The Service Societies registered under the AP (Telangana Area) Public Societies Registration Act, 1350F and the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and AP Societies Registration Act, 2001 have been nominated by APIIC as its Nodal Agencies to assist in collection of Property taxes and maintenance of civic services in the Industrial Areas. Thus the APIIC has nominated 99 Nos of Service Societies as Nodal Agencies to APIIC Ltd., in respect of 183 Industrial Areas, out of 287 areas notified by Government.
The Commissioners/Executive Officers are discharging their duties as per the powers delegated by the Govt of AP in Industrial Areas.
