View Patta Chitta Online in Tamil Nadu

Search available Tamil Nadu revenue records by Patta number or by survey number and subdivision. Rural and Natham searches return Patta-Chitta details; supported urban searches return a Town Survey Land Register (TSLR) extract. No Proquiro signup or OTP is required.

What to look for

Patta / Chitta verification checklist

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 name match

Recorded-holder names on the extract match the latest sale deed and the chain of title.

Patta number

Patta number on the extract matches the seller-supplied patta document.

Survey + subdivision

Survey number and subdivision match the deed schedule exactly.

Old survey number

If a re-survey happened, the old survey number on the extract matches the deed.

Land classification

Wet / dry / natham / house-site classification matches the deed and FMB.

Extent (Hect-Ares-Sqm)

Extent matches the deed; gaps may indicate partition or government acquisition.

Government / Private

Review the recorded classification; Government or Poramboke entries need authority verification.

Digital signature date

Review the signature date because an older extract may not reflect a later revenue-record change.

Red flags

Common red flags in a Patta / Chitta extract

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.

Owner mismatch

Recorded-holder names differ from the latest registered sale deed. Investigate the mutation status and deed chain before relying on either record.

No Patta result

The search returns no Patta — do not infer the classification; confirm the survey details and check with the revenue office.

Land-type mismatch

Chitta land classification (wet / dry / natham) does not match the sale deed schedule — possible re-classification dispute.

Old survey number absent

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.

Extent mismatch

Chitta extent materially differs from the deed schedule — partition, sub-division, or acquisition was never registered.

Protocol for verification

1

Match the property against the title deed

Confirm survey number, subdivision, village/town, taluk, and district against the seller-supplied sale deed or patta document before pulling the extract.

2

Pick the right extract mode

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.

3

Fetch the extract from the government portal

Survey searches use the eServices Chitta or TSLR source. Rural and Natham Patta-number searches resolve a matching land row and then load the same structured Chitta data. Results depend on source availability and an exact identifier match.

Official Portal
4

Compare the recorded holder and land type with the deed

Compare recorded-holder names, relationship, land classification (wet/dry/natham/house-site), and extent with the sale deed and title chain. A matching revenue entry is not proof of legal title.

5

Cross-check with FMB sketch, EC, and Adangal

The chitta extract must be reconciled with the Field Measurement Book sketch, Encumbrance Certificate, and the field-level Adangal register before token advance.

Patta / Chitta vs supporting documents

The chitta extract is one essential check in a multi-step diligence — never the only one.

Use the record in context

What this record can—and cannot—answer

Patta and Chitta

Patta and Chitta are revenue records. They do not replace the registered deed chain, an Encumbrance Certificate, survey verification, or a legal title opinion.

Next action: Retrieve the current extract, preserve the official output, and reconcile names, survey identifiers, subdivision, classification, and extent against the deed chain.

TSLR extract

The TSLR extract is an urban revenue record. The separate TSLR sketch answers a boundary-diagram intent, and neither record alone establishes title or physical possession.

Next action: Use the Patta/Chitta tool for the TSLR extract and the FMB/TSLR sketch tool only when the task is to retrieve the boundary sketch.

Common Questions

Expert Help
FAQ

What is a Patta-Chitta extract?

Patta is a Revenue Department record showing the person in whose name the parcel is recorded for revenue purposes. Chitta is the rural revenue record showing land classification (wet/dry/natham) and tax details. Tamil Nadu presents these details together in the 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.

When do I need to pull the chitta extract?

Pull the extract before any token advance, before approaching a bank for a property loan, when the recorded revenue holder needs to be checked, or when there is any doubt about whether the Patta is in the seller’s name.

It can also help investigate a partition or mutation mismatch because it shows the available revenue entry. It does not establish historical or current legal ownership by itself.

What’s the difference between Rural, Natham, and Urban modes?

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.

Do I need a mobile OTP to use this?

No Proquiro account or OTP is required. Survey searches use the available eServices data source. Rural and Natham Patta-number searches first resolve a matching survey/subdivision and then use the same structured-data source.

Both search methods return the available Patta, owner, survey, subdivision, extent, tax, and signature fields in the same result template.

Why does the certificate show a QR barcode for urban only?

For an urban TSLR result, the available reference number can be used to generate a barcode that opens the corresponding eServices record.

For rural and Natham results, Proquiro does not display a barcode when the required source reference is unavailable. Use the displayed reference details and official eServices path for follow-up verification.

Is the chitta extract enough to confirm clear title?

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.
