Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, No. 21
The Registrar of Societies of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department published notification reference number 5609/E2/2013 and notification reference number 2733/E2/2011 in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated May 29, 2013. The first proposes removing two non-functioning associations unless they provide an adequate explanation within three months, while the second removes listed associations registered in 1983 because they had not filed annual returns for more than three years and did not respond to an earlier notice.
What the notifications do
The Registrar of Societies of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department published two notifications in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated May 29, 2013, under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
Notification reference number 5609/E2/2013 concerns two associations that had not filed required documents with the Registrar of Societies. They are:
- The Mambalam Sanmargha Samvardhini Sabha, registration number 15/1935, Siva Vishnu Temple, T. Nagar, Chennai 600 017.
- Navabharath Colony Owners Association, registration number 45/1985, M12/12, M.I.G. Flat, Navabharath Colony, Besant Nagar, Chennai 600 090.
The Registrar states that these associations appear not to be functioning. Their names will be removed from the register of societies if an adequate explanation is not received within three months from publication in the Gazette.
Associations removed from the register
Notification reference number 2733/E2/2011 concerns associations registered in 1983 that had not filed annual returns for more than three years from registration. An earlier notice was published in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette number 27, Part VI, Section 1, dated July 20, 2011, and the associations were informed, but no replies were received.
The Registrar therefore declares the listed bodies non-functioning and removes their names from the register. The names shown include residential, apartment and property-related bodies such as:
- Khaleel Shiragi Estate Owners Association.
- George Colony Plot/House Owners Association.
- Tenants Welfare Association, Anna Nagar West.
- Rohini Gardens M.I.G. Welfare Association.
- Parsons Towers Residents Service Society.
- Mona Apartment Owners Association.
- Thadikonda Apartment Association.
- Alwarpet Welfare Association.
A listed association may appeal to the Head of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department within one year under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
The Gazette notifications affect the registration status of the named associations. They may matter where an owner, buyer, tenant or professional expects one of these bodies to function as a registered residents, apartment, welfare or owners association.
The source does not state that any land title, flat ownership or property registration is cancelled or transferred. It only addresses removal of association names from the register of societies.
