Ms. No. 74 dated 11 July 2019, changed the responsible Joint Registrar under the Tamil Nadu Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies Common Cadre Service Rules, 2019, while the Labour and Employment Department, through G.O.

What the Gazette contains
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 34, Part III, Section 1(a), dated 21 August 2019, contains amendments made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu to two sets of rules. One concerns the common cadre service of Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies, and the other concerns factories.
The Gazette does not contain provisions about land ownership, registration, planning permission or land use. Its direct relevance is to the administration of the specified co-operative societies and to matters governed by the Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, 1950.
Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies
G.O. Ms. No. 74, Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection (CN1), dated 11 July 2019, amends the Tamil Nadu Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies Common Cadre Service Rules, 2019.
Key provision:
- In rule 3, sub-rule (4), the words referring to the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Chennai, are replaced with a reference to the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies of the region concerned.
The amendment therefore assigns the role under that provision to the Joint Registrar for the relevant region rather than specifically to the Joint Registrar in Chennai. It affects administration under the common cadre service rules for Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies.
Tamil Nadu Factories Rules
G.O. Ms. No. 125, Labour and Employment (M2), dated 23 July 2019, amends the Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, 1950. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendments using powers under the Factories Act, 1948, after prior publication of the draft.
Key provisions:
- In rule 4, sub-rule (6-A), the period of ten consecutive calendar years is replaced by fifteen consecutive calendar years.
- In rule 7, in the second proviso to sub-rule (3), the same period is changed from ten consecutive calendar years to fifteen consecutive calendar years.
The Gazette does not reproduce the full text of rules 4 and 7. Readers who operate, manage or advise factories would need to read these amended periods together with the relevant provisions of the Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, 1950.
