Notification on Dissolution of Inactive Societies under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975
The Tamil Nadu Government published Notification No. 3007/ஈ2/2011 in the Heads of Departments supplement to the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 5 October 2011, proposing removal and dissolution of listed societies registered in the Central Chennai Registration District. The societies had not filed required statements for more than three financial years and were given three months from publication to provide a proper explanation about their functioning.
What the notification does
Notification No. 3007/ஈ2/2011, published by the Tamil Nadu Government in the Heads of Departments supplement to the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 5 October 2011, concerns societies registered in the Central Chennai Registration District. It records that the listed societies had failed to file statements with the Registrar for more than three financial years as required under section 16(3) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
The notice proposes action under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It is a final warning before removal from the register, rather than a statement that every listed society had already been dissolved on the publication date.
