What the notification does
Notification Na.Ka.No. 357/A2/2018, published by the Tamil Nadu Government through the Heads of Departments Notifications in the Tamil Nadu Gazette on September 12, 2018, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It treats the listed organisations as inactive and announces that their names have been removed from the societies register under section 44(4).
The stated reason is that documents required for filing under section 16(3)(b) had not been filed continuously for more than three years.
