कम्प्यूटरीकृत Tamil Nadu रिकॉर्ड खोजने के मुख्य तरीके (Four Official Search Modes)
Commissioner of Survey and Settlement & Revenue Administration, Tamil Nadu के आधिकारिक पोर्टल पर डिजिटल Patta & Chitta / A-Register और कैडस्ट्रल FMB देखने के 4 मुख्य विकल्प उपलब्ध हैं। अपनी सुविधा के अनुसार किसी भी एक विकल्प का चयन करें:
Survey Number & Sub-Division Number द्वारा खोजें
सर्वोत्तम विकल्प: यदि आपके पास पंजीकृत बैनामा (Sale Deed) या ऋण पुस्तिका है, तो उसमें दर्ज Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (उदा. 104, 104/1, 256/2) दर्ज करें।
- प्लॉट की सटीक चौहद्दी और क्षेत्रफल तुरंत दिखाता है।
- विवादित या बंधक स्थिति की जांच के लिए सबसे सटीक तरीका।
Patta Number संख्या द्वारा खोजें
संयुक्त जोत जांच: Patta Number डालने पर उस खाते में दर्ज सभी सह-खातेदारों के नाम और कुल भूमि रकबा एक ही पेज पर खुल जाता है।
- परिवार के सभी हिस्सेदारों के कुल खसरे एक साथ देखें।
- खाते पर कोई बैंक ऋण या कोर्ट स्टे है तो टिप्पणी कॉलम में प्रदर्शित होता है।
खातेदार / रैयत के नाम द्वारा खोजें
यदि गाटा/खाता संख्या नहीं मालूम: किसान या भू-स्वामी के नाम के पहले 2-3 अक्षर पोर्टल के ऑन-स्क्रीन कीबोर्ड से टाइप करें।
- नाम के साथ पिता या पति का नाम मिलाकर सही खाते का चयन करें।
- स्पेलिंग अंतर होने पर हमेशा Survey Number & Sub-Division Number से खोज का उपयोग करें।
Online Patta Transfer / केस संख्या द्वारा
हालिया रजिस्ट्री या विरासत: बैनामा कराने के बाद नाम दर्ज हुआ या नहीं, यह जानने के लिए दाखिल-खारिज आवेदन संख्या या आदेश दिनांक से खोजें।
- तहसीलदार/नायब तहसीलदार न्यायालय का नामांतरण आदेश डाउनलोड करें।
- दाखिल-खारिज आदेश पारित होते ही कम्प्यूटरीकृत रिकॉर्ड में नाम अपडेट हो जाता है।
अपनी जमीन का प्रकार चुनें (Select Property Type in Tamil Nadu)
Tamil Nadu में विभिन्न प्रकार की संपत्तियों का रिकॉर्ड अलग-अलग सरकारी पोर्टल्स और राजस्व शाखाओं में सुरक्षित होता है। अपनी जरूरत के अनुसार सही श्रेणी का चयन करें:
1. कृषि भूमि (Agricultural Land)
ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों की खेती योग्य भूमि, बाग, चरागाह और सिंचित/असिंचित जोत।
2. ग्रामीण आबादी एवं घर (Rural Abadi)
गांव के लाल डोरा / आबादी क्षेत्र में बने पैतृक मकान और रिहायशी बाउंड्री।
3. शहरी एवं नगर पालिका क्षेत्र (Urban Property)
नगर निगम, नगर पालिका या विकास प्राधिकरण (DA) सीमा के अंतर्गत आने वाली संपत्तियां।
4. आवासीय प्लॉट एवं फ्लैट्स (Deed Registry)

जमीन का रिकॉर्ड खोजने से पहले आवश्यक जानकारी (Details Required Before Searching Land Records)
Keep these details ready before searching on Tamil Nilam (TN Revenue E-Services):
- Location path: Select your District → Taluk → Revenue Village (Rural) / Town Ward & Block (Urban) from the dropdown menus.
- Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns): Locates your parcel on the village map and shows boundary dimensions.

- Landowner name: Use this search option if you do not know the plot or account number.
What to do if your Tamil Nadu land record is not found online
While the majority of revenue villages in Tamil Nadu are digitized under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), certain records may not appear in the online search. This typically happens in rural consolidation (chakkbandi) areas, newly bifurcated tehsils, parcels under ongoing consolidation court proceedings, or forest fringe zones.
