What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Government notification, reference ந.க.எண் 2812/ஆ 2/2016, was published on August 24, 2016 in the Part VI, Section 1 supplement of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette under Department Heads' Notifications. It applies to societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, that are listed in the notification.
The notification states that registered societies must submit annual returns for filing under section 16(3)(b). The listed societies had not submitted those returns for three consecutive years.
Consequence for the listed societies
The notification was issued under section 44(3) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. Its main provisions are:
- The names, registration details and addresses of the defaulting societies are published in the Gazette.
- Each listed society has three months from the date of Gazette publication to provide an appropriate explanation.
- If an appropriate explanation is not received within that period, the society's name will be removed from the societies register.
- The list covers societies with 2012 registration numbers and addresses mainly in Villupuram District, including village level federations, residents' groups, welfare associations, village forest councils and professional or trade associations.
Relevance to property matters
The Gazette list includes two associations connected with land, houses, plots or property agents:
- Registration number 10/2012, விழுப்புரம் மாவட்டம் தமிழ்தாய் நாடு வீடு, மனை, நிலம் முகவர்கள் நலச் சங்கம், at 48/12, Ayyanar Kulam South Street, Villupuram.

A buyer, owner or property professional dealing with either association should note that its continued presence on the societies register was at risk unless it provided an explanation within the stated period. The notification does not itself transfer land, change ownership, alter land classification or cancel an individual property document. Its stated effect concerns the registration status of the listed societies.
