(3) The special officer or the managing committee appointed under sub- section (1) shall, subject to the control of the Registrar and to such directions as he may, from time to time, give, have power to exercise all or any of the functions of the committee or of any officer of the society and to take such action as may be required in the interests of the society. (4) The Registrar may fix the remuneration payable to the special officer or the managing committee appointed under sub-section (1). The amount of remuneration so fixed and such other expenditure incidental to the management of the society during the period of supersession as may be approved by the Registrar shall be payable from the funds of the society.