Visit your jurisdictional Tehsil, Taluk, or Anchal revenue counter with your village name, Khasra or Khatauni reference, and owner name.
Submit an application for a certified copy of the Patta / Chitta or FMB sketch from the Taluk Office or e-Sevai Centre. Fees are payable as per the notified Tamil Nadu e-District fee schedule with an official government receipt.
If your village map sheet does not show parcel lines, submit a demarcation request (*Paimaish* / *Mojani*) through the Revenue Inspector or government surveyor (*Amin* / *Patwari*).
Village-level Common Service Centers (CSC) can verify if your record was recently locked during annual Jamabandi revision or pending mutation entry.
खेत / प्लॉट का भू-नक्शा (शजरा मैप) ऑनलाइन कैसे देखें और डाउनलोड करें? (How to View & Download Plot Map)

eservices.tn.gov.in. भू-नक्शे पर खेत की सीमाएं, रास्ता और सरकारी संकेत कैसे समझें? (Understanding Plot Boundaries & Map Symbols)
Official village cadastral sheets (FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch) use standardized cartographic symbols. Use this decoder to identify access roads, canals, and plot boundaries:
When reviewing plot numbers on the FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch, note the distinction between sub-divided and undivided parcels:
• Bata Khasra (e.g. 142/1, 142/2): Indicates an officially surveyed sub-division with defined boundary lines plotted on the cadastral map.
• Minjumla Khasra (e.g. 142 Min): Indicates an undivided co-share where the owner's legal fraction is recorded in the ledger, but specific boundary lines have not yet been demarcated on the physical map sheet.
If you are purchasing a Minjumla parcel, insist on an official boundary demarcation (Haddbandi / Seemankan under Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983 (TN Act 4 of 1986) & Tamil Nadu Land Reforms Act, 1961) before signing the final sale deed to ensure undisputed physical possession.
ऑनलाइन खसरा-खतौनी (जमीन का रिकॉर्ड) निकालने की पूरी प्रक्रिया (How to Check Land Ownership Record Online)
The Patta & Chitta / A-Register confirms ownership, share extent, and bank mortgage remarks. Follow these steps:
- Open TN Revenue E-Services (Tamil Nilam) (eservices.tn.gov.in) in your web browser.
- Select the option to view Patta & Chitta / A-Register on the home screen.
- Choose your District → Taluk → Revenue Village (Rural) / Town Ward & Block (Urban) and the current revenue year.
- Select your search method (Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns), Patta Number, or Owner Name), enter the value, and submit the captcha code.
- Check each co-owner's share, total land area, and the remarks column, then print or save the PDF copy.
If you do not have your Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns) or Patta Number, follow these simple steps:
1. Select your District → Taluk → Revenue Village (Rural) / Town Ward & Block (Urban) as usual.
2. Click the search tab labeled खातेदार के नाम द्वारा खोजें (Search by Landholder Name).
3. Type the first 1 to 2 letters of the recorded owner name using the on-screen phonetic keyboard.
4. Select the matching name from the citizen list to reveal all registered Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns) numbers, total landholding area, and co-sharer details.
खतौनी / जमाबंदी में इन जरूरी जानकारियों की जांच अवश्य करें (Key Details to Verify on Your Land Record)
Official revenue extracts on Tamil Nilam (TN Revenue E-Services) use five standard columns. Use this table to verify each section before buying land or applying for a loan:
| Document Column | Meaning in Tamil Nadu | Buyer Verification Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Patta Number | Unique ledger number assigned to a landowner or joint family holding in the village. | Match the seller's name and parent or spouse name with their Aadhaar card and sale deed. |
| 2. Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns) | Unique parcel number on the village cadastral map (FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch). | Confirm that the plot number on the Patta & Chitta / A-Register matches the parcel on the FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch. |
| 3. Land Area and Share | Total parcel area and each co-owner's fractional share. | Verify that the sale area stays within the seller's recorded share using the Area Unit Calculator. |
| 4. Land Classification | Category of land: Nanja (Wet Land), Punja (Dry Land), Natham (Village Habitation/Residential Site), and Poramboke (Government/Waterbody Land).. | Confirm that the parcel belongs to a private transferable land category. |
| 5. Remarks and Mutation | Lists Online Patta Transfer orders, crop loans (KCC), bank mortgages, and court orders. | Confirm that the remarks column shows a clear title for the parcel. |
Before paying any advance for land in Tamil Nadu, carefully inspect the Remarks Column (विवरण / अन्य विवरण). Look for entries stating "बंधक" (Mortgage), bank loan liens, or court stay orders (न्यायालय स्थगनादेश). If an outstanding registered mortgage or bank lien is recorded, a Bank No-Objection Certificate (NOC) alone is insufficient to clear title. A formal Deed of Reconveyance or Release of Mortgage must be executed by the lending institution and registered at the competent Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) under the Registration Act, 1908. Following registration, an application must be filed before the local revenue office (such as the Tehsil, Taluk Office, or BL&LRO) with the registered release deed to formally discharge the bank's charge or lien entry from the Record of Rights.
