Notification on Dissolution of Inactive Societies
The Tamil Nadu Government published this notification in the Department Heads' Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on August 15, 2012, under Letter No. 4092/Þ/2012. It lists societies identified as inactive for dissolution under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The supplied text does not identify a separate department or government order number.
What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette notification dated August 15, 2012, and carrying Letter No. 4092/Þ/2012, concerns the dissolution of inactive societies under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It appears in Part VI, Section 1, Supplement, under Department Heads' Notifications.
The notification provides a table containing:
- A serial number for each society.
- Its society registration number and year.
- Its registered name and address.
The supplied extract contains entries numbered 1 to 144. The visible registration years are mainly 1968 and 1969. The listed bodies include residents' welfare associations, recreation clubs, educational and cultural organisations, trade associations, charitable societies, employee groups and other registered associations.
Who may be affected
The notification directly affects the societies named in the list and people acting for or dealing with them. Examples in the supplied text include Nanganalur Civic Association, The Badaga Association Madras, Tamil Nadu Marine Products Exporters Association, Railway Staff Recreation Club and several residents' welfare and recreation organisations.
Members, office bearers, creditors and persons relying on a listed society's registration may need to check its legal status. The names and addresses should be matched carefully because some organisations have similar descriptions and many addresses use the former place name Madras.
Relevance to property transactions
The notification is about society registration and dissolution, not a general land classification, ownership or planning notification. It may still matter where a listed society claims to own, sell, lease, manage or otherwise deal with property.
A buyer or professional dealing with a named society should verify whether the society remained authorised to enter the proposed transaction. The supplied text does not explain what happens to a dissolved society's land, buildings, debts or other assets. It also does not provide procedures for objections, restoration, liquidation or transfer of property.
Key limitations of the supplied text
- No separate issuing department is identified beyond the Department Heads' Notifications heading.
- No government order number is printed.
- The available extract ends during entry 144, so it should not be treated as the complete list without consulting the full Gazette publication.

What should I check if I am buying property from a society named in the list?
Check the society's registration number, name, address and current legal status before relying on its authority to transact. The notification itself does not explain how dissolution affects property owned by a listed society.

Compare the society's name, registration number and year, and registered address with the table. The supplied extract includes registration details mainly from 1968 and 1969.
Is the supplied list complete?
The supplied extract should not be treated as complete because it ends during serial number 144. The full Tamil Nadu Government Gazette publication would be needed to confirm all entries.
