1975ம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44 (3)(பி)ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை
The Tamil Nadu Government, through the Heads of Departments notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Gazette, issued notification reference N.K. No. 3500/E1/2019 on November 20, 2019, concerning societies registered in Virudhunagar Registration District. It warns listed societies that failed to file annual returns for more than three consecutive years to file them properly within three months from Gazette publication, failing which action may be taken and their names removed from the register of societies. The notification concerns society registration compliance and does not describe any change to land ownership, title or land use.
What the notification covers
Notification reference N.K. No. 3500/E1/2019 was published by the Tamil Nadu Government in the Heads of Departments notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Gazette on November 20, 2019. The source does not identify a specific department by name.
The notification applies to societies registered in Virudhunagar Registration District under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It states that the listed societies had not filed the annual returns required to be submitted to the Registrar for more than three consecutive years.
What the listed societies must do
The notification gives the affected societies an opportunity to correct the filing failure.
- Each listed society must properly file its outstanding annual returns.
- Filing must be completed within three months from the date on which the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Gazette.
- If a society does not comply within that period, action may be taken under the Act.
- The stated consequence is removal of the society's name from the register of societies.
Who is affected
The published list covers organisations with different purposes and locations across Virudhunagar district. They include women's self-help groups, irrigation and watershed associations, traders' and workers' associations, community organisations, educational committees, charitable bodies, youth groups and welfare associations.
The supplied text contains complete entries numbered 1 to 63 and begins entry 64. Examples include the Virudhunagar Furniture Traders Association, the Virudhunagar District Electrical Workers and Plumbers Association, the District Water Shed Development Agency, Virudhunagar, and several watershed development beneficiary associations.
Members, office bearers and administrators of a named society should check the registration number and address in the Gazette list, because the warning is directed to the registered society rather than generally to all organisations in the district.
Relevance to property matters
Notification reference N.K. No. 3500/E1/2019 deals with annual returns and possible removal of society names from the register. It does not state that any land is acquired, reclassified or transferred, and it does not alter land ownership, title or permitted land use. A property buyer or owner may still find it relevant if a listed society is involved in a proposed transaction or claims to manage property, because its continued registration may depend on compliance with the filing notice.