While the Patta and Chitta / A-Register serve as official fiscal revenue records, the Adangal (Village Crop and Cultivation Register maintained by the Village Administrative Officer) reflects actual seasonal cultivation and ground possession. The Supreme Court has ruled that revenue entries and mutation do not confer or extinguish legal title (Bhimabai Mahadeo Kambekar v. Arthur Import & Export Co. (2019) 3 SCC 191). Buyers must examine registered sale deeds, obtain a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate from TNREGINET, and conduct an on-site physical inspection.
भू-आधार (ULPIN): 14-अंकीय विशिष्ट भू-खंड पहचान संख्या (14-Digit Land Parcel Identifier)
Under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), revenue authorities in Tamil Nadu (தமிழ்நாடு) are linking agricultural and non-agricultural plots with Bhu-Aadhaar (also known as ULPIN: Unique Land Parcel Identification Number).
Just as a 12-digit Aadhaar uniquely identifies an Indian citizen, a 14-character alphanumeric Bhu-Aadhaar uniquely identifies a specific piece of geographic land on earth. It is generated from the exact GPS latitude and longitude of the plot corners based on international ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) standards.
| ULPIN Code Segment | Standard Administrative Level | Role in Land Registry & Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Characters 1 and 2 | State Census Code (33) | Specifies the state jurisdiction (Tamil Nadu prefix: 33). |
| Characters 3 and 4 | District Census Code | Identifies the revenue district authority. |
| Characters 5, 6, and 7 | Sub-District / Tehsil Code | Identifies the local Tehsil, Taluka, or Anchal office. |
| Characters 8, 9, and 10 | Revenue Village / Mauza Code | Locates the village survey map where the Survey Number & Sub-Division Number is situated. |
| Characters 11 to 14 | GIS Centroid Coordinate Hash | Unique spatial coordinates calculated from the parcel boundary polygon. |
Type or paste your 14-character Bhu-Aadhaar code from your computer-generated Patta & Chitta / A-Register to verify its structure:
Provides a single 14-character alphanumeric reference standard based on parcel boundary vertices coordinates under the ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model.
Serves as a common identifier across revenue, survey, and registration departments to reduce cadastral ambiguity in participating states.
Enables linking of textual Record of Rights (RoR) data directly with computerized GIS village maps (Bhu Naksha) where surveys are finalized.
Printed in the header of computerized land records and visible on the official state cadastral map portal for surveyed villages.

