Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, No. 10 (10 VI 1 T Sup v4)
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notifications, proceedings reference numbers 2653/அ2/2015 and 5701/ஆ2/2015, were published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 9 March 2016 by the District Registrar authorities at Karaikudi and Salem East. They warn one Karaikudi society about possible removal for failing to file required returns and confirm the removal of 96 Salem East societies from the register for prolonged non-filing.
What the notifications cover
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notifications concern societies that failed to file annual returns required under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. They do not change land ownership, land use, planning permission or property registration requirements.
The Gazette contains two separate proceedings:
- Proceedings reference number 2653/அ2/2015, signed by the District Registrar (Administration), in charge, at Karaikudi on 17 December 2015.
- Proceedings reference number 5701/ஆ2/2015, signed by the Registrar of Societies, Salem East, and District Registrar (Administration) on 21 December 2015.
Warning concerning the Karaikudi society
Proceedings reference number 2653/அ2/2015 identifies Mathur Nagarathar Society, Karaikudi, registration number 3/1975. Its last recorded filing date is 24 December 2009.
The notification says the society had not filed the required returns for more than three consecutive financial years. It gives the society three months from publication of the notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette to file the returns or provide a satisfactory reason for not doing so. If it fails to act, its name may be removed from the register of societies.
Removal of Salem East societies
Proceedings reference number 5701/ஆ2/2015 concerns 96 societies registered during 2007 within the Salem East registration district. The list includes patient welfare societies, village forest councils, community welfare associations, irrigation user groups, trade groups and other local organisations.
Key points are:
- The listed societies had not filed annual returns for three years or longer.
- An earlier notice was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 3 July 2013.
- No objections to dissolution, satisfactory reasons or supporting evidence were received within three months of that notice.
- The societies were therefore removed from the register of societies.
- An appeal may be made to the head of the Registration Department at Chennai 28 within one year from publication of the removal notification.
Who may be affected
Members, office bearers, creditors and people dealing with a named society should verify its registration position. Property buyers are affected only if a listed society claims to own, sell, lease or otherwise deal with property involved in their transaction.
