What the notification does
Notification reference number ந.க. எண். 4270/ஈ2/2016 is a Tamil Nadu Government notice concerning registered societies. It gives the listed societies an opportunity to provide a satisfactory explanation before their names are removed from the register.
The notification does not state that removal had already occurred on 7 June 2017. Removal was conditional on a listed society failing to provide a satisfactory explanation within the specified period.
Who is affected
The Tamil Nadu Gazette notification lists 58 societies, with serial numbers 1 to 58. Their registration numbers run from 1/1991 to 59/1991, with 6/1991 not included in the list.
The organisations include:
- Residents and apartment owners associations.
- Public welfare, youth and women’s groups.

Deadline and consequence
The Tamil Nadu Gazette notification allows each listed society three months from the date on which the notification was published in the Gazette to submit a satisfactory explanation. If no satisfactory explanation is received within that period, the society’s name will be removed from the register of societies.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
The notification concerns the registration status of societies. It does not record a sale, transfer, acquisition, zoning change or change of land ownership. However, buyers or owners dealing with a listed residents association, apartment association or landowners association may need to check that organisation’s current registration status before relying on it to act or provide records.
