1975-ம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)-ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை (ந.க.எண் 714/அ5/2020)
The Tamil Nadu Government, through the Heads of Departments Notifications in the Tamil Nadu Gazette, published Notification N.K. No. 714/A5/2020 on July 1, 2020, identifying registered societies that had not filed documents continuously for three years. It starts action under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, and warns that listed societies which do not file the required documents within three months from Gazette publication will be removed under section 44(4).
What the notification does
Notification N.K. No. 714/A5/2020, published by the Tamil Nadu Government through the Heads of Departments Notifications on July 1, 2020, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It identifies societies that had failed to file documents continuously for three years and begins action under section 44(3).
The notification gives the listed societies three months from the date of its Gazette publication to file their documents properly. A society that does not comply within that period will be removed under section 44(4).
Who is affected
The notification directly affects the societies included in its table. The entries provide each society's serial number, registration number and year, name, and available address.
The list contains 75 entries, mainly connected with Thanjavur and surrounding places. It includes:
- Educational and social service societies.
- Women's and children's welfare organisations.
- Residents, traders and professional associations.
- Recreation and sports clubs.
- Cultural, health, rural development and consumer groups.
- Societies registered in years ranging from 1975 to 1992.
Examples include Muthamizh Educational Society, Thanjavur Sourashtra Educational Aid Association, Ponnagar Residents Association, Thanjai Traders Association and Thanjavur District Karate Association. A society should check both its name and registration number because similar organisational names may exist.
Relevance to property matters
Notification N.K. No. 714/A5/2020 is a societies registration compliance notice, not a land notification. It contains no provision changing land ownership, land classification, planning permission or land use.
A property buyer, owner or professional may still need to consider it when a listed society owns property, sells property, leases premises or participates in a transaction. The notification indicates that the society faced possible removal if it did not complete the required filings within the stated three month period. The text does not report whether any listed society later filed its documents or was ultimately removed.
Key points
- The reason for action is failure to file documents continuously for three years.
- The compliance period runs from the Gazette publication date.
- Failure to file within three months leads to removal under section 44(4).
- The notification itself does not confirm the final status of any listed society.
