1975-ஆம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச்சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)(b)-ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை (எண் 357/அ2/2018)
The Tamil Nadu Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, under Department Heads' Notifications, published Notification Number 357/அ2/2018 on March 7, 2018, warning that the listed societies had not filed required documents for more than three years. Their names would be removed from the register of societies if an acceptable explanation was not received within three months from publication.
What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, under Department Heads' Notifications, published Notification Number 357/அ2/2018 on March 7, 2018. It identifies societies treated as inactive because documents required to be filed under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 had remained unfiled for more than three years.
The notice begins a process that may result in the listed societies being removed from the register of societies. It does not itself describe a land transfer, land-use change, survey boundary or change of property ownership.
Who is affected
Notification Number 357/அ2/2018 directly affects the societies listed with their registration numbers, years, names and addresses. The schedule includes societies registered during 1986 and 1987 in places including Tiruvannamalai, Polur, Chengam, Chetpet and surrounding villages.
The listed bodies include:
- Youth welfare and recreation clubs.
- Women's associations.
- Educational, cultural and development societies.
- Workers' and traders' associations.
- School and community bodies.
- Religious and charitable organisations.
Members, office bearers and people dealing with a listed society may need to check whether that society provided an explanation and whether its name remained on the register.
Key provisions
Notification Number 357/அ2/2018 states that:
- The listed societies had failed to file required documents for more than three years.
- They were therefore treated as inactive under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
- The notice was published in the Tamil Nadu Gazette as part of the removal process.
- Each listed society had three months from the date of Gazette publication to provide an acceptable explanation.
- If no acceptable explanation was received within that period, the society's name would be removed from the register of societies.
Relevance to property matters
Notification Number 357/அ2/2018 concerns the registration status of societies rather than individual land records. A property buyer, owner or professional may find it relevant where a listed society claims to own, sell, lease, manage or otherwise act in relation to property. The source does not state the later status of any listed society or whether any explanation was submitted.

Common questions
Does the notification cancel the registration of every listed society immediately?
No. It gives the listed societies three months from Gazette publication to provide an acceptable explanation. Removal from the register would follow if no acceptable explanation was received.
Why were these societies identified as inactive?
The notification says documents required under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 had not been filed for more than three years.
Does the notification change ownership or land use?
No land transfer, land-use change, survey boundary or ownership change is stated. The notification concerns possible removal of societies from the register.
Does the Gazette say whether a particular society was ultimately removed?
No. The source only gives the warning and the three-month opportunity to provide an explanation.
