செயல்படாத சங்கங்களை சங்கப்பதிவேட்டிலிருந்து நீக்கம் செய்தல் பற்றிய அறிவிக்கை

What the notification does

The Tamil Nadu Government’s Department Heads’ Notification, Letter Number 4092/E/2012, published on 10 April 2019, starts a process for removing 55 societies from the societies register. It was issued under section 44(3) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1975).

The notification does not record immediate removal. It states that removal is proposed and gives the listed societies an opportunity to establish that they are active.

Why the societies were listed

The Department Heads’ Notification says the societies had failed to file the annual returns required at the District Registrar’s office under section 16(3)(b) for more than five continuous financial years. On that basis, they were treated as inactive societies for the proposed removal process.

Key provisions are:

• Each listed society may submit notices, records or other evidence confirming that it is functioning.
• The material must be submitted within three months from publication of the notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
• If a society fails to provide proof within that period, it will be treated as inactive.
• The inactive society’s name will then be removed from the societies register.

Who may be affected

The Department Heads’ Notification directly affects the 55 societies identified by registration number, year, name and address. The list includes residents’ welfare associations, flat owners’ associations, traders’ and workers’ associations, social welfare bodies, water users’ associations, sports and cultural bodies, and other local organisations in Chennai and Tiruvallur District.

Property related organisations on the list include VGN Platina Welfare Association, Federation of Registered Residents Association of Ambattur, Housing Board Colony Welfare Association, Heart Land Apartment Flat Owners Association, Royapuram Heart Land Apartment Owners Welfare Association, and several neighbourhood residents’ associations.

Relevance to property owners and buyers

The Department Heads’ Notification concerns the registration status of listed societies, including some apartment and residents’ welfare associations. A buyer, owner or professional dealing with a listed association may need to note that its continued presence in the societies register depended on providing evidence that it was functioning within the stated period. The notification itself does not describe any sale, transfer, title change or land use change.
