Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 30, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement

What the Gazette governs

The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 30, dated 1 August 2012, contains notifications under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The Tamil Nadu Registration Department identifies societies that have not submitted required records to the registrar for more than three years and gives notice of possible removal from the societies register.

Main notices

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notifications include these provisions:

• Notification reference number 352/E1/2012 states that ten Madurai area societies failed to submit records required under section 16 for three consecutive financial years. Their names are proposed to be removed from the register under section 44(3).
• Notification reference number 4777/E-1/2010 lists further Madurai area societies that had not filed returns required under section 16(3)(b) for more than three years.
• The societies covered by notification reference number 4777/E-1/2010 must provide a suitable reason for not filing within three months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. If they do not, their registrations will be removed from the societies register under section 44(2).
• M.P. Ilangovan, District Registrar (Administration), in the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Registration, Madurai North, dated the Madurai notification 29 March 2012.
• A separate list identifies inactive societies registered in Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur areas under section 44(2). The supplied text includes societies registered from 2002 onwards.

Who may be affected

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department lists educational, social welfare, resident welfare, irrigation farmer, watershed, land development, trade and professional associations. Property related entries include a house and house-site brokers welfare association, vacant plot and house owner resident associations, water user associations and groups connected with dry-land development.

Office-bearers and members of a listed society should check its registration number and filing position. Examples include registration number 139/89, the house and house-site brokers welfare association in Madurai, and registration number 71/2004, the Sri Venkateswara Nagar vacant plot and house owners resident welfare association in Kancheepuram.

Relevance to property owners

The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette notifications concern the registration status of societies. They do not announce any transfer of land, change of ownership, alteration of property boundaries or change of land use. A buyer or owner may still need to note the notice if a listed resident, irrigation, watershed or land development association is connected with the property or locality.