जमीन खरीदने से पहले जरूरी कानूनी जांच एवं विवाद निवारण प्रक्रिया (Property Buyer Verification & Dispute Appeals)
Land administration and records of rights in Tamil Nadu (தமிழ்நாடு) follow the Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983 (TN Act 4 of 1986) & Tamil Nadu Land Reforms Act, 1961. Before buying land or settling a boundary dispute, complete these seven due diligence checks:
Seven property checks before buying land in Tamil Nadu
| Due Diligence Step | What to Verify on Tamil Nilam (TN Revenue E-Services) | Critical Legal Risk / Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Title & Fractional Share Match | Cross-verify the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and exact fraction in the Patta & Chitta / A register against the Sub-Registrar registered deed. | Red Flag: Discrepancy between the registered Sale Deed and the live computerized Patta & Chitta / A-Register. Never purchase property based solely on an unverified power of attorney (GPA). |
| 2. Electronic Evidence Admissibility (Section 63 BSA 2023) | Download a Digitally Signed QR Copy from Tamil Nilam (TN Revenue E-Services) or obtain a certified copy from the respective Tehsil / Revenue office. | Red Flag: Uncertified portal printouts serve for informational reference only. For judicial proceedings, bank mortgages, or statutory registrations, obtain an officially certified extract or digitally signed copy bearing QR validation as governed by Sections 63 and 74-76 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. |
| 3. Encumbrance & Bank Liens | Inspect Remarks Column 7/8/9 of the Patta & Chitta / A-Register and verify 12 to 30 year Encumbrance Certificates (EC) on the state registration portal. | Red Flag: Undisclosed Kisan Credit Card (KCC) agricultural loans, cooperative bank hypothecations, or commercial bank mortgage charges. |
| 4. Pending Litigation & Stay Orders | Check if the Survey Number & Sub-Division Number (or TSLR Ward/Block in Towns) has pending succession (Varasat) disputes, partition suits, or revenue court injunction orders. | Red Flag: Buying land subject to pending litigation under Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983 (TN Act 4 of 1986) & Tamil Nadu Land Reforms Act, 1961. Transfer during litigation is subject to Section 52 Transfer of Property Act (Lis Pendens). |
| 5. Restricted & Non-Alienable Land | Verify the land class code (e.g. Government Vested, Ceiling Surplus, Gram Sabha, Bhoodan, Waqf, or SC/ST Tribal Protective Tenancy). | Red Flag: Sale of assigned, tribal, or ceiling surplus land without prior statutory permission from the District Collector is null and void ab initio. |
| 6.

दाखिल-खारिज (नामांतरण) केस की स्थिति ऑनलाइन कैसे चेक करें? (Check Mutation Status Online)
After executing a registered sale deed, gift deed, or succession filing in Tamil Nadu (தமிழ்நாடு), completing Online Patta Transfer is mandatory to substitute the seller or deceased owner's name with your name in the official Patta & Chitta / A-Register. Follow this tracking guide on TN Revenue E-Services (Tamil Nilam):
1. By Revenue Court Case Number (वाद संख्या): Enter the official computerized case number generated during application filing.
2. By Registered Deed Number (दस्तावेज संख्या): Enter the Sub-Registrar deed number, volume, and registration year from your sale deed.
3. By Applicant or Party Name: Search by buyer name or seller name with father/husband name in Devanagari or English.
4. By Survey Number & Sub-Division Number / Mauza: Select your District → Taluk → Revenue Village (Rural) / Town Ward & Block (Urban) and enter your plot number to see all pending or disposed mutation cases.
Statutory Patta Transfer approval stages in Tamil Nadu
| Mutation Stage | Statutory Procedure & Officer Action | What Citizen Must Verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Online Patta Transfer Application | Application filed via Tamil Nilam portal (eservices.tn.gov.in) or generated through STAR 2.0 registration, issuing a CAN / Application Number. | Keep the computerized Application Number for tracking on the e-Services portal. |
| 2. Statutory Inquiry Notice | Notice issued by the Taluk office inviting claims or objections from recorded pattadhars under the Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983. | Track application status online to confirm whether the transfer is classified as Full Field (no sub-division) or Involving Sub-Division. |
| 3. VAO & Field Surveyor Inspection | The Village Administrative Officer (VAO) verifies ownership lineage, and for subdivided plots, the Field Surveyor measures boundaries and prepares the FMB sketch. | Cooperate with the field survey and confirm that the proposed sub-division matches deed dimensions. |
| 4. Zonal Deputy Tahsildar Sanction | The Zonal Deputy Tahsildar reviews the survey report and issues the statutory Patta Transfer Order under Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983. | Download the digitally signed Patta Transfer Order sheet from the portal. |
| 5. Tamil Nilam Chitta / Patta Database Update | The computerized Tamil Nilam database updates the Patta register, assigning a new or joint Patta Number. | Download an official e-Patta / Chitta extract from eservices.tn.gov.in bearing the government cryptographic QR code. |
If a co-sharer or third party files an objection during the notice period, the case converts from an undisputed summary proceeding into a regular contested revenue lawsuit (विवादित वाद). Both parties are summoned with notices. As the buyer, you must present the certified copy of your registered sale deed, proof of physical possession (Chauhaddi), and modern computerized Patta & Chitta / A-Register extracts. Under Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act, 1983 (TN Act 4 of 1986) & Tamil Nadu Land Reforms Act, 1961, summary revenue proceedings cannot determine complex civil title questions, which belong exclusively to the Civil Court.
