1975 ஆம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)(பி)-ன்கீழ் செயல்படாத சங்கங்களை சங்கப்பதிவேட்டிலிருந்து நீக்குதல் பற்றிய அறிவிக்கை

What this notification is

This notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, on 2010 July 21. It gives notice that certain registered societies are treated as non functioning because reports relating to the societies had not been filed up to that date, and because reports had not been filed continuously for more than 3 years.

What it does

The notification says the listed societies may be removed from the register of societies under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.

Key points stated in the notification are:

• reports relating to these societies had not been filed up to the date of the notice
• the societies are therefore considered non functioning
• the listed societies are asked to show cause why they should not be dissolved
• if a proper explanation is not received within 3 months from the date of publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, their names will be removed from the register

Who it affects

This notification affects the societies named in the list attached to the notice. The names shown include labour welfare associations, irrigation farmers associations, youth welfare groups, residents welfare associations, drivers and owners welfare associations, traders associations, women welfare associations and other local bodies.

Examples from the list include:

• Cheppakkam Bengaluru Thozhilalar Nala Sangam, Cheppakkam Post, Veppur Sub Division
• Naidu Mahajana Sangam, 58/80, Kambar Street, Virudhachalam
• Alminar Academy, Ulundurpet, Ulundurpet 606 107
• Keezhnemmili Pasana Vivasayigal Sangam, Keezhnemmili, Kothattai Post, Tittakudi
• Virudhachala Nagar Telephone Consumers Sangam, 45 North Kottai Street, Virudhachalam
• Youth's Movement for Development, Nainarapalayam

Why this matters to the public

For most property buyers and owners, this notification does not change land ownership, patta, registration or planning permission. It is relevant only if you are connected with one of the named societies, for example as a member, office bearer or someone dealing with that society's records or status.

Practical takeaway

If a society named in the list wanted to avoid removal from the register, it had to send a proper explanation within 3 months from the date of Gazette publication. If no explanation was received within that period, the notification says the society's name would be removed from the register.
