Notification for Dissolution of Inactive Societies under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975
The Registrar of Societies, through the Department Heads' Notifications published by order in the Tamil Nadu Gazette on 28 August 2013, issued notification reference number 575/A2/2012 removing the listed inactive societies from the register and treating them as dissolved from the date of Gazette publication. Through notification number 9040/A2/2009 dated 21 July 2013, the Registrar of Societies also appointed Ve. Sadaiyappan Nair as liquidation officer for the Islamic Cultural Association, registration number 9/64.
What the Gazette notifications do
The Department Heads' Notifications in the Tamil Nadu Gazette apply the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 to societies identified as inactive. Notification reference number 575/A2/2012 records that an earlier notice dated 9 January 2013 did not produce explanations from the listed societies about whether they were functioning.
The Registrar of Societies therefore removed their names from the register. The listed societies are treated as dissolved from the date on which the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Gazette.
Societies covered by the removal
The schedule identifies societies by registration number, year, name and address. The supplied text includes societies in and around Gobichettipalayam, Sathyamangalam, Nambiyur, Bhavanisagar, Thalavadi and other places in Erode district.
The listed organisations include:
- Trade and workers' associations, including jewellery traders, load workers and photographers.
- Women's associations and self help groups.

A person dealing with any named society should match both its name and registration details against the schedule.
Liquidation appointment
Notification number 9040/A2/2009 concerns the Islamic Cultural Association, registration number 9/64. The text states that the association had been declared inactive, had not voluntarily dissolved within the specified period and had not appealed.

Relevance to property matters
The Gazette notifications do not set land prices, change land use or create planning requirements. Their direct effect is on the legal status of the named societies. The text does not explain how the dissolution or liquidation affects any land or other assets held by those societies.
