Notification on Removal of Inactive Societies from the Register under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (10 VI 1 T Sup.)
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notification, file reference No. 6992/A3/2010, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 16 March 2011, authorises cancellation of the registrations of the listed societies as inactive. The action follows Registration Department circular No. 46317/I1/2010 dated 31 August 2010 and is based on failure to file the required annual returns and documents continuously for three years.
What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notification, file reference No. 6992/A3/2010, concerns societies treated as inactive under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It authorises publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette for cancellation of the registrations of the societies named in the schedule.
The stated reason is that the required annual returns and documents were not filed with the Registrar of Societies continuously for three years. The action follows the instructions in Registration Department circular No. 46317/I1/2010 dated 31 August 2010.
Societies covered
The schedule identifies each affected society by serial number, registration number and year, name, and recorded address. The supplied list includes societies and associations registered from 1950 onwards, many with addresses in Salem and surrounding areas.
The named bodies include:
- Educational and school associations.
- Handloom, powerloom, textile and silk manufacturing associations.
- Trade, employee and former servicemen associations.
- Recreation clubs and cultural organisations.
- Marriage hall organisations.
- Agricultural, medical, film exhibition and merchant associations.
Examples include The Bharathi Vidyalaya Sangam, Salem Pon Velli Nagai Tholilalar Sangam, Salem Jilla Lorry Booking Agentgal Association, Doctors Recreation Club, Salem District Landless Farmers Association and Salem District Film Exhibitors Association. A reader should use the registration number, year, name and address together when checking whether a particular society is included.
Who may be affected
The Registration Department notification directly affects the listed societies and their members, office bearers or persons dealing with them. The registrations are proposed for cancellation because of the stated filing default.
Property buyers, owners and professionals may need to check the schedule if a listed society appears in a sale, lease, ownership record or other property document. The notification does not state that ownership of any land is transferred, cancelled or otherwise changed. It addresses the registration status of societies, not individual land records or property titles.
