Tamil Nadu Gazette, Supplement to Part VI, Section 1, Number 39
The Government of Tamil Nadu published Tamil Nadu Gazette Number 39 on 30 September 2015 under Heads of Departments' Notifications. Through Notification Reference 782/A2/2012, Letter Number 1049/E1/2014 and Reference Number 6897/A2/2010, District Registrars and the Registrar of Societies notify proposed or completed removal of inactive societies from the register for failing to file required reports or provide explanations. The Gazette does not change land ownership, land use or property registration requirements.
What the Gazette governs
Tamil Nadu Gazette Number 39, published by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 30 September 2015, concerns registered societies under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It appears under Heads of Departments' Notifications, and the supplied text does not name a separate government department.
The notices deal mainly with societies that had not filed required reports for more than three financial years. Depending on the stage of the process, the responsible registration official either proposes removal, invites an explanation, or records that a society has been removed as inactive.
Main notices
- Notification Reference 782/A2/2012, dated 16 June 2015 and issued by the District Registrar (Administration), Tirunelveli, proposes dissolving Indian Human Rights Monitoring Association, Tirunelveli, registration number 75/2009. The society was given three months from publication to provide a proper explanation about its activities.
- Letter Number 1049/E1/2014 concerns Council for Community Development, registration number 60/89, at Elappakkam in Madurantakam Taluk. The Registrar of Societies and District Registrar at Chengalpattu recorded on 30 June 2015 that no explanation had been received more than five months after publication, and removed the society from the register as inactive.
- Reference Number 6897/A2/2010 covers listed societies within the Periyakulam registration jurisdiction. A notice dated 6 July 2015 states that societies failing to file annual reports and complete required name changes could be removed if they did not comply within one month.
- Another notice under Reference Number 6897/A2/2010 states that listed societies had not responded or filed annual reports more than two months after Tamil Nadu Gazette Number 20/2015, dated 20 May 2015. Their names were therefore removed from the register as inactive.
- The Gazette includes tables identifying affected societies by registration number, year, name and address, including organisations in Theni, Uthamapalayam, Cumbum, Chinnamanur, Periyakulam and surrounding areas.
Who is affected
Tamil Nadu Gazette Number 39 directly affects the named societies, their office bearers, members and persons dealing with them. A property buyer or owner is affected only if a listed society claims to own, sell, lease or manage relevant property. The Gazette itself does not transfer property or decide land title.

Common questions
Does this Gazette cancel or change my land title?
No land title is cancelled or changed by the notices. They concern the registration status of named societies.
Why were the societies treated as inactive?
The notices state that the societies had failed to file required reports for more than three financial years. Some also failed to provide an explanation after notice was published.
Were all listed societies immediately removed?
No. Some notices proposed removal and allowed one month or three months for compliance or explanation, while other notices recorded removal after no response or reports were received.
What should I check if I am buying property from a listed society?
The Gazette shows that some listed societies faced proposed or completed removal from the register. The source does not state how removal affects a society's property, so the society's current registration status and authority to deal with the property would need separate verification.
