1975-ம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச்சட்டம் பிரிவு 44 (4)-ன்கீழ் செயல்படாத சங்கங்களுக்கான அறிவிக்கை

What the notification does

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notification reference ந.க.எண் 4885/ஈ1/2013 records the removal of 58 societies from the register under section 44(4) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The list gives each society’s registration number, name and address.

The societies were treated as inactive because they had not filed the reports required under section 16(3)(b) for more than three years. The notification states that notices had been sent twice. A third notice was sent to all the listed societies under office reference ந.க.எண் 4154/ஈ1/2012 on 8 February 2013, but no filing was made for more than three months afterward.

Who is affected

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department list covers societies registered in 1999, with registration numbers ranging across 2/99 to 84/99. The 58 named organisations include:

• Village women’s development groups and youth welfare associations.
• Residents’ welfare and neighbourhood development associations.
• Lake irrigation, well irrigation and farmers’ associations.
• Lorry owner, lorry driver, auto driver and worker welfare associations.
• Consumer, weaving, tailoring, literary and charitable organisations.
• The Humanity and Human Resources Development Foundation, Kanchipuram District.

Many addresses are in Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Tiruttani, Pallipattu and Uthukottai areas.

Key provisions

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notification states that:

• Each listed society had failed to submit required reports for more than three years.
• Three rounds of notice were issued before removal from the register.
• The listed societies were declared inactive and their registrations were removed.
• A listed society may appeal to the Head of the Registration Department under section 44(5).
• The appeal must be made within one year from publication of the notification.

Relevance to property matters

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department notification may matter where land, irrigation facilities, residential areas or other property interests are represented by one of the named societies. A buyer, owner or professional dealing with a listed irrigation, residents’ or land pattadars’ association should note that the document records removal of that association’s society registration. The notification itself concerns society registration status and does not describe a sale, transfer or change in ownership of any property.
