What the notification does

Notification Na.Ka.No. 918/E1/2021, published by the Tamil Nadu Government on 31 March 2021, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It records that the listed societies did not respond to office communications issued between 19 March 2019 and 27 November 2020 about whether they were functioning.

The notification gives the societies a final opportunity to provide a satisfactory explanation. If no satisfactory explanation is received within three months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Gazette, their names will be removed from the register of societies.

  • Auto drivers' welfare associations.
  • Trade, worker and small business welfare associations.

The stated action concerns the association's name in the register of societies. The notification does not state that it changes ownership of any property or alters any land record.
