The A-Register is the Tamil Nadu village land record maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) for every rural parcel. It contains the field survey number, sub-division, old survey number, land acreage, soil type, classification (Natham, agricultural, government), tax details, and owner name with remarks. The A-Register is the foundational document for rural property due diligence — patta transfers, mutations, and registrations all reference it.
A-Register Extracts are issued for every rural Tamil Nadu survey number and are accessible online via the TN eServices portal.

Procedure to retrieve a Tamil Nadu A-Register Extract via the TN eServices portal using district, taluk, village, and survey number.
Visit https://eservices.tn.gov.in/eservicesnew/index.html and choose the View Land Records flow.
Open portalOn the View Patta & FMB / Chitta / TSLR Extract page, look for the A-Register option. Some districts also expose A-Register access through the View Patta workflow.
Enter the administrative hierarchy and the target survey number with sub-division. The portal returns the corresponding A-Register page.
Verify owner name, soil type, land classification, sub-division, and adjacent survey numbers. Cross-reference with the Patta and FMB.
TN eServices does not always issue clean PDFs for A-Register; screenshotting the rendered page is acceptable for working notes.
These are the patterns that break deals if missed.
Pulling one A-Register at the VAO office takes hours. Verifying classification consistency across an active acquisition pipeline of 30+ leads, with rotating field-team requests, is days per week of admin work. Proquiro tracks A-Register classification, soil type, and sub-division mismatches at portfolio scale.
The A-Register is the village land register maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO).
It records the field survey number, sub-division, old survey number, area in acres, soil quality, classification, tax assessment, and the registered owner — the foundational rural land record from which Patta and other certificates are derived.
Patta is a single-property ownership certificate issued to the owner; A-Register is the village-level register from which all Pattas are drawn.
A-Register is the canonical underlying record — when a Patta is disputed, the A-Register is consulted to resolve the conflict.
TSLR (Town Survey Land Register) is the urban equivalent of the A-Register, maintained for properties within municipal limits.
A-Register applies to rural land; TSLR applies to urban land. Both record survey boundaries, classification, and ownership at the village or town level.
Banks use A-Register Extracts to confirm classification, soil type, and adjacency for loan-eligibility decisions — particularly for agricultural-land loans.
For non-agricultural loans, banks typically rely on Patta-Chitta + EC; A-Register is requested when classification is ambiguous or when title disputes exist.
