1975-ஆம் வருட தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச்சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(2)-ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை (ந.க.எண். 971/4/2018)
The Tamil Nadu Government published Notification Reference Number 971/4/2018 on February 3, 2021, in the Department Heads’ Notifications section of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. It warns 61 listed associations that their names will be removed from the register of societies unless an appropriate explanation is received within three months from the date of Gazette publication.
What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Government’s Department Heads’ Notification, Reference Number 971/4/2018, published on February 3, 2021, concerns societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The issuing office had written to the listed associations on March 27, 2018, and April 24, 2018, asking whether they were functioning, but received no reply.
The notification gives the associations a further opportunity to provide an appropriate explanation. If no explanation is received within three months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, their names will be removed from the register of societies.
Who is affected
The notification applies to 61 associations identified by registration number, year, name and address. Their registration numbers range across entries from 54/2005 to 29/2006, with some numbers absent from the sequence.
The listed bodies include:
- Fishermen’s, seafood traders’ and fish workers’ associations.
- Irrigators’ associations connected with named rivers, canals and irrigation divisions.
- Agricultural, flower, vegetable, milk and oil palm producers’ associations.
- Youth, community development, social welfare and charitable organisations.
- Drivers’, vehicle owners’, teachers’, medical officers’ and taxpayers’ welfare associations.
- Recreation clubs, cultural bodies and religious service organisations.
The table provides the address recorded for each association, including locations in and around Mayiladuthurai, Sirkali, Tharangambadi, Kuthalam, Kudavasal and Thiruvidaimarudur.
Key points for buyers and owners
- The notification concerns the registration status of societies, not the registration or transfer of land.
- It does not identify survey numbers, property boundaries, land classifications or changes in land use.
- A property buyer or owner may need to note it only if a listed association claims an interest in a property or is involved in a proposed transaction.
- The notification states that removal is conditional. It does not say that the listed associations had already been removed when the Gazette was published.
- Any listed association wishing to avoid removal had to provide an appropriate explanation within the stated three month period.