If your registered property deed dates back several decades, the plot number recorded on the deed may refer to older Cadastral Survey (CS), Revisional Survey (RS), or pre-consolidation (Chakbandi) settlement registers. To find your modern Survey Number & Sub-Division Number:
1. Check the Chauhaddi (चारदीवारी / Four Boundaries) on your registered deed to identify fixed physical benchmarks (neighboring roads, canals, or ancestral plots).
2. Open the village cadastral map (FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch) on Tamil Nilam (TN Revenue E-Services) and visually locate the plot shape using neighboring benchmark numbers.
3. If the survey numbers changed during re-settlement, request a Comparative Table (मिलान तालिका / Charkatta) from the District Collectorate Record Room (मुहाफ़िज़खाना) to bridge old survey numbers with current computerized records.
Troubleshooting search and portal errors in Tamil Nadu
If the government portal returns blank results or an error, check these database entry rules:
Record not found after recent registration
A recently registered transaction may not appear in the online Record of Rights until the mutation process has been completed and the record updated. Processing and update times vary by state, service category, and case circumstances. Use the official application-status facility or contact the competent revenue office for the status of your case.
Suffix Split Format
Southern state portals separate base survey numbers from sub-division codes. Enter base number 124 in the main field and sub-division 2A in the Hissa or sub-division box to avoid search timeouts.
Name search returns zero results
State revenue databases store owner names in the regional script. Searching in English letters returns blank results. Enter the name using the script tool below or search by plot number.
Map shows a blank white page
Cadastral map engines open plot reports in a separate window. Allow pop-ups in your browser settings for https://tnreginet.gov.in.
Document check: Remarks and encumbrance verification
Inspect the liabilities and remarks column of the Patta & Chitta / A-Register. Unresolved bank charges, ceiling reservations, or court disputes recorded here must be cleared before completing a purchase.

Land classifications and transfer rules in Tamil Nadu
Before paying an advance or registering a Sale Deed in Tamil Nadu (தமிழ்நாடு), check the land classification code on the Patta & Chitta / A-Register against this legal verification table:
| Verification Check | Official Tamil Nadu Revenue Code & Legal Meaning | What a Buyer or Owner Must Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Safe Transferable Land Class | Ryotwari Patta (रयतवारी பட்டா: Punjai/Nanjai/Natham Private Patta Matching A-Register & EC) | Confirm that the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and fractional share match both the Patta & Chitta / A-Register and the Sub-Registrar EC. |

உள்ளூர் நிர்வாக மற்றும் நில வருவாய் நடைமுறைகள் (Local Administrative & District Nuances - Verified October 2026)
தமிழ்நாட்டில் நில ஆவணங்கள் மற்றும் பட்டா சிட்டா சரிபார்ப்பின் போது கருத்தில் கொள்ள வேண்டிய முக்கிய சட்ட மற்றும் நிர்வாக நடைமுறைகள்:
1. அ-பதிவேடு (A-Register) மற்றும் பட்டா/சிட்டா வேறுபாடு (A-Register vs Patta/Chitta)
தமிழ் நிலம் போர்ட்டலில் 'அ-பதிவேடு' (Settlement A-Register) என்பது கிராமத்தின் முழுமையான நில வகைப்பாடு, மண் தரம், வரி மதிப்பீடு, மற்றும் மூலப் பட்டாதாரர் விபரங்களைக் காட்டும் நிலையான பதிவேடாகும். 'பட்டா' (Patta) என்பது தற்போதைய நில உரிமையாளரின் பெயரில் உள்ள நடப்பு உரிமைப் பதிவாகும். நிலம் வாங்குவதற்கு முன் நில வகைப்பாடு புன்செய் (Dry land), நன்செய் (Wet land) அல்லது அரசு புறம்போக்கு (Poramboke) என்பதை அ-பதிவேடு மூலம் சரிபார்ப்பது கட்டாயமாகும்.
2. FMB வரைபடம் மற்றும் மூலைவிட்ட அளவீடுகள் (FMB Sketch Field Verification)
புல வரைபடம் (Field Measurement Book - FMB) சர்வே எண்ணின் சரியான எல்லைகள் மற்றும் உட்பிரிவு வரைபடத்தைக் காட்டுகிறது. FMB வரைபடத்தில் உள்ள அளவீடுகள் சங்கிலி மற்றும் லிங்க் (Gunter's chain) அல்லது மீட்டர் அளவில் குறிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும். நில அளவையர் (Firka Surveyor) முன்னிலையில் மூலைவிட்ட அளவுகள் (Diagonal tie-lines and offsets) சரிபார்க்கப்படாமல் கிரையம் பெறுவது எல்லைத் தகராறுகளுக்கு வழிவகுக்கும்.
