Notification under Section 44(4) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (46 VI 1 T Sup)
The Tamil Nadu Government, through the Tamil Nadu Registration Department, issued Notification No. 2649/ஆ 2/2012 on 28 November 2012, declaring the listed societies inactive and removing their names from the register of societies. The notification allows an affected society to appeal to the Head of the Registration Department within one year.
What the notification does
Notification No. 2649/ஆ 2/2012, issued by the Tamil Nadu Government through the Tamil Nadu Registration Department on 28 November 2012, concerns societies registered in 2001. It declares the listed societies inactive and removes their names from the register maintained under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
The notification is about society registration status. It does not identify land, survey numbers, ownership records, planning areas or changes in land use.
Why the societies were removed
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department records the following process:
- Notices were sent asking whether the societies were functioning.
- Further action was taken under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
- An earlier notice was published in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 6, Part VI, Section 1, dated 13 February 2008.
- No reply was received from the societies.
- The societies were therefore declared inactive and their names were removed from the register.
Who is affected
The notification directly affects the 61 societies shown in the schedule. They include women’s groups, youth welfare associations, workers’ associations, trade and driver groups, recreation clubs, resident welfare bodies, self-help organisations and irrigation farmers’ associations in and around Villupuram, Tirukkovilur, Tindivanam, Vanur and Ulundurpet.
Examples include The Voice of New Hope, the Social Improvement Voluntary Association, Villupuram New Bus Stand Traders Welfare Association, Villupuram Rental Car Drivers and Owners Association, Lakshmi Recreation Club and several lake irrigation farmers’ development associations.

Appeal option
