View FMB Sketch Online in Tamil Nadu

Search Tamil Nadu land-record e-Services for a rural or Natham Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketch, or choose Urban for a Town Survey Land Record (TSLR) boundary sketch. Enter the parcel identifiers and download the returned PDF when the source record is available—free, with no Proquiro signup.

This is a parcel-sketch search, not a whole-village map. The public sketch is survey evidence; it is not ownership proof or an on-ground boundary certification. Proquiro adds cover and reference pages to the source PDF but does not issue or certify it.

What to look for

FMB verification checklist

Use the returned sketch to compare recorded parcel details. It does not confirm ownership or certify where the boundary lies on the ground.

Survey identifier

Confirm the survey number and subdivision used for the search against the deed and revenue extract.

Recorded geometry

Compare the shape and measurements shown; do not infer an exact ground boundary from the image alone.

Extent

Reconcile any extent shown with the deed and revenue record, noting units and rounding.

Adjoining references

Compare adjoining survey references or boundary labels only where the source sketch displays them.

Source and retrieval

Keep the source pages, selected inputs, retrieval date, and any reference shown in the result.

Recent subdivision

Check whether a recent subdivision, resurvey, or correction may not yet appear in the public lookup.

Site conditions

Have a qualified surveyor relate the record to markers, occupation, access, and adjoining parcels on the ground.

Record scope

Use Patta/Chitta or TSLR extract for revenue details and an EC search for registered instruments.

Red flags

Differences that need reconciliation

A mismatch is a prompt to investigate, not proof of encroachment or invalid title. Preserve the evidence and involve the appropriate survey or legal professional.

Patta mismatch

The sketch, Patta/Chitta or TSLR extract, and deed use different survey or subdivision identifiers. Resolve whether an old number, mutation, subdivision, or input error explains it.

Geometry or occupation conflict

The recorded shape, measurements, adjoining references, or occupied area do not reconcile. Commission a field comparison before drawing a boundary or title conclusion.

Sub-division gaps

A subdivision in the deed or revenue extract is absent from the returned sketch, or the sketch shows a different split. Check the update and survey history.

Extent mismatch

The extent derived from or stated on one record differs from another. Verify units, the selected subdivision, later changes, and the on-ground survey.

No public result

No result does not prove that the parcel is invalid or unsurveyed. Recheck the mode and identifiers, then use the source portal or responsible survey/revenue office.

Protocol for verification

1

Match the property against the patta or sale deed

Confirm survey number, subdivision, village/town, taluk, and district against the seller-supplied patta or latest sale deed before requesting the sketch.

2

Pick the right sketch mode

Use Rural FMB for villages, Natham FMB for house-site (natham) parcels with the same upstream as rural, and Urban TSLR Sketch for properties inside town or city limits.

3

Search the Tamil Nadu eServices record

The tool sends the selected location and parcel identifiers to the Tamil Nadu eServices source. A result depends on the source hierarchy, record availability, and exact survey or subdivision entered.

Official Portal
4

Compare the recorded sketch with the deed

Compare the survey and subdivision references, measurements, geometry, and adjoining references shown on the returned sketch with the sale-deed schedule. Record every difference instead of treating a visual match as proof.

5

Cross-check with the EC and revenue records

Reconcile the sketch with the applicable Patta/Chitta or TSLR extract, deed chain, registration search, and an on-ground survey when the boundary affects a transaction decision.

FMB vs supporting documents

Choose the record that answers the question. A parcel sketch, revenue extract, village map, and registration search are not interchangeable.

Document What it tells you
FMB / TSLR sketch Parcel-level recorded survey geometry and measurements where displayed; not ownership proof or a field boundary certification.
Patta / chitta Rural revenue extract for recorded holder and land fields exposed by the service; useful but not conclusive title proof.
TSLR extract Urban revenue record searched through the Patta/Chitta tool; it is different from the urban TSLR boundary sketch on this page.
Whole-village map A wider village-map or Bhu Naksha task. This tool searches a specified parcel sketch and does not return a complete village map.
View A-Register online Village revenue-register fields returned for a specified survey and subdivision; a separate record from the sketch.
Adangal / Field-level register Field-level cropping/land-use register maintained at the village office.
Encumbrance Certificate Registered transactions against the property at the SRO — separate document, complementary check.

Use the record in context

What this record can—and cannot—answer

FMB and TSLR sketch

A returned sketch is parcel-level survey evidence, not a whole-village map, ownership proof, or on-ground boundary certification. A qualified surveyor must relate the record, subdivision, measurements, and physical occupation.

Next action: Retrieve the correct rural, Natham, or urban sketch and reconcile it with the deed schedule, revenue extract, and field survey.

Common Questions

Expert Help
FAQ

What does FMB stand for, and what can its sketch show?

FMB stands for Field Measurement Book. A returned parcel sketch can show recorded survey geometry, subdivision, measurements, or adjoining survey references where those details appear in the source.

It is survey evidence tied to the identifiers searched. It does not by itself prove ownership, current occupation, or the exact boundary on the ground.

What information do I need to view FMB online?

For Rural FMB or Natham, select district, taluk, village, and enter the survey number; add the subdivision when known.

For an urban TSLR sketch, select district, taluk, town, ward, and block, then enter survey number and subdivision. Use the exact identifiers from a current deed or revenue record.

Can I download the FMB or TSLR sketch as a PDF?

Yes, when the source returns a supported sketch. The download contains the source sketch pages plus a Proquiro cover and reference page, and its signed link expires after 10 minutes.

Proquiro does not issue or certify the government record. Preserve the selected identifiers and source context with any file you rely on.

What is the difference between a TSLR extract and a TSLR sketch?

A TSLR extract is an urban revenue record. Use the Patta/Chitta tool when your task is to view that extract.

A TSLR sketch is the urban boundary-diagram record searched on this page using town, ward, block, survey, and subdivision inputs. Neither record alone proves title or possession.

Does this FMB tool provide a whole-village map or Bhu Naksha?

No. This search is for a parcel-level rural, Natham, or urban sketch tied to the selected survey identifiers.

A complete village map is a different record and product need. Do not infer village-wide coverage from a returned parcel sketch.

Why was no FMB or TSLR sketch found?

The mode, district, taluk, village or town, ward, block, survey number, or subdivision may not match the source hierarchy. The public source may also be unavailable or may not expose that sketch.

Recheck the identifiers against the deed or revenue extract, try the appropriate mode, then use Tamil Nadu eServices or the responsible office. A no-result response is not a legal conclusion about the parcel.

Is an FMB or TSLR sketch enough to confirm ownership or a boundary?

No. The sketch should be reconciled with the deed chain, Patta/Chitta or TSLR extract, registration search, possession, and other parcel-specific evidence.

Where a decision depends on the physical boundary, a qualified surveyor must relate the recorded sketch to current markers, measurements, occupation, and adjoining parcels. Obtain legal advice for title conclusions.
