I think this society (Housing Welfare Society) was registered under Socities Registration Act, 1860(amendment Act of 35/2001). There are some executive instructions regarding filing of minutes every year and if missed some years, may be considered upto 5 to 10 years maximum. however consult in local District Registrar personally for further details.

If your society was not registered earlier, there is no law denying its registration as on today. Obtain the services of either local lawyer dealing in the registration of the societies or chartered accountant who generally deal in such matters. The formalities for the registration are simple.