3. கிராம நத்தம் மற்றும் ரயத்துவாரி உரிமை வேறுபாடு (Grama Natham vs Ryotwari Tenure)
கிராம நத்தம் (Grama Natham) என்பது விவசாய பயன்பாட்டிற்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட குடியிருப்பு பகுதியாகும். இது வழக்கமான ரயத்துவாரி வருவாய் கணக்குகளில் வருவாய் நிலமாக வராது. நத்தம் நிலங்களுக்கு தனி நத்தம் பட்டா வழங்கப்படுகிறது. நகரமயமாக்கப்பட்ட பகுதிகளில் பட்டாவிற்கு மாற்றாக நகர அளவை பதிவேடு (Town Survey Land Register - TSLR) மற்றும் பிளாக் மேப் (Block Map) சரிபார்க்கப்பட வேண்டும்.
जमीन खरीदने से पहले जांच के 3 आसान चरण (3-Step Land Verification Guide)
Complete these three checks before paying an advance or signing an agreement in Tamil Nadu:
Seller identity and title match
Compare the seller name and parentage in the digital Patta & Chitta / A-Register directly against their government photo identity (Aadhaar, PAN) and registered deed.
Ground boundary and map match
Inspect the plot on site with the official FMB. Confirm that road access, boundary dimensions, and neighboring plot numbers match the surveyed sheet.
Mutation status tracking
Deed registration at the Sub-Registrar office records the transfer, but revenue ownership updates only after mutation. Track the Online Patta Transfer until the new name is recorded on the ledger.
Tamil Nadu Land Administration: Essential Procedural Modules
Official Tamil Nadu property verification requires coordinating records across the AnyTN citizen portal (eservices.tn.gov.in) and the Registration Department portal (TNREGINET). Review these four essential legal modules before executing real estate transactions in Tamil Nadu.
1. AnyTN Patta Chitta Online Verification & Download
Under the Tamil Nadu Patta Pass Book Act 1983, Patta is the conclusive register of revenue ownership, while Chitta provides detailed land classification and area measurements.
- Rural Patta Chitta: Covers agricultural and rural village lands searched by District, Taluk, Village, and Patta Number or Survey/Subdivision Number.
- Patta Contents: Displays Patta Number, Taluk, Village, Owner Names, Survey and Subdivision Numbers, Wetland / Dryland classification (Nanjai / Punjai), and Land Revenue Tax assessment.
- Digital Authentication: Downloadable e-Patta copies feature an embedded verification URL and QR code valid for legal and financial due diligence.
2. FMB (Field Measurement Book) Cadastral Sketch Extraction
The Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketch is the definitive survey map compiled by the Department of Survey and Settlement, recording boundary lines and dimensions of individual land parcels.
- FMB Ladder Measurements: Shows G-lines (Gunter lines), F-lines (check lines), and perpendicular offset measurements from tie lines.
- Subdivision Accuracy: When a larger survey number is divided, the FMB sketch documents exact sub-parcel boundaries to prevent boundary overlap disputes.
- Official Download: Obtainable online via eservices.tn.gov.in > View FMB Sketch.
3. Town Survey Land Register (TSLR) Extract for Urban Parcels
In municipal corporation areas such as Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai, rural Patta Chitta does not apply. Urban properties are recorded in the Town Survey Land Register (TSLR).
- TSLR Hierarchy: Requires District, Corporation / Municipality, Ward, Block, and Town Survey Number (TS Number).
- Record Data: Displays door number, street name, total ground area in square feet, land classification (Government or Private Ryotwari), and municipal titleholder name.
4. TNREGINET Encumbrance Certificate (Villangam / EC) 30-Year Search
An Encumbrance Certificate (Villangam Saandridhazh) issued by the Registration Department verifies whether the property has registered encumbrances, registered sale deeds, or court attachments.
- Due Diligence Standard: Always conduct a minimum 30-year online search on tnreginet.gov.in to ensure an unbroken chain of ownership.
- Nil Encumbrance Certificate: Confirms no registered transactions or bank mortgages exist for the requested survey parcel during the specified search period.
