Online Patta Transfer

Government land records play an important role in all property related transactions. The Government maintains various land records like patta, chitta, adangal, FMB sketch, encumbrance certificate and copy documents. These records held by the Government are verified by buyers and lenders while buying or lending money with property as collateral. After purchasing a property, one of the first steps to be taken by the new buyer after executing sale deed is to transfer patta. Patta transfer can be initiated by filing an application for patta transfer along with the necessary property sale documents and following up with the concerned Taluka office. Delay or failure to transfer patta within a specified period could lead to the property becoming encumbered or litigated.

Patta

Patta is a government record of containing the details of land ownership, area of land, location with survey details. While purchasing a property, verifying the patta documents will ensure that the property is being purchased from the rightful owner as per Government record. The Government of Tamil Nadu has computerised records of patta chitta and made the same available online. However, to transfer patta, the concerned Taluka office must be approached.

Chitta

Chitta is a government document pertaining to immovable property that is maintained by the concerned Village Administrative Officer (VAO) and Taluka office. In the chitta, the classification of the land between nanjai and punjai is provided along with the details of the owner of the property. Land classification would play an important role to determine the restrictions placed on the end use of land.
