1975 ஆம் ஆண்டு தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(2)-ன் கீழ் செயல்படாத சங்கங்களை பதிவேட்டிலிருந்து நீக்குதல் பற்றிய அறிவிக்கை
The Tamil Nadu Government issued notification reference Na.Ka.No. 2062/A2/2017 in the Heads of Departments Notifications supplement of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 18 August 2021. It proposes removing the listed associations from the register because they did not reply to an office letter dated 4 May 2017, unless they provide a suitable explanation within three months from Gazette publication.
What the notification does
Notification reference Na.Ka.No. 2062/A2/2017 concerns associations considered inactive under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The Tamil Nadu Government published it in Part VI, Section 1, Supplement, under Heads of Departments Notifications on 18 August 2021. The supplied text does not identify the department by name.
The issuing office had sent letter reference 2062/A2/2017, dated 4 May 2017, to determine whether the listed associations were functioning. According to the notification, none of them replied.
Proposed action
The notification is issued under section 44(2)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. Its main provisions are:
- The listed associations had not responded to the earlier inquiry made under section 44(1).
- Each listed association has three months from publication of the notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette to provide a suitable explanation.
- If no suitable explanation is received within that period, the association's name will be removed from the register of associations.
- The wording describes a proposed removal after the response period. It does not state that removal had already occurred on the publication date.
Who is affected
Notification reference Na.Ka.No. 2062/A2/2017 directly affects only the associations identified by registration number, year, name and address in the published list. The entries include village level federations, youth and women's welfare groups, farming associations, worker welfare associations, alumni and community organisations, and other associations. Most listed addresses are in Karur district, while one listed association has an address in Tiruchirappalli district.
Members, office bearers or representatives of a listed association should check the association's exact registration number and address, rather than relying only on a similar name.
Relevance to property matters
Notification reference Na.Ka.No. 2062/A2/2017 does not change land classification, ownership, planning permission, registration charges or property rights. Its relevance to a property buyer, owner or professional is limited to a transaction involving one of the listed associations, because the notification raises the possibility that the association may be removed from the register if it does not respond within the stated period.
