Notification under Section 44(4) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (38 VI 1 T Sup v4)
The Tamil Nadu Government published Notification Number 295/A2/2021 in the Department Heads' Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Gazette on 22 September 2021. It removes 62 listed societies from the register because no explanation was received about whether they were functioning, and treats them as dissolved from the date of Gazette publication.
What the notification does
Notification Number 295/A2/2021, published by the Tamil Nadu Government in the Department Heads' Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Gazette on 22 September 2021, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The supplied text does not identify a specific department or issuing officer.
The notification records that an earlier notice under the Act was sent to the listed societies. That notice, also numbered 295/A2/2021 and dated 23 March 2021, was published in Tamil Nadu Gazette Issue Number 18 on 5 May 2021.
Because no explanation was received from the societies about whether they were functioning, their names have been struck off the register. The notification states that they are treated as dissolved from the date of its publication in the Tamil Nadu Gazette.
