Regulation 22

Every person voluntarily seeking admission into a welfare home shall make an application in writing to the Director-General who shall cause an investigation to be made into the mode of life and antecedents of such person to ascertain whether such person is a destitute person.

If after making such investigation the Director-General is satisfied that such person is a destitute person within the meaning of the Act, he shall require the person to undertake in writing that, if admitted, he will abide by the conditions of admission imposed under the Act or any rules made thereunder.

Every written undertaking shall be sufficient authority for the person-in-charge of a welfare home to admit the destitute person concerned into the welfare home.
