1975-ஆம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)(b)-ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை
The Tamil Nadu Government published Notification N.K. No. 4270/E2/2016 in the Department Heads' Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated November 30, 2016. It warns the listed societies that their names will be removed from the register of societies unless they provide a satisfactory explanation within three months from publication.
What the notification does
Notification N.K. No. 4270/E2/2016, published by the Tamil Nadu Government under the Department Heads' Notifications section on November 30, 2016, starts a process for removing named societies from the register of societies. It was issued under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
The notification does not state that the societies have already been removed. It gives them an opportunity to provide a satisfactory explanation within three months from the date of publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. If no satisfactory explanation is received within that period, their names will be removed from the register.
Who is covered
The published table identifies societies by serial number, registration number and year, name, and address. The supplied text includes societies registered in 1987 and located mainly in Chennai and surrounding areas.
The listed bodies include:
- Residents' welfare associations and neighbourhood welfare groups.
- Apartment and plot owners' associations.
- Religious, charitable, educational and cultural organisations.
- Recreation clubs, sports bodies and social service groups.
- Employee, teacher, worker and occupational associations.
Property related examples include Sri Amaravathi Apartments Association, Subramania Bharathi Nagar Plot Owners Association, Kumaran Kudiyiruppor Association, Mohan Avenue Residents Welfare Association and Vivekananda Plot Owners Association. A buyer, owner or association office bearer should check the registration number, name and address, because similar association names may exist.
Practical effect for property owners
Notification N.K. No. 4270/E2/2016 may matter where a residential, apartment or plot owners' association connected with a property appears in the table. Members and office bearers should verify whether their association is listed and whether a satisfactory explanation was submitted within the stated period.
The notification concerns registration status under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It does not state that ownership of any land, flat or plot is transferred, cancelled or otherwise changed. It also does not record the final outcome for any listed society after the three month explanation period.
