Patta: Individual ownership document issued by Tahsildar showing survey no., extent, and owner. Chitta: Village-level register showing all lands in a village by owner. A-Register: Official taluk record of all agricultural lands. All three establish legal ownership.

🏠 When is Patta Transfer Required?

After sale / purchase of land · After the death of the owner (inheritance) · After partition among legal heirs · After court decree · After conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural land

✅ FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book)

FMB is a detailed land measurement map showing the boundaries, access roads, and dimensions of your plot. Required for construction permits, disputes, and subdivision. We obtain FMB sketches from the Survey Department.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patta is strong evidence of revenue ownership (for tax and government records) but is not a title document for courts. For absolute proof of title, you need the registered Sale Deed + Encumbrance Certificate. Both together establish clear ownership.

Yes. TNREGINET allows online applications for Patta transfer. However, the Revenue Inspector inspection is a physical step that requires your presence at the property. We assist with online filing and accompany you for the inspection.

An EC shows all registered transactions (sale, mortgage, lease) on a property for a specified period. It is essential before buying land (to confirm no pending loans or disputes) and when applying for home loans. We obtain ECs from the Sub-Registrar's office.

Name corrections in Patta require a written application with supporting documents (Aadhaar, Sale Deed, Affidavit). We file the correction application with the Taluk office and follow up until the updated Patta is issued.
