What the Gazette contains
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 42, Part III, Section 1(a), publishes two amendments made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu. One concerns expenditure by co-operative societies, and the other concerns fees for the privilege and licence to manufacture Mass Wine.
These notifications do not govern land ownership, land use, planning permission, registration or property transactions. A property buyer or owner is not directly affected merely because they are dealing with land in Tamil Nadu.
Co-operative society expenditure limits
The Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 141 dated 17 September 2009. Notification No. SRO A-36/2009 amends the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Rules, 1988, using the power conferred by Section 180 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983.
The amendment substitutes the first proviso to sub-rule (2) of rule 85. It provides that expenditure under clauses (a), (b) or (c) must not exceed:
- Rupees thirty thousand for a primary society.
- Rupees seventy five thousand for a central society.
- Rupees one lakh fifty thousand for an apex society.
The Gazette extract does not describe the subjects covered by clauses (a), (b) and (c). A co-operative society should therefore read rule 85 in full when deciding whether a particular expense falls within these limits.
Mass Wine manufacturing fees
The Home, Prohibition and Excise Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 51 dated 1 September 2009. Notification No. SRO A-37/2009 amends the Tamil Nadu Mass Wine Rules, 1984, using the power conferred by Section 54 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937.
The amendment substitutes part of sub-rule (2) of rule 4. The required treasury receipts must show payment of:
- An application fee of rupees one hundred.
- A fee of rupees ten thousand for the grant of the privilege of manufacturing Mass Wine.
- A licence fee of rupees fifty.
This amendment is relevant to persons applying for the privilege and licence to manufacture Mass Wine, not to ordinary property transactions.
