Pull the official Patta-Chitta or Town Survey Land Register extract for any Tamil Nadu survey number. Rural, Natham, and Urban modes — free, instant, no signup.
The extract confirms who is taxed and how the land is classified — not who legally owns it. Reconcile every line on the extract against the sale deed and chain of title.
Owner names on the extract match the latest sale deed and the chain of title.
Patta number on the extract matches the seller-supplied patta document.
Survey number and subdivision match the deed schedule exactly.
If a re-survey happened, the old survey number on the extract matches the deed.
Wet / dry / natham / house-site classification matches the deed and FMB.
Extent matches the deed; gaps may indicate partition or government acquisition.
Land marked Ryotwari (private) is buyable. Poramboke / Government is not.
Signature date is recent enough; older signed records may have stale ownership.
If any of the patterns below show up on the extract, pause the deal and get a licensed advocate or revenue surveyor to reconcile before paying advance.
Owners on the chitta extract differ from the latest registered sale deed — title transfer may not be registered, ownership is contested.
Server returns "no patta" — the parcel is classified as Government / Poramboke and is not legally buyable.
Chitta land classification (wet / dry / natham) does not match the sale deed schedule — possible re-classification dispute.
No old survey number on the chitta but the deed references one — either a re-survey was never reconciled, or the deed is for a different parcel.
Chitta extent materially differs from the deed schedule — partition, sub-division, or acquisition was never registered.
Confirm survey number, subdivision, village/town, taluk, and district against the seller-supplied sale deed or patta document before pulling the extract.
Use Rural for agricultural land in revenue villages, Natham for house-site parcels with the same upstream as rural, and Urban TSLR for properties inside town or city limits.
For rural and natham parcels we pull from the eServices ser=chitta endpoint. For urban TSLR we use ser=tslr — both captcha-free and OTP-free for the data fetch.
Official PortalMatch owner names, relationship, land classification (wet/dry/natham/house-site), and extent against the sale deed and chain of title.
The chitta extract must be reconciled with the Field Measurement Book sketch, Encumbrance Certificate, and the field-level Adangal register before token advance.
The chitta extract is one essential check in a multi-step diligence — never the only one.
| Document | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Patta / Chitta extract | Revenue holder record — who is taxed for the land, land classification, extent, and a registration-order history. |
| A-Register (Adangal) | Village-level cropping and cultivation register maintained at the VAO office. |
| FMB / TSLR sketch | Survey-level boundary diagram — what the land looks like and where the boundaries sit. |
| Encumbrance Certificate (EC) | Registered transactions against the property at the SRO — separate, complementary check. |
| Sale Deed | The legal title document for the property — primary record of ownership transfer. |

Patta is the legal title document issued by the Revenue Department showing who is taxed for a piece of land. Chitta is the village-level revenue record showing land classification (wet/dry/natham) and tax. Since 2015 Tamil Nadu has merged the two into a single "Patta-Chitta" extract for rural and natham land.
For urban parcels inside municipal / corporation limits, the equivalent document is the Town Survey Land Register (TSLR) extract.
Pull the extract before any token advance, before approaching a bank for a property loan, when the owner of record needs to be verified, or when there is any doubt about whether the patta is in the seller’s name.
It is also useful for resolving partition disputes — the chitta reflects who pays revenue tax, which is one signal of who has been treated as the owner historically.
Rural covers agricultural land in revenue villages (wet/dry classification). Natham covers house-site (settlement) parcels inside revenue villages — same data source as rural, different `landtype` flag (N vs R).
Urban TSLR covers parcels inside town survey areas (municipalities, corporations) and requires ward + block codes in addition to the district / taluk / town cascade.
No. The data is pulled directly from the eservices.tn.gov.in JSON API which is captcha-free and OTP-free for the data fetch. The OTP flow on the government website is only required if you want the digitally-signed PDF certificate downloaded directly from them.
The certificate we render uses the same official data and is suitable for SRO-office manual verification.
The gov-issued verifiable barcode is generated from a reference number. For urban TSLR, the reference number is fully deterministic from cascade codes — so the barcode works end-to-end. Scanning the QR opens the official cert on eservices.tn.gov.in.
For rural and natham, the gov reference number includes a Tamil Nilam database primary key that is only exposed in OTP-rendered HTML. Rather than show a non-functional QR, we display the reference text and the eServices verification URL so SRO offices can verify manually.
No. The chitta extract confirms who is taxed and how the land is classified. Clear title still requires the sale deed, Encumbrance Certificate, FMB sketch verification, and an advocate title opinion.
Treat the chitta as one essential check in a multi-step due diligence — not a standalone proof of marketable title.
