The Tamil Nadu Government published Notification No. 889/A3/2012 in the Heads of Departments notifications supplement to the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on January 23, 2013, under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It lists societies, with registration numbers and addresses, under headings describing societies as பதிவுறாத for the periods 1968 to 1978 and 1979 to 1986.
What the notification covers
Notification No. 889/A3/2012, published by the Tamil Nadu Government on January 23, 2013, provides lists of societies under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The lists appear in the Heads of Departments notifications supplement, Part VI, Section 1, of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
The Gazette describes the entries as details of பதிவுறாத societies. The supplied text does not explain that expression further or state the individual legal consequence for each society.
Information provided
Notification No. 889/A3/2012 gives the following information for each listed society:
- A serial number.
- The society's registration number and year.
- The society's name.
- Its address as printed in the Gazette.
One list covers registration years from 1968 to 1978. A further heading covers 1979 to 1986, although the supplied entries under that heading run from 1979 to 1981.
Societies and places covered
The society lists include clubs, trade associations, educational bodies, religious and charitable organisations, welfare groups and professional associations. Examples include The Kodaikanal Golf Club, Kodaikanal International School, The Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Lakshmi Seva Sangam Gandhigram and திண்டுக்கல் கட்டபொம்மன் நில வளர்ச்சி சங்கம்.
Many addresses are in Dindigul, Kodaikanal, Chinnalapatti, Batlagundu, Nilakkottai, Palani and Gandhigram. Some addresses identify Madurai District because that is how they were printed in the notification.
Relevance to property dealings
Notification No. 889/A3/2012 may matter where a buyer, owner or professional is dealing with property held, sold, leased or otherwise connected with a society named in the list. The society's name, registration number and printed address can be compared with the documents used in the transaction.
The supplied Gazette text does not identify any land parcel, survey number, ownership transfer, land use change or property boundary. It also does not state that merely listing a society changes title to any property. A matching society name should therefore be treated as a reason to check the society's identity and authority, not as proof of a change in land ownership.

Common questions
Does this Gazette notification change ownership of any land?

Compare the society's full name, registration number, registration year and address with the corresponding Gazette entry. These are the identifying details provided by Notification No. 889/A3/2012.

Yes. The supplied entries include திண்டுக்கல் கட்டபொம்மன் நில வளர்ச்சி சங்கம், registration number 21/1981, with an address at R.V. Nagar, Dindigul.
Does the notification explain the present status of every listed society?
No. The Gazette describes the entries as பதிவுறாத societies, but the supplied text does not explain that term further or give a separate present status for each society.
