Notification on Removal of Inactive Societies from the Register (49 VI 1 1t)
The Tamil Nadu Government, under the Tamil Nadu Gazette Heads of Departments Notifications, issued Notification No. 14198/E2/2010 on 15 December 2010, proposing to remove listed inactive societies from the register under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. A listed society had three months from gazette publication to provide a satisfactory explanation, failing which its name would be removed.
What the notification does
Notification No. 14198/E2/2010, published by the Tamil Nadu Government under the Tamil Nadu Gazette Heads of Departments Notifications on 15 December 2010, concerns societies believed to be inactive. The relevant office had previously written to the listed societies asking whether they were functioning, but received no reply.
The notification states that a listed society's name would be removed from the register if a satisfactory explanation was not received within three months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Gazette.
Societies covered
Notification No. 14198/E2/2010 lists eight societies registered in 1996, including:
- Youth Welfare Association, Avadi.
- Sridevi Karumari Amman Auto Drivers Association, Pammal.
- SRM Charitable Hospital & Research Centre, West Mambalam.
- Kasturibai Nagar Public Welfare Association, West Tambaram.
- Ramapuram Venkateswara Nagar Youth Association.
- Vishal Flat Owners Welfare Association, Thyagaraya Nagar.
- Thiruvalluvar Nagar Public Welfare Association, Tambaram Sanatorium.
- Rural Women's Development Association, Adhanur.
The gazette material also contains separate Registrar of Societies and District Registrar notices covering societies in places including Gingee, Tindivanam and Namakkal. One notice bears file No. 3377/A2/2010 and records that no responses were received to a letter dated 11 October 2010. Another, file No. 2557/E/2010, concerns societies treated as inactive because required reports had not been filed.
Key provisions
The Tamil Nadu Gazette notifications provide that:
- The proposed action is taken under section 44(2) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
- Some societies had not responded to enquiries made under section 44(1).
- Some societies had not filed reports and were treated as inactive under section 16(3)(b).
- A satisfactory explanation had to be received within three months from gazette publication.
- Without such an explanation, the society's name would be removed from the register.
Relevance to property matters
The Tamil Nadu Gazette notifications deal with society registration status, not with a stated transfer or change of land ownership. They may still matter where property, a flat owners association, a residents association or related dealings involve one of the named societies, because the society faced possible removal from the official register.
