1975-ம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கப் பதிவுச் சட்டம் 44(3)-ன்கீழ் செயல்படாத சங்கங்கள் கலைத்தல் பற்றிய அறிவிக்கை (எண். 15293/ஈ2/2010)

What the notification does

The Tamil Nadu Government, under the Department Heads’ Notifications, published Notification Number 15293/E2/2010 in the Tamil Nadu Gazette dated 19 October 2011. It proposes the dissolution of 56 societies registered in the Central Chennai Registration District because they had failed to file required reports with the Registrar for more than three financial years.

The proposal was published under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It is a warning and opportunity to respond, rather than a statement that every listed society had already been dissolved on the publication date.

Who is affected

Notification Number 15293/E2/2010 directly affects the societies identified by registration number, name and address in the attached list. All listed registration numbers are from 1991.

The list includes several organisations connected with residential property, including:

• Flat owners’ and apartment residents’ associations.
• Residents’ welfare associations.
• Housing Board and slum clearance housing residents’ associations.
• Street and neighbourhood welfare bodies.
• A house owners’ association.

Examples include the Sapthagiri Colony Flat Owners Welfare Association, Parklands Apartments Owners and Residents Association, Sindhu Apartments Welfare Association, J. A. Chinnasamy Nagar Plot Owners Welfare Association and Mandavelipakkam Rajkamal Apartment Flat Owners Association.

Property buyers, owners and residents should check the complete list if an association connected with their building, layout or neighbourhood was registered in the Central Chennai Registration District during 1991. The notification concerns the registered status of the societies. It does not state that ownership of any flat, plot or land is changed.

Key provisions

• The 56 societies had not submitted reports required by the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, for more than three financial years.
• The Tamil Nadu Government proposed removing their names from the register of societies and dissolving them.
• Each listed society was allowed three months from the date of publication to provide a valid explanation concerning its functioning.
• If no proper explanation was provided within that period, the society’s name would be removed from the register and the society would be dissolved.
• The schedule identifies each affected society by its registration number and year, name and recorded address.
