What the notification does
Notification No. 4828/C1/2010, published by the Government of Tamil Nadu in the Department Heads' Notifications section on 14 August 2013, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It records that the listed societies had not responded to office letter No. 4828/E1/2010 dated 14 March 2012, which concerned whether they were functioning.
The notification gives the societies an opportunity to provide a proper explanation within three months from its publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. If no satisfactory explanation was received within that period, their names would be removed from the societies register.

Relevance to property owners and buyers
Notification No. 4828/C1/2010 does not change land ownership, land classification, planning permission or property registration. Its stated purpose is limited to possible removal of named societies from the societies register.
It may matter where a property owner, buyer or professional is dealing with one of the listed resident welfare, village development, irrigation or agricultural associations. The Gazette notification itself only records the proposed removal process. It does not confirm whether any society later submitted an explanation or whether its name was ultimately removed.
