In early 1896, a pro-term committee was formed and a proposed constitution for the temple was drafted. The temple land at lot 64, lot 83 and lot 84 was purchased and registered under Mr.Samy Natha Pillay and eventually conveyed the said land unto himself and 4 other persons namely Mr.Govinda Pillay, Mr.Pavaday, Mr.Kuppa Muthu and Mr.Karumbairam Padiachee. Lot 64 was maintained as the place of workship (Sri Veeramakaliamman) and the land at lot 83 and 84 was used as burial ground for the Hindu community of Jelutong which is located in the current Bukit Dumbar area.

Whenever a person of who was a worshipper of the Deity died in that community, and the family desired a Hindu burial at the Cemetery, the deceased was interred (buried) in that Cemetery, with all due Hindu religious rituals performed under the aegis of the Temple and its Management Committee, for which the Temple and Management Committee were granted a license by the local authority. As a service on its part, the Temple Management Committee issued Burial Permits and authorized certain private undertakers to conduct the ceremonies, the latter of whom were paid for by the deceased’s family.
On 6th October 1978 marked another milestone in the temple’s history as it was officially registered under the Societies Act 1966 under the name of ‘Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple’ (‘Rumah Berhala Sri Veeramakaliamman’). Subsequently the first management committee was formed to take over the affairs of the temple under the leadership of Mr. N.R. Karuppiah.
The Management Committee of the Temple is elected by the general body of the Jelutong Hindu members every 2 years. The Management Committee of the Temple continues to manage the Temple to this day.
