBER and the
ATTORNEY-AT-LAW :-
“If it shall appear to the Committee that a loan has been granted in reliance upon and incorrect or false
statement made by a member or that the loan has not been applied by the member for the purpose for which it was
granted the Committee may (on inquiry after reasonable notice affording the member an opportunity of furnishing
an explanation in writing) direct that the member shall cease to be a member of the Society as from such date as
the Committee may decide and thereupon the member shall cease to be a member of the Society on that date and
become a member of the Employees’ provident Fund, to which all monies standing to the credit of a member at the
date of cessation of his membership less the unpaid amount of any loan or loans granted by the Contributor under
Rule 43 and to the other provisions of the rules shall be transferred provided always that only if such member shall
not be eligible for membership of the Employees’ Provident Fund, the Committee may permit such member to
remain a member of the Society, but no loan shall thereafter be granted to the member in any circumstances
whatsoever.
The provisions of sub-paragraph (v) (d) shall also apply if the member or his wife shall commit a breach of
the undertaking referred to in the foregoing sub-paragraph (v) (a) unless the member shall on being called upon to
do, repay to the Society the unpaid amount of the loan with all interest thereon”.
