1975-ஆம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)(b)-ன் கீழ் செயல்படாத சங்கங்கள் பற்றிய அறிவிக்கை
The Government of Tamil Nadu published notification reference N.K. No. 3330/E1/2015 in the Heads of Departments Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Gazette on 11 November 2015, giving listed societies a final opportunity to address their failure to file required reports for more than three years. A listed society faces removal from the register of societies if it does not give an acceptable reason for the failure within three months of the Gazette publication.
What the notification does
Notification reference N.K. No. 3330/E1/2015 concerns societies treated as inactive under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The listed societies had not filed reports required under section 16(3)(b) for more than three years.
The issuing office had already sent a notice under the same reference on 22 June 2015. After three months had passed without the reports being filed, the Government of Tamil Nadu published this final notice in the Tamil Nadu Gazette.
Who is affected
The Gazette list covers registered societies with names, addresses and registration numbers from 2011. The organisations include:
- Residents and house plot owners welfare associations.
- Village level federations connected with women’s self help groups.
- Watershed management and irrigation tank user associations.
- Village forest councils and farmers’ associations.
- Trader, auto driver, youth and public welfare associations.
- Temple renovation groups and school management organisations.
Examples relevant to land and housing include the Arichandrapuram Group House Plot Owners Welfare Association, registration number 16/2011, and the Annai Sandhiya Nagar Residents Welfare Association, registration number 12/2011. Several watershed management bodies in Tiruvallur district and village level federations in Kancheepuram district are also listed.
Key provisions
- Each listed society had failed to file the required reports for more than three years.
- A notice dated 22 June 2015 had been sent before the Gazette notification.
- The societies were treated as inactive under section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
- A listed society was given three months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Gazette to provide an acceptable reason for not filing the reports.
- If an acceptable reason was not provided within that period, the society’s registration would be removed from the register of societies.
Relevance to property matters
The notification deals with the registration status of societies. It does not state that ownership, title or other rights in any land are transferred or cancelled. A buyer, owner or professional dealing with a listed residents association, house plot owners association, watershed body or similar organisation should note that the organisation was facing removal from the societies register.
