Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Tamil Nadu on the east coast does not receive much rainfall from the southwest monsoons. The area is dry with minimal rainfall from the northeast winds. The winter rainfall during October-December is due to the western disturbances resulting in the northeast monsoons causing some precipitation in Tamil Nadu. The monsoon winds withdrawing from the island groups of India are blocked by the Eastern Ghats to cause some rainfall. They do not cause much rainfall since their moisture content gets depleted, causing ample rain on the islands. The remaining moisture gets shed on the eastern coast.
The correct statement should be that the Tamil Nadu coast receives rainfall from the northeast winds.
